3.00 LOPES DANCER (IRE); 4.00 CLOUD THUNDER; 4.50 BUSY STREET; 7.00 GHADBBAAN; 10.00 FLINT HILL; JEN'S FELLA (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

BUSY STREET shaped well when third in a stronger race than this over C&D last month and could take some stopping for Rebecca Menzies. The nine-year-old has been dropped 1lb for those exertions and, having won two jumpers' bumpers here earlier in the year, is fancied to claim further prize money for connections. Lopes Dancer won over shorter here 19 days ago but has a bit to prove over 2m, while Glan Y Gors might prove best of the remainder.

2.00 WARNE'S ARMY; 4.00 LICIT (IRE); 4.50 A TOUCH OF LUCK (GER); 6.00 ICONIC BELLE; 7.00 SHIFTING GOLD (IRE); 8.00 ROYAL COSMIC; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

WARNE'S ARMY looked in need of her comeback at Lingfield last month and took a big step forward in her development when successful at Southwell a few weeks later. The four-year-old has a 5lb penalty to contend with, but Oliver Stammers' claim accounts for that and a big run could be on the cards. Shifting Gold is better than what she showed at Lingfield last month and wears a first-time visor now, while A Touch Of Luck would also be respected if back to her best.

Forecast:

0.57 DRAGON SYMBOL; 6.00 DAJRAAN; 8.00 COSMOS RAJ; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Archie Watson has an excellent record with his juveniles on the all-weather and DRAGON SYMBOL confirmed that thought process when scoring at Wolverhampton on debut 10 days ago. The Cable Bay colt quickened away impressively there and a 7lb penalty isn't expected to pose too many problems. Dajraan was far from disgraced on stable debut for Kevin Ryan when fourth at Redcar in October and warrants a second look, while Shamrock Wine is related to plenty of winners and could prove best of the newcomers.

Preview:

In a moderate contest the marginal preference is for the former C&D winner BALLYARE, who has finished second off this mark twice in his last three starts. Another Angel has shown promise in his last couple of starts at Southwell and he should not be underestimated today. Others who merit places on the shortlist are Primo's Comet, James Watt and Dazzling Des.

Forecast:

1.20 ARAFI; 4.00 ANGEL OF THE GLEN (FR); 4.50 MADE IN ITALY (IRE); 6.00 TORONADO QUEEN (IRE); 7.00 DANDYS GOLD (IRE).

Preview:

Arafi has to be respected having racked up a hat-trick of victories in her most recent outings, but she is 13lb higher than the most recent of those wins and that has to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for ANGEL OF THE GLEN, who won two of her three starts last season and the unexposed filly may still be underestimated off a mark of 84. Made In Italy and Toronado Queen are others with valid form claims.

BROCTUNE RED has won over C&D three times during this all-weather season, including his last couple of starts, and the in-form six-year-old should not be underestimated this evening. Antagonize was not far behind the selection last time and could give him plenty to think about once again off 2lb better terms. Vertice edges out Merricourt to be the pick of the remainder.

PALLAS DANCER was denied the hat-trick on his most recent start at Wolverhampton but the four-year-old can gain compensation on this occasion despite the drop back in trip. Fashion Free's last C&D appearance saw her in the winner's enclosure and she returned to form when third at Kempton last month, while others for the shortlist include Calonne and Roca Magica.

Preview:

SAISONS D'OR benefited from a drop back in distance when scoring here last month and Jedd O'Keeffe's gelding is capable of handling a 3lb rise if he can back that performance up. Great Colaci was disappointing on his most recent start but the eight-year-old can return to what he achieved when second at the course the time before. Crantock Bay and Greyfire appeal most of the remainder.
