Foaled 17 Feb. Dam won at 6f.
Journalistic arrives here with the most experience having had the benefit of three starts, earning at rating of 78 in the process. Marcus Tregoning's charge appreciated the cut in the ground when last sighted and any rain in the build up might help. Slight preference, though, is for PILGRIMS REST, who will have undoubtedly come on for his first effort at Sandown where an unfavourable wide draw didn't help. The son of Rock Of Gibraltar is partnered with Richard Hughes, who landed a four-timer at Epsom on Sunday and scored in this race 12 months ago. Circus Mondao, Fine Resolve and Oxford Charley make most appeal of the newcomers.
Journalistic sets the standard and seems sure to be thereabouts but there are some interesting types among the newcomers, none more so than Circus Mondao whose yard is in cracking form. Oxford Charley is also worth noting given his purchase price and connections.

Foaled 24 Feb. Half-sister to Carnivore, won five times at 7f and 1m 1f. Unplaced in both starts. Finished 6l behind Misdemeanour when fifth of 9 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Kempton over 1m earlier this month.
Juvenal commands the utmost respect on his return to maiden company and while his most recent effort at Kempton was a three-runner event, the form appears to be working out nicely. However, it is interesting that stable jockey Richard Hughes stays loyal to GOLDEN JUBILEE. The son of Zavata is clearly showing promise at home and Hughes obviously feels that his mount will have improved significantly for his debut ninth at Newbury. Positive market vibes for the newcomer Dedication will be worth taking seriously.
Dubawi Island represents a stable in terrific form and he probably won't have to be much above average to make a winning debut. Uprise might be best of those with experience given he looks to have a bit more improvement in him, while Bonfire is another newcomer that takes the eye on breeding.
Foaled 10 Mar. A winner at 5f on good to firm ground. Finished 6l behind Farhaan when fourth of 6 at 7-2 on his latest outing here over 1m (good) earlier this month.

Foaled 7 Mar. Half-brother to Young Flavio, won twice at 6f. Beaten 17l behind Ortac Rock at 33-1 when 10th of 13 on his racecourse debut at Ascot over 7f (good) earlier this month.
Lord Ofthe Shadows clearly has talent in abundance having shaped well this term and with creditable form at this level, he is worthy of consideration. Slight preference is for FROG HOLLOW, who can boast C&D winning form for Ralph Beckett. That particular effort in front of Hannon's My Queenie looks solid enough and the son of Intikhab appeared to win with something up his sleeve. Norse Gold can be forgiven his last effort on soft ground and might represent the value call with underfoot conditions back in his favour.
Richard Hannon has had a stranglehold over this race in recent seasons and his Lord Ofthe Shadows has strong claims, but Frog Hollow looked a very useful prospect when winning his maiden here and he can make the necessary improvement. Mr Spiggott can also go well.
Successful twice at 1m on good to firm ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 11l behind Sonoran Sands at 9-1 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Newmarket over 1m 2f (good to firm) last month.

Avon River regained the winning thread at Folkestone earlier this month under a prominent Richard Hughes ride but it might be worth taking a chance on ORANGE ACE. The Kempton maiden winner displayed signs of a return to form at Redcar in selling company and the step up to 10f is expected to bring out the best in Paul Cole's charge, who was seemingly doing his best work close home over 1m last week. Rock The Stars makes most appeal of the remainder.
Avon River stands out in this company and will be hard to beat if anywhere near the form which saw him win at Folkestone recently. Kingarrick and Rock The Stars can fill the minor places.
Foaled 18 Mar. A winner at 5f on good to firm ground. Beaten 1/2l by Top Cop when second of 5 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Bath over 6f (good to firm) last month.

Foaled 3 Feb. Full sister to Rio De La Plata, won eight times between 7f and 1m 2f including two Group 1 races. Won on her latest outing when 10-11fav at Lingfield over 7f earlier this month, beating Medea by 3 1/2l.
Foaled 3 Feb. Full sister to Rio De La Plata, won eight times between 7f and 1m 2f including two Group 1 races. Won on her latest outing when 10-11fav at Lingfield over 7f earlier this month, beating Medea by 3 1/2l.
Some decent horses have won this conditions race over the years and IHSAS potentially falls into that bracket following a runaway debut success on the all-weather at Lingfield earlier this month. The daughter of Rahy is a sister to Rio De La Plata, who handled ease underfoot on a number of occasions, and she might be able to maintain an unblemished record. This will be no easy task, however, with Gusto dropping from Listed level and Rex Imperator returning to 6f having not been totally disgraced over a furlong further in a red-hot sales race at Doncaster last time. Artistic Jewel was hampered at Doncaster last time and remains a filly of real potential, while the 90-rated Middle Park entrant Arnold Lane is hardly making up the numbers.
Ihsas will need further than 6f in time, but she looks a potentially high-class filly and ought to be capable of taking this on the way to better things. Artistic Jewel may well pose the biggest threat.
Has won ten races from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft and on the all-weather. Beaten 12l behind Piazza San Pietro at 20-1 when 13th of 15 on his latest outing at Haydock over 6f (good to firm) in July.

The once-raced Iron Range is a fascinating player on his return to competitive action and the betting market should tell a tale, but an initial rating of 85 looks on the stiff side and preference is for SEEKING MAGIC. The Kempton maiden winner has bumped into some nice sorts since being sent down the handicap path and although the assessor has allotted him a 2lb higher mark following a narrow defeat at Bath earlier in the month, the gelded son of Haafhd looks to be progressing all the while and could be up to it. Maze is still fairly treated on the pick of his old form and he seems to have regained some sparkle in recent months.
Seeking Magic has been banging on the door in similar events of late and, still lightly raced and fresher than most going into the last few weeks of the campaign, can gain a deserved first handicap success. Maze and Iron Range may be best of the rest, though Perfect Pastime and Munaaseb are also respected.

ZAFEEN'S PEARL looked on the verge of a third career success when just headed late on over 7f at Yarmouth a fortnight ago. Having won over 1m and 1m1f on the all-weather last winter, she should appreciate the step back up in distance and is taken to defy her revised (career high) rating. If unable to do so, the consistent George Thisby and fellow last-time-out scorer Bennelong could be battling it out for top spot.
A handicap in which there are plenty of runners but few that can be fancied seriously. George Thisby and Zafeen's Pearl are notable exceptions, while Jodawes has left the impression he might be ready to win again.

John Dunlop's three-year-old filly MISS TOPSY TURVY makes a great deal of appeal under a feather weight. The daughter of Mr Greeley hung right and flashed her tail under pressure at Thirsk last time but it didn't prevent her winning and a 6lb rise in the ratings doesn't look overly harsh. If her quirks get the better of her, perhaps Folkestone runner-up Wily Fox will be the one to take advantage, despite being bumped up 2lb for that defeat. Lombok and Penangdouble O One complete the shortlist.
If staying the longer trip Wily Fox seems sure to make his presence felt again, while Miss Topsy Turvy is another who should get involved if proving as effective over this far. Gems can also take a hand if putting a recent blip behind her.
