13:50 – Wadacre Gogo
The most likely to play leading roles are WADACRE GOGO and Percy Willis and, with the latter still a maiden, it’s the Johnston-trained filly who gets the vote. Mr Shady is third on the list, representing the in-form Rebecca Menzies who also runs Mahanakhon Power.

14:20 – Blazing Hot
Grant Tuer has two interesting contenders in Kaafy and BLAZING HOT. The former won on Tapeta in his final run last spring and has claims if he can pick where he left off, but preference is for the resurgent Blazing Hot who made a bold bid at Wolverhampton last week and looks a big player on his drop back in trip. Third choice is triple C&D winner Swiss Connection, while others to consider are Stroxx and Oriental Lilly.
14:50 – Jomont
Top of the list is the progressive JOMONT, who beat an unexposed rival when completing a C&D double last month and is only 1lb higher here in his hat-trick bid. Dragons Will Rise could kick on again on his step back up in trip and he’s feared most, ahead of the returning Termonator who was knocking on the door in his final two runs last spring. Another to keep an eye on is the well-handicapped Starfighter, who was not beaten far when well backed at Wolverhampton last time.
15:20 – Al Zaraqaan
The clear pick at the weights is AL ZARAQAAN, who has a record of 3-3 on AW and should be hard to beat if he can get back somewhere near his best on his return for a new yard. Halimi finished one place behind Sir Chauvelin in a Class 2 handicap at Southwell 12 days ago but he meets his old rival on much more favourable terms here and looks the main danger on this drop back in trip.

15:50 – Neptune Legend
There are not many runners but this looks tricky. Dairerin returns from a break but he won twice during his solid juvenile campaign and is respected upped in trip on his handicap debut. Devasboy ran well for a long way over 1m here last week and looks interesting on his drop back in trip, but the vote goes to Hugo Palmer’s 7f winner NEPTUNE LEGEND, who chased home an improver in a Kempton novice last month and should make another bold bid back in a handicap.
16:20 – Stormy Ocean
Preference is for Charlie Appleby’s STORMY OCEAN, who sets a clear standard on his two promising frame efforts last summer and is open to more progress at this new trip. The main danger is National Charter, who was an eyecatching fourth at Lingfield on her debut last month and looks interesting on her step up to 1m. Chrysos cost £315,000 as a 2yo and he’s an interesting newcomer, while another well-bred debutant to keep an eye on is the selection’s stablemate Blue Trail.

16:50 – Mawkeb
Several have possibilities but the most striking contender is MAWKEB (nap), who stayed on strongly to go very close on his handicap/stable debut here 11 days ago and is on the same mark on this step back up in trip. Abnaa also finished well when runner-up over 7f here last time and he looks the main danger, though both Dreamseller and Broctune Red have each-way claims. The other one on the shortlist is the very lightly raced Naval Captain, who looks interesting upped to 1m on his handicap debut.
