16:35 – Nellie French
Highly tempting to entrust the selection to one of the many in-form types, especially with all three last-time winners The Tron, Blackcurrent and Khulu proven over C&D, on Tapeta, or both at the same time. The last-named (still unexposed over 5f) is the preferred option of these, but if anything is going to muscle in on the party it could be NELLIE FRENCH, a dual 5f Tapeta scorer this time last year and notably returned to the minimum trip tonight for only the second time since.

17:05 Elhafei
Aljaryaal is on the up and should make another bold bid with first-time cheekpieces a possible source of further progress. Percy Willis and Smokey Malone are respected opponents but ELHAFEI is very well treated on last summer’s turf form and could leave last month’s Wolverhampton run behind him.
17:35 Lucayan
The cheekpieces keep continuing to deliver for LUCAYAN (nap), winner in that headgear for the fourth time out of four when taking a class 5 handicap at the first attempt over course and distance 10 days ago. Capable of winning having chased the leader as well as being held up, this smaller-field affair shouldn’t present the Parr filly with any insuperable tactical challenges. Mawkeb, still only five career starts in, is next preferred.

18:05 Back From Dubai
Having opened his account in a similar event here eight days ago, BACK FROM DUBAI may be able to build on that success and defy a 5lb penalty. With a 4lb pull Magic Gem (second choice) holds every chance of reversing last week’s C&D placings with Dubai Elegance, who is respected all the same. Beau Geste and Hunters Step are like two peas in a pod, as they should be major contenders at this level if returning to form.
18:35 Okaidi
The horse that beat OKAIDI at Wolverhampton last week should have followed up at Lingfield on Saturday so that form looks solid for the grade and he can land a first career success here. Jems Bond (second choice) and Broughtons Flare can give him most to think about.

19:05 Aquamas
In an open affair the suggestion is AQUAMAS who was runner-up twice over this trip in the autumn and may have been stretched by 1m last time. Bobby Joe Leg is next best ahead of The Game Of Life and Fact Or Fable.
19:35 Triggered
Kind Review, a last-time-out C&D scorer, and If You Dare are respected but a chance is taken on TRIGGERED building on quite an encouraging run at Newcastle last time.
20:05 Ex Gratia
Olympic Eagle sets the standard but he has been expensive to follow and may find something progressing past him. Crypto Quest is a possible but EX GRATIA is taken to confirm the promise of last month’s Kempton debut.
