13:50 La Yakel
William Haggas has won the last two editions of this mile-and-a-half handicap with lightly-raced improvers owned by Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum and LA YAKEL has a good chance of making it three wins in a row. La Yakel progressed well as a three-year-old last season, winning on a couple of occasions, including a valuable and well-contested handicap at Ascot.
He was by no means disgraced when fourth in a typically strong edition of the Old Rowley Cup on his final outing last term and, with only five starts under his belt, he remains with the potential to raise his game this season.
14:25 Gis A Sub
GIS A SUB struggled for much of a winless campaign in 2022 but he has been given a chance by the handicapper and posted a much more encouraging performance on his return at Newmarket 11 days ago, showing plenty of speed and enthusiasm but ultimately seeming in need of the run as he faded into eighth in that big-field handicap.
Gis A Sub has been eased another 2 lb and looks on a dangerous mark, particularly given how well he ran over this course and distance when runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes in 2021. His best effort of last season also came at this venue.

15:00 Highfield Princess
HIGHFIELD PRINCESS enjoyed a magnificent campaign in 2022, winning on five occasions, including three times in Group 1 company. She was also successful in this Group 2 event last year and, while she had the benefit of race fitness on her side 12 months ago and wasn’t burdened with a penalty like she is here, she will take plenty of beating if close to her best on her return. She might outclass these rivals.
15:35 Novakai
NOVAKAI showed run-by-run improvement on Timeform’s figures as a juvenile, signing off for the campaign with an excellent effort in defeat when runner-up in the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile. There are plenty of potential improvers in here, but Novakai’s Fillies’ Mile effort is the best form on offer and she is also open to further progress over this longer trip on her return.

16:10 Zu Run
ZU RUN shaped as if in need of the experience when fifth on debut at Salisbury last July but left that form well behind to get off the mark at Chelmsford the following month and then progressed again when runner-up under a penalty at Kempton.
He impressed with how he moved through that contest and remains open to improvement as he steps into handicap company with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle for the first time.
16:45 Mashadi
MASHADI, a 265,000 guineas son of Blue Point, made an encouraging start to his career when runner-up on debut at Newmarket’s Guineas meeting, losing out by only a head to Charlie Appleby’s first two-year-old runner of the season, On Point. He is the only contender here with a run under his belt and that experience could prove crucial.
17:15 Paris Lights
PARIS LIGHTS showed improved form when making a winning start for George Boughey at Lingfield in December and then produced an even better effort in defeat when runner-up back at the same venue the following month. He only lost out to an in-form sort in a strong race for the grade and he could still do better for this yard, while he is completely unexposed over this mile-and-a-half trip.
