THE QUIET GENT can give weight and a beating to his rivals on his seasonal bow. He posted two solid efforts on the all-weather towards the back end of last year, building on his Wolverhampton debut second when making all at Kempton, and is likely to be an even better three-year-old. Miss Yorkshire met trouble in running when runner-up on her debut over 7f at Newcastle and must enter calculations, while the upped-in-trip Marajito also holds solid claims. Kennedys Pass makes most appeal of the newcomers.
This looks a great opportunity for THE QUIET GENT to keep the ball rolling and land a second top prize on a trot. Both runs have been on the AW but there's no reason to think Ralph Beckett's colt won't be able to replicate his form on turf and he sets a relatively high bar for others to aspire to. Miss Yorkshire has come closest to date when runner-up on debut at Newcastle in October and is likely the biggest danger along with another filly Marajito who made an encouraging debut last April but has presumably had issues and not been since.
Has been running over hurdles but struggling; bumper form superior; returning from a break; could contend on Flat debut
Well beaten at 6-1 behind Alright Dai when seventh of 8 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Market Rasen over 2m 5f (good to soft) in December last year.

Middle Ages was green when eighth on his debut over 7f at Sandown in July last year and he may have improved during his time away from the track. However, it could be worth focusing on a couple of newcomers, namely EMERALD ISLAND and Gravitas. The latter is a full-brother to Group 3 winner River Of Stars and will likely know his job, but David Menuisier's Galiway colt edges the vote as he is certainly bred to have plenty of ability.
MIDDLE AGES sets the standard for those with any experience (over either code) but it's a pretty low bar as it stands. However, there's likely much better to come (was drawn a bit wide and can be marked up slightly on debut effort) and hailing form a yard going very nicely is entitled to go close. The two 3yo newcomers stand out as the chief dangers, Emerald Island and Gravitas, both of which have the pedigree and price tag to suggest they'll be up to a task like this. Middle Ages can exploit his experience just gets the nod ahead of Emerald Isle, then Gravitas.

GREEN PURSUIT ran out an impressive winner on his seasonal/stable debut at Catterick last Wednesday and, with the promise of more to come, he is fancied to follow up under a 6lb penalty. Lord Roxby showed plenty as a juvenile and is likely to be better at three, while the top-rated Cairdeas may improve having undergone a gelding operation. Far Above The Law and American Style are others to keep an eye on.
A 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop GREEN PURSUIT landing a quick-fire double having sluiced in on season debut last week. He took a big step forward on last term's level and gave the impression there's more in the locker. Lord Roxby and American Style look best placed to take advantage of any faltering by the selection with the former edging it despite flopping on nursery handicap debut on his final outing last year. Eased back a grade and back at 6f, which looked to suit on career debut before his sole victory over a stiff 5f, he looks on a very workable mark given his novice/maiden form. American Style is perhaps less likely to be near peak fitness but is a threat based on the form of his final two outings last term when winning as maiden before finsishing midfield in the ultra-competitive Listed 2YO Trophy at Redcar.
Ran to form beaten a length off 84 over 5f at Catterick last time; enjoys making it; conditions suit; has gone well fresh; in the mix
Has won 16 races from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to firm to soft. Beaten 1l by Vintage Clarets when second of 10 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Catterick over 5f (soft) in October last year.

FORTAMOUR counts the 2022 and 2024 editions of this race among his six previous C&D victories and is weighted to be a key player from just 1lb higher than his latest winning mark. The selections's lack of a recent run is a potential stumbling block and creates some hope for last year's third, Danzan, who could have a big say from 5lb lower this time. Wobwobwob, Rock Opera and Cairn Gorm are others to keep a close eye on in the betting market.
With so many lacking a run a chance is taken with AMERICAN BAY who has less mileage on the clock than most and can take a leap forward now back on turf again. A strong paced 6f looks ideal and he can take advantage of his fitness after a fair effort off a layoff in late march. He could be missed in the market and represent decent each way value. Cairn Gorm looks pretty solid and rates a big danger but Valentine Catcher can chase the selection home. Tim Easterby's gelding is very interesting having won on career debut and then again on season bow last term. With just five runs under his belt there's scope for plenty more and he's shown great versatility surface-wise in a short career. At the other end of the experience scale Mr Wagyu is poised on a threatening mark if rediscovering some sparkle and did go very close on season debut here over 5f in soft last term.
Slowly away beaten 2 1/2l off 88 over 12f at Southwell last time; usually held up;conditions suit; returning from a break; consistent; bang in the mix

EY UP ITS THE BOSS is already a dual C&D winner and, having finished a creditable third off this mark in a similarly competitive handicap when last seen, there is a lot to like about the six-year-old's chances of making a winning seasonal debut. Lord Protector is feared most resuming off 10lb below his last winning rating, although Financer and Wintercrack are others with solid place claims in this company.
A very tight affair where a case can be made for the entire field. The tentative choice is EY UP ITS THE BOSS who finished 2024 in rude health posting career bests. He's gone well fresh, goes well over CD and is pretty versatile ground-wise. He looks the most solid option. The host of dangers is headed by Baryshnikov who blew away the cobwebs at Doncaster recently and now races 2lb lower than his last winning mark. The son of Mastercraftsman will appreciate any rain and it augurs well he's won over CD and gone close on a couple of other ocassions. Lord Protector is feared as he kicked off the season in promising fashion when runner-up at Newcastle in March off a mark 84, 10lb below his last winning mark (2023). If he's come on for the run he poses a threat to all. If there's a deluge then Wintercrack will be seen to best effect and becomes a real player.
Well backed when landing a handicap by 3l off 67 at Kempton last time; blinkers first time; off a short-break; scope for more; the pick on balance of form
Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 4-5fav at Kempton over 1m in January, beating Squires Treaty by 2 3/4l. He is wearing blinkers for the first time.

The Outlaw has won both starts since being stepped up to a mile but he is yet to place on the turf despite three attempts, which has to be a concern for his supporters. Flagon Dry progressed nicely as a two-year-old, with a fifth and a second at Wolverhampton before a narrow win at Southwell, and he could have more to offer this season, but LAST SHAMARDAL may have their measure. Another making his turf debut, an added 3lb might not be enough to stop him completing the hat-trick.
THE OUTLAW can maintain the progress shown since handicapping and land a hat-trick. Both recent wins came on the AW in January but he has shown enough on turf to suggest the switch away from AW shouldn't be a big issue. Last Shammardal is a big danger and another seeking a hat-trick having won two of his three runs on the AW. He has to contend with a new surface and a step up in trip from 7f but neither looks a particular issue and Jack Channon's gelding can push the selction close. Flagon Dry is in the mix but his opening mark is fair at best and turf is an unkown, but there's more to come from Epicurian Lad and the step up to this mile could trigger a jump forward. Richard Fahey's Twighlight Son gelding is feared.

Ellie-May Croot won this in 2023 on Dogged and she could go close once more aboard Bowood, a C&D winner who ought to be better suited by a return to turf after failing to register a victory on the all-weather. Dutch Decoy's latest win was off 5lb higher back in 2023. He has been competing in better races and could make the most of this drop in class, but he may struggle to cope with GARDEN OASIS, who has won here six times and placed on six other occasions.
BOWOOD took big strides forward last year being raised 20lb, a streak that included a hat-trick on the turf, one of which was a convincing CD win, and Ivan Furtodo's charge looks to be the most reliable in a trappy event. Much will depend on the fitness of some of those returning off a layoff. Garden Oasis is one and would be a solid option if his fitness could be taken on trust but he's tended to need a pipe-opener and is overlooked this time. Top weight On The River has a better record fresh and while looking handicapped to the hilt for now can still make his presence felt on a track that suits well. Overnight Oasis is fit and a threat on the pick of his form but has to bounce back from a poor effort last time when raised to this class. So, Pisanello is taken to chase home the selection. David O'Meara's gelding can go well fresh and is versatile ground-wise. While he lost form late last term it's hoped the break might have freshend him up and he's on a dangeropus mark if rediscovering some verve.
