Forecast:

2.75 EL CONQUISTADOR (USA); 4.00 CURTIZ; 5.00 DELEYLL; 6.00 DAWN TREADER (IRE); 8.00 CAFE MILANO; 10.00 GOLD SOUK (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

EL CONQUISTADOR made a winning debut for this yard when scoring over C&D last month and a 2lb rise for that victory may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Deleyll is an obvious threat to the selection having also been victorious over this track and trip last time, while Curtiz and Dawn Treader complete the shortlist.

Preview:

In a wide-open contest the marginal preference is for MUSIC MAJOR, who is a three-time C&D winner and plenty of encouragement can be taken from his last couple of starts. Socru has also been running well in defeat of late and it would be no surprise to see him in the mix once again. Famous Dynasty edges out Anniemation to be the pick of the remainder.

Forecast:

2.00 ALBERT CAMUS; 2.25 CHEEKY AZ; 4.50 CURRENCY EXCHANGE (IRE); SILVESTRIS; 8.00 SWINTON NOON.

Preview:

All of these have claims but none more so than ALBERT CAMUS, who finished well when filling fourth place in a mile nursery at Newcastle in November. This step up in trip should suit the son of Teofilo and he remains on a workable mark. Cheeky Az has improved with every start to date and he merits respect on his handicap debut. Silvestris showed plenty of ability as a juvenile and he may improve for a gelding operation over the winter.

Preview:

SUGAR DUMPLING built on an encouraging debut when getting off the mark at the second attempt last month and has a great chance of following up that Southwell victory here. The second on that occasion has franked the form by scoring on his next outing and Ray Dawson takes over in the saddle to remove a handy 3lb. Zen Dancer was much improved when not beaten far over track and trip last time, while the experience of the consistent Four Adaay has to be respected.

Preview:

RIVER WHARFE has twice gone close since scoring over 7f at Chelmsford in November and looks the one to beat making his first appearance for Tony Carroll. The drop back to 6f should pose few problems and he can edge out Hughie Morrison's handicap debutant Rosemary And Thyme, who is interesting here following wind surgery. Patsy Fagan has finished behind the selection in two of his last three, but is a consistent performer, who could make the frame, while Power On makes some appeal having switched to John Butler.

Preview:

SHAQEEQA rattled the crossbar when seen over this trip recently and it could be the added experience of David Loughnane's filly that proves crucial at the business end. Day Trader has performed with real credit the last twice and the Estidhkaar colt is likely to be thereabouts at the finish, while Spirituoso showed some improvement when third over 6f here last month and could be suited by trying this distance.

Preview:

SEA OF CHARM sets the standard on her 6f second at Kempton in September and although she ran below that level when last sighted over this trip at Kempton the following month, it is hoped a subsequent break could have benefited her. He Can Dance is closely matched with the selection on official figures and a repeat of his neck second at Lingfield last time would see him go very close on these terms. Bertie's Wish likely has better to offer and is another to note.

Preview:

Charles Le Brun has been running to a consistent level in defeat over 6f lately and has viable place claims now upped in trip, though it might be worth taking a chance on AFRO BLUE in the hope a first-time visor can unlock immediate improvement from Mick Appleby's four-year-old. The selection ran a creditable race in fourth over 1m here last time. Deception Valley and Everkyllachy are others to bear in mind for the minor money.
