It could pay to side with SPRING BREEZE in what looks a fairly open start to proceedings. John Quinn's useful dual purpose performer was far from disgraced when third on his latest flat outing at Doncaster in July last year and has readily landed two hurdle races since. Ramvaswani has been in good form over hurdles of late and should figure, while Cumbrian Knight, who won this race in 2008, could go well at bigger odds.

Dig Deep produced his best effort for some time when runner-up over 6f here just under six weeks ago and is sure to be thereabouts if in the same mood today, but they will all have to go some to beat CAPRIO. He won a shade cosily at Wolverhampton last time and should be able to defy a 3lb rise in the weights. Prohibition is entitled to strip fitter for his comeback run last month and cannot be ruled out.

STAR PROMISE looks sure to take all the beating. She went close over 5f here on Sunday and was doing her best work at the finish so this step up in trip looks sure to suit. Her only success to date came at this venue and she can double her tally at the main expense of Anjomarba, who has been knocking on the door of late. Olympic Ceremony is another worthy of consideration on his first run in claiming company.

HAKA DANCER gets the tentative vote to score on his flat race debut. He looked a useful prospect when first starting out over hurdles for Timmy Hyde and produced his best effort for current connections when runner-up at Musselburgh in November. All Guns Firing may improve for his comeback run here last month and warrants respect, while Stormy Summer is another with claims if putting his best foot forward.

What's Up Doc has a good record in plating company and shouldn't be far away if none the worse for his tumble over hurdles when last seen in October, but it is TRANSMISSION gets the nod. Bryan Smart's gelding landed the corresponding race 12 months ago and has shown enough spark in two recent course runs to suggest he can repeat the feat. Clear Sailing won well at Wolverhampton last month and can't be ignored either.

ONCEAPONATIME found only the well-handicapped Harlech Castle too good in a similar race to this on Tuesday and is strongly fancied to gain compensation. The 4-y-o has twice proved his effectiveness on this fibresand surface and races off the same mark as for his recent narrow defeat. Chosen One has a bit to prove at the track but ran well at Kempton last time and could be worth another chance. Gracie's Gift and Ponting are also considered.

KING OF RHYTHM gained a much-needed confidence booster over this course and distance last month and there's every chance he can follow up. The Declan Carroll inmate had been on a long losing run but relished the drop into classified company on that occasion and the manner in which he did it suggests he will be competitive back in the handicap ranks. One Cool Dream is unexposed and could be worth a look after her short break, while Headache was well held by the selection last time but is capable of a good deal better.
