He has been freshened up following a break and is well worth sticking with for now in firsttime cheekpieces. Archive is a consistent performer at this level and should be thereabouts, likewise course scorer Loud And Clear. Top Tip: ILLUSTRISSIME (7) Watch out for: ARCHIVE (12)

Having her first run for David Loughnane, a stable switch she's entitled to improved for, it could be that she goes in again and she's on a decent mark judged on her Kempton fifth in October. Battle Of Wills makes his nursery debut and looks the main danger ahead of Love Kisses. Top Tip: UM SHAMA (6) Watch out for: BATTLE OF WILLS (2)

Tobeeornottobee was sent off favourite for a 5f contest here last time and appeared to be outpaced in third, so this extra furlong could feasibly be a source of immediate improvement. Richard Fahey's grade dropper Griggy is another to bear in mind. Top Tip: RICH APPROACH (2) Watch out for: TOBEEORNOTTOBEE (7)

The unexposed Merweb rattled the crossbar over C&D in a novice contest two starts ago before filling the same position at Wolverhampton in a handicap. Off an unchanged mark, Heather Main's charge could be the one to give the selection most to think about. Trackandtrip winner Gilded Heaven looks the pick of the remainder now returned to Tapeta.

Etikaal got the better of the selection on that occasion at 401, but past form suggests that he is unlikely to repeat the trick and he has been raised 5lb since those exertions.

ATR VERDICT: INSURPLUS ran a creditable race in second over this track and trip two starts ago and looked poised to challenge before his run petered out close home over 7f last time. The drop in trip should suit and he can get the better of Duke Cosimo, who won gamely at Kempton in October and remains on a competitive mark. Sir Ottoman needs a market check following a wind operation, while Kroy is consistent and should make his presence felt once more. Top Tip: INSURPLUS (3) Watch out for: KROY (8) 2018 At The Races.

ATR VERDICT: CUPPACOCO performed well when third here last month and has more to offer over 6f for Ann Duffield. He should have come on plenty for that first outing of the winter and makes more appeal than Dandy Highwayman, who won a weak 058 here last time out, and Tadaany, who was third in that same event. Lucky Lodge isn't easy to predict but might go well back at a track where he has an excellent recent record. Top Tip: CUPPACOCO (2) Watch out for: DANDY HIGHWAYMAN (4) 2018 At The Races.
