REFUGE is already a four-time winner over C&D and is an attractive proposition back here off 1lb below his last successful rating. Fast ground ideally suits the eight-year-old and, with Lewis Chalkley claiming 7lb, there is an awful lot to like. Match Play, a fellow track-and-trip winner, is also attractively weighted and appears the chief danger on the back of an improved effort when third at Redcar. Royal Duke and Kyber Crystal are the pick of the remainder.
NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND could well be the answer in a trappy handicap for the grade. The selection is a two-time C&D winner on good to firm, scoring off a mark of 66 last summer. The veteran runs off an 8lb lower mark here and the trainer and jockey combination boast an eyecatching 80 per cent strike-rate this season, with William Pyle winning on four of his five rides for trainer Ruth Carr. Refuge is respected, four of the veteran's seven wins have come over C&D, including on good to firm, and is 1lb below his last winning mark. Woohoo could hit the frame. More lightly raced than all bar one of her rivals, the four-year-old filly was denied a clear run last time out and can be rated higher than her bare form, that effort coming on her second start since switching yards from Ireland.
Well held and never able to land a blow in a novice over 5f at Pontefract on debut; up in trip here; should come on for the run but plenty more needed

Dacres Cross has shown some promise in his two previous starts and sets the current standard. However, the bar isn't too high and he could be worth taking on with one of the newcomers. HARLEQUIN BAY, who is a half-brother to a 5f winner, fits the bill on paper and is suggested as the first one to consider. Market support for Blue Mantle and Kolkata Knight would also be highly noteworthy.
Dacres Cross sets the form standard for the runners with racecourse experience, finishing fifth of eight and fourth of eight in his first two starts, but may be vulnerable to a newcomer. The pick of those could be KOLKATA KNIGHT, an early foal with a speedy pedigree - dam ran in Listed class in Italy - the Tom Dascombe-trained colt makes the long trip up from Lambourn and is the yard's only runner on the card, and was sent here rather than Redcar on Monday. The yard are also 1/4 with their runners at the track over the last five years. Harlequin Bay is another interesting debutant. Speedily bred, he hails from a powerful yard that boast a 31% strike-rate at Hamilton with their two-year old runners over the last five years. The Charlie Johnston-trained Blue Mantle is bred to suit further than this but warrants a market check on debut

Heavily backed when runner-up, beaten 3/4l, in a 10f novice at Beverley on debut; plenty of stamina in the pedigree and the step up in trip could suit his long-striding middle-distance action; contender
Half-brother to Secret Advisor, won four times at 1m and 1m 6f including a Group 3 race. Beaten 3/4l by Spinning Wheel when second of 10 at 6-5fav on his racecourse debut at Beverley over 1m 2f (good) last month.

MAFTING was heavily backed for his debut and although he found one too good in that novice event at Beverley, he showed enough promise to suggest he could be hard to beat in this smaller field now he has some experience. Me And Bobby Mcgee is a half-brother to plenty of winners and won't need to be anything special to have an impact on his introduction. Talismans Time, who has been gelded since last seen, is preferred for third, despite Kabuki's jumps form suggesting he could have a say.
MAFTING was heavily backed over 10f on debut and although unable to convert that market confidence, the gelding was beaten just 3/4l, with the first two clear of the rest. The step up in trip should suit as his dam was a 12f Gr3 winner in France and two of his half-siblings were Group winners over 11f and 14f, and this step up in trip should suit his long-striding middle-distance action. The newcomer Me And Bobby McGee could give the selection most to do. Although more speedily bred than his four winning staying siblings, by the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Bobby's Kitten, that colt won a Grade 3 over an extended 8f. The colt's dam won up to 14f and he is respected on debut from the powerful Charlie Johnston yard. Talismans Time may have been unsuited by soft ground when a well-held beaten favourite when last seen. Gelded since that run, he has possibilities breeding-wise stepped up in trip on quicker ground and the yard are in good form.
Yard has won 3 of last 9 runnings of the race; scored by 3/4l off 89 over 1m5f here last time out; down in trip here but has won over shorter; leading contender
Winner of six races from 1m 2f to 1m 6f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft and on the all-weather. A winner at 11-4 here over 1m 5f (good to firm) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Kitteridge by 3/4l. Carries a 4lb penalty today for that success.

FAYLAQ showed the benefit of his reappearance at Musselburgh when making all over 1m5f here 12 days ago. A 4lb penalty and slight drop in trip are unlikely to hamper the veteran's follow-up bid and a seventh career victory may beckon. The progressive Creatif makes plenty of appeal reverting to 1m4f and he should give the selection plenty to think about. Per Contra is the pick of the remainder.
Creatif, rejuvenated by a wind op, could have more to come stepped up in trip and class. A winner on his penultimate start over 10.2f at Newcastle, the gelding showed his ability to act on the ground when second at Ripon last time out. Stamina should not be an issue as underlined by his wining debut over 12f at Saint-Cloud last season. While FAYLAQ may not be in the first flush of youth, the veteran posted a rock-solid win over 13f at the track last-time out, has won over shorter, acts on the ground and the yard target this race. Whathappensinvegas can be frustratingly inconsistent but hinted at a return to form last time out on seasonal return and has a squeak on the form of last season's 11f win at the track.
Well beaten in a handicap over 12f at Catterick on last start looking to have stamina issues on soft ground; usually consistent; steps back to a more suitable trip; expect better

Starliner has been knocking on the door in recent months and, racing off the same mark as his latest second over slightly shorter here, another bold showing is forecast. However, he may have to play second fiddle once more, with BUBBLES WONKY edging the vote. The Lope De Vega gelding caught the eye when fifth on his seasonal bow at Doncaster and is expected to take the necessary step forward. Braes Of Doune is also noted.
BAMBURGH has shown winning ability in all three starts, should suit this step up in trip on handicap debut after a gelding op and, being a full-brother to 1000 Guineas winner Mother Earth, carries a level of potential that suggests a Class 4 handicap should be well within his compass. While Bubbles Wonky has some questions to answer having failed to convert market support on several occasions, he made an eyecatching return when sent off favourite following a gelding op - suffered trouble in running - and can contend stepped up to a feasible trip. Bodorgan was well beaten in a handicap over 12f on his final start last season, looking to have stamina issues on soft ground, but was consistent before that, steps back to a more suitable trip and has run well fresh in the past.
Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; too free when fourth over 10f at Ayr on seasonal return; sole win over 10f and down in trip here; unproven on fast ground; slow gates can be an issue
A winner at 1m 2f on good ground. Finished 5l behind Glasses Up when fourth of 8 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Ayr over 1m 2f (good to firm) earlier this month.

RING OF GOLD finished over five lengths clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot at Nottingham last month and goes off the same rating. The eight-year-old lurks on an appealing mark and can return to winning ways. Bay Dream Believer took the silver medal home over 1m2f at Ripon last week and is likely to be on the premises again, while Hostelry is another to note.
HOSTELRY could be the answer in a trappy Class 6 event. The 8yo was repeatedly denied a clear run when finishing third at Ayr last time out, is in good form, acts on the ground and the mare goes well for this jockey. Jumeira Vision, versatile trip-wise and going-wise, has possibilities on the form of last summer's hat-trick, the last leg of which was on this track. Bay Dream Believer is in a consistent vein of form, albeit over longer trips, but has won over 8f, acts on the ground and should be doing her best work late.

ISHE WORTH AGAMBLE sprung a 22/1 surprise when going in by a length at Leicester last weekend and now has a 5lb penalty to carry. If the four-year-old remains in similar form, he will prove tough to beat. Black Cab struck by a neck on his second handicap start at Wolverhampton and is an interesting contender on his first outing for the Alison Hamilton yard. Of the remainder, Back Tomorrow makes the most appeal.
BACK TOMORROW can return to winning ways back over her ideal trip for in-form trainer Ewan Whillans. The obvious concern is that all five of her wins have come on the AW, but her last run at Ayr showed the mare handled good to firm and the trainer/jockey combination boast a 30% strike-rate this season. Ishe Worth Agamble got off the mark on his 13th start at Leicester last time out, despite a troubled passage. The gelding proved his ability to act on the ground there and could be a possible late bloomer as a four-year-old. While Rain Cap has posted below-form runs the last twice on the AW, all seven wins have come on turf The veteran acts on the track, is versatile trip-wise and is not out of it with his 7lb claimer on board.
