Forecast:

1.10 SERGEANT MAJOR; 1.38 SILVER SHADE (FR); 8.00 VENTURA KINGDOM (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

SERGEANT MAJOR certainly wasn't stopping when successful over 10 furlongs at Chelmsford last time and Richard Hannon's charge can defy a 6lb higher mark in this. Silver Shade was only collared late on over this trip on his handicap debut at Lingfield and could go well despite a 4lb rise. The other two Mark Johnston runners have a bit to find on form, as Ventura Kingdom blotted his copybook somewhat at Lingfield last time and Myrtle Maclagan has shown nothing in two starts this year.

Preview:

Heaven Forfend showed the benefit of a wind operation when winning a three-runner contest at Lingfield last time, but this will be a sterner test of his new-found resolution and perhaps GREAT COLACI is a better option. Gillian Boanas' gelding has shown a real liking for this track and ran well for second over an inadequate 7f last time. Off the same mark over this longer trip, he can strike. Win Win Power's hat-trick bid ended in a tepid defeat at Southwell last time but he shouldn't be left out of calculations on this surface.

Preview:

BRAZEN BOW followed up a solid third over this track and trip on debut by filling the same spot over 6f at Wolverhampton last time. Richard Fahey's charge can put his experience to good use. John Gosden unleashes Mostahdaf here and warrants respect. By Frankel out of a Dubawi mare, he certainly won't lack for class on pedigree and this could be an ideal starting point, while River Tweed is another newcomer to note for Charlie Hills.

Forecast:

2.25 ARTISTIC RIFLES (IRE); 2.50 STREAK LIGHTNING (IRE); 3.50 DUESENBERG (IRE); 7.00 ATHEEB; GREEK KODIAC (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

STREAK LIGHTNING left some disappointments in the past when dropping back in trip to score over course and distance in January and he could be the answer again here following a 4lb rise. A change of tactics worked well that day and there could be plenty more to come from the four-year-old over this distance. Greek Kodiac has made the podium off this rating in all three appearances since winning over track and trip in December and has to be respected, while Artistic Rifles and Duesenberg have both placed over a mile here recently and are well worth consideration.

1.38 HEALING POWER; 2.25 SEAS OF ELZAAM (IRE); 3.00 PORTUGUESEPRINCESS (IRE); 8.00 RESTLESS ENDEAVOUR (IRE).

Preview:

HEALING POWER was denied by a neck when sent off favourite at Chelmsford earlier this month and Ivan Furtado's five-year-old could pick up some compensation if in the same form. Seas Of Elzaam hit the crossbar over 7f here last time and is interesting dropping back in trip, while Portugueseprincess' best would see her get the better of Restless Endeavour for third.

Preview:

ABSOLUTE DREAM landed a gamble here 11 days ago for Richard Fahey and remains unexposed over this 6f distance. A 4lb rise doesn't look too harsh all things considered, and the five-year-old is preferred ahead of Devil's Angel, who was also successful over C&D earlier this month but needs to be delivered right on the line by Megan Nicholls off a 2lb higher mark. The consistent Al Suil Eile is also fancied to hit the frame once more.

2.75 OUTCAST; 4.00 MARTA BOY; 4.50 FOR PEAT'S SAKE; 10.00 ELLAND ROAD BOY (IRE); SUNTORY STAR (IRE); TANTASTIC; WEST WAY NEVER (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

OUTCAST put in a massive career-best effort when scoring at Chelmsford on reappearance last month and an opening handicap mark of 65 doesn't look too daunting for the Outstrip filly. The three-year-old was always doing enough there under a patient ride by Kieran Shoemark, and this track is fancied to suit Charlie Hills' charge. For Peat's Sake wears first-time cheekpieces after finding one too good at Lingfield last week, while recent C&D scorer Marta Boy is another worth considering.
