Laraaib accounted for Communique (second) to sign off his campaign at Ascot in a Group 3 last time, but this can go the way of DEFOE. Roger Varian has started the season in fine form, while it is worth noting that the fiveyearold has won first time out in each of the last two years. He receives 3lb from some of his fellow market protagonists and could prove tough to stop.

ATR VERDICT: DANDHU coped well with a step up in grade when second in the Rockfel at Newmarket in September to sign off her 2018 campaign and the threeyearold looks likely to enjoy another successful season for patient handler David Elsworth. Dancing Vega showed a professional attitude to saunter clear on debut at Doncaster in October and looks a promising type to follow for Ralph Beckett this season, while So Perfect was deemed good enough to run at the Breeders' Cup by Aidan O'Brien last year and she was far from disgraced when third behind Bulletin, who has already made a winning reappearance over in the US.

Boitron was unbeaten before finding a Group 1 at Longchamp too hot to handle in the autumn, but he was far from disgraced there and remains one to keep onside, with the second from that race winning well in Ireland last week. Hello Youmzain showed a liking for soft ground when landing a Group 2 in France last year and could be exciting to follow, but marginal preference is for MOHAATHER. A 331 Group 3 winner over this course and distance as a twoyearold, the son of Showcasing loved the step up to 7f that day and can prove those exertions to be no fluke back under Jim Crowley.

Red Starlight was second behind a progressive type in the Doncaster Mile two weeks ago, while Exec Chef almost made his reappearance a winning one when second in the Spring Mile on Town Moor when last seen. Softer ground will suit Jim Boyle's charge, but at a price, it might be worth chancing THIRD TIME LUCKY. Dropped 2lb since finishing eighth in the Lincoln and with Sean Davis taking off a valuable 5lb, it is worth noting that this yard have won two of the last five renewals of this contest. The sevenyearold seldom runs a bad race in this bigfield handicaps, and his ability to handle varying ground makes him a good one to have onside. 90 90 89 10 (20) 11 (12) 605200 SOUTH SEAS (IRE) 14 ch g Lope De Vega Let It Be Me 330332 PATTIE 37 D ch m Sixties Icon Excellent Day 5 9 3 Connor Beasley P A Kirby 5 9 2 G Mosse 97 Top Tip: THIRD TIME LUCKY (14) Watch out for: ANOTHER BATT (1) 12 (25) 4142 RIPP ORF (IRE) 14 D b g Rip Van Winkle Barzah 5 9 2 S M Levey 97 13 (21) 251700 HUMBERT (IRE) 14 D b g Kodiac Fee Eria 5 9 1p D Tudhope D O'Meara 14 (7) 238 THIRD TIME LUCKY (IRE) 14 D gr g Clodovil Speckled Hen 7 9 1 S P Davis (5) R A Fahey 15 (23) 237000 RAYDIANCE 14 b g Mayson Iridescence 4 9 0 Harrison Shaw (5) K R Burke 16 (19) 211132 EXEC CHEF (IRE) 14 CD ch g Excelebration Donnelly's Hollow 4 9 0 P Cosgrave J R Boyle 17 (24) 533267 FIRE BRIGADE 154 D b g Firebreak Island Rhapsody 5 8 13 J P Spencer M L W Bell 94
(R5) 15:50 NEWBURY, 1m Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Maiden Stakes (Plus 10) (Div 1) (Class 4) (3YO only) ATR VERDICT: A maiden that often goes to a highclass prospect with the likes of Noble Mission, Call To Mind and Raymond Tusk all featuring of the roll of honour since 2012. The one that stands out today is CRYSTAL TRIBE, who is a halfbrother to a pair of blacktype performers and his dam won the Fillies' Mile. Fox Chairman is another interesting newcomer being a halfbrother to the Group 1 winner La Collina and he cost connections 450,000gns as a yearling. Just The Man displayed promise in both starts as a juvenile and is the pick of those with experience, ahead of Migration.

The son of Lope De Vega was only narrowly beaten on his debut over 7f here in September and the winner is clearly highly thought of as he contested a Group 1 on his next start. Andrew Balding's colt is entitled to improve as a threeyearold and he should not be underestimated today. That said, a chance can be taken on GOLD STICK, who is by the top sire Dubawi and out of a mare who won a Group 2 in this country. He represents powerful connections who may have targeted this meeting as an ideal starting point for his season. Roseman's price increased from 180,000gns as a foal to 650,000 euros a year later and his halfsister was a blacktype performer in France. Aql, Global Rock and Loch Laggan are other debutants who merit consideration.

The son of Teofilo is a threeparts brother to the 1m4f Group 2 winner Strathspey and he is likely to take a big step forward today. The other Royal runner in the field is Space Walk, who is a fullbrother to the highclass pair of Call To Mind and Recorder. William Haggas won this contest 12 months ago with the subsequent triple Group 3 winner Young Rascal and any market support would have to be noted. Doune Castle cost 82,000gns as a yearling and is another to monitor in the market, while Majestic Dawn also merits a place on the shortlist.

Time Change remains unexposed for a fouryearold and she has to be respected based on her Salisbury win in May, while Dream Machine and Lunar Jet are others who merit consideration.
