Based on that evidence, Ed Walker's gelding gets the nod in a race that appears to be wide open. Citta D'Oro has to be respected following his win here last month, while Classic Charm and Kilbaha Lady complete the shortlist. Top Tip: BIG BAD LOL (6) Watch out for: CITTA D'ORO (1)

A 2lb rise for that effort is fair and he has proven that he can win following a break in the past. Tough Remedy has already had a productive spell on the allweather this winter and he could put in another good effort. Others to consider are Ballard Down, Executive Force and Gurkha Friend.

Paradise Boy was headed on the post over the extended 1m1f here last month and could appreciate the return to further, given he'd previously landed a 1m4f maiden at Lingfield. Thunderoad, beaten by a neck in a C&D handicap last month, looks best of the rest. Top Tip: ALBERT FINNEY (2) Watch out for: PARADISE BOY (1)

James Fanshawe's fouryearold is expected to show up well off an opening mark of 83 on her handicap bow. Toy Theatre won stylishly in this grade over 1m from Ventura Blues at Newcastle and could be putting in her best work in at the finish as she bids to shake off a 7lb rise.

A 101 winner over course and distance last month, he could kick on after that first career win and defy a 3lb rise. Singing The Blues is interesting on a hattrick, while Rail Dancer and Enmeshing are also worth mentioning. Top Tip: TOUR DE PARIS (6) Watch out for: SINGING THE BLUES (8)

The threeyearold is related to plenty of winners and can defy a poor draw in stall 12 to score. Phosphor had a bit of a reputation last year for Martyn Meade and could take a step forward on seasonal reappearance, while Global Prospector cost 800,000gns as a twoyearold last April and warrants a market check.
