RIMAAH was runner-up in both her starts and should get it right from pole position over the extra. A COLOURFUL PAST found support on debut and wasn't disgraced. She will enjoy the extra and will know more about it. ALLTHEWAYFROMUSA, I'VE GOT WINGS, SKYFULL and TREATY are looking to improve over the extra. Include TRIED AND TRUE in the Quartet.

Two runners stand out, OUTOFTHEDARKNESS and WHAFEEF. The former gives start and found problems in the Classic but is well weighted under the conditions. WHAFEEF is up-and-coming and is also tardy at the start. ABOUT TO STORM is back over a preferred distance and should make his presence felt. The remaining four runners are all capable on their day and could get into the frame.

Both IMPOSING ANGEL and INSATIABLE are in top form and searching for the hat-trick, however, the field is competitive and others need to be respected. ICE EATER is 4.5kg better off with IRFAANS BOY and is on target to make up a neck defeat. ALABAMA ANNA has ability but could just need it. DROGHIERE and GIN AND TONIC are looking to upset.

Good race. QUANTUM KING is running well but races over the minimum distance for the first time. Speedsters like GOLIATH HERON, BIG EYED GIRL and VISIWAY could get away. IT'S ABOUT TIME is doing well in his new yard but could be troubled by a breathing problem. Stablemate KWITE A TRIP is capable but has a hefty weight. RETALLICK tries the inside track for the first time - respect. SPANISH BOY has run well fresh before.

FREED FROM DESIRE is in top form and should carry too many guns for them. She gives stable companion ANNE BOLEYN 9.5kg and she could challenge. CELESTIAL LOVE is running below best form but could improve. Stablemate THUMBS UP enjoys this track and trip and could get into the Trifecta. LUCY IN THE SKY and ECSTATIC GREEN (races before this) could make the frame.

Competitive race and SPIRITOFTHEGROOVE could be ready to resume winning ways from pole position. ABALUS pulled up fatigued and in season last time. Look for a better performance. TWICE AS SPLENDID is threatening for his 2nd victory. Stablemate GRINDELWALD is capable and cannot be ignored. CORVETTE CAPTAIN is running close-up but needs to get across from a wide draw. CHARGE DOWN disappointed last time.

After five consecutive runner-up positions DAWN OF A NEW ERA could have his just reward. CALIBRE CREST was heavily backed when easily accounting for a moderate maiden field, however, he looks to have plenty more to come and must be respected. CASTLE CORNER disappointed last time and should do better. LET THERE BE LIGHT could feature if puts it in. Stablemate SERGEI can do better. KING ARTHUR can go on from a maiden win.

Open and many with winning chances. FRANKLIN comes off a rest and could prove value for money. CASTLE DURROW was narrowly beaten last time after encountering interference. She could make amends. SARAGON has blinkers on and if settles could get into the reckoning. ETERNAL LIFE could hold WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE on their meeting in February. TINDER DRY and ULULATE could get into the mix.

Paul Peter has a strong hand with 4 of 5 runners having serious claims - NAVAL GUARD has matured and holding form; SECRET IS OURS runs well at this track; GREAT AFFAIR is reported working well in new surroundings; GRIMALDI will have the run of the race from an inside draw. TWIN TURBO and MY MASTER (wide draw) cannot be ignored for money.

Despite running about last time KIND JUDY won well, beating DUTCHESSBURNEDETTE by three lengths. The latter has a pull of 4kg and could make a race of it. Stable companion to the former, GLOBAL LOUISE is having her peak run and could get into the fight for honours. Top weight KEEPINGTHEPEACE comes off a rest and could make the Quartet. NASIRIYAH, THREE HILLS, FASINADA and TUULETAR are looking for minor money.
