Spell and Getchagetchagetcha are two newcomers to watch on debut. Vikivaki ran a nice race to finish fourth on debut on the all weather at Newcastle. He should improve for that run and switches to turf for his second race. However The Irish Rover looks the one here, coming over from Ballydoyle for his second run. His debut was a nice race finishing third to once raced Skitter Scatter with Sergei Prokofiev second. His stable companion then went one better bolting up by over seven lengths at Navan.
The Iris Rover 2 pts win 1/3

Another small field but still competitive, Golden Iris did well to win first time out. Two of those in behind have run since and done nothing to really boost that form though and is passed over. Dathanna heads the market, however without the hood this time and at short odds I will take her on this time. Red Starlight won a 13 runner Novice race in October. She makes her return with ground sure to suit the daughter of Pivotal.
Red Starlight 2 pts win 7/2

A good race in the offering here. Raheen House is very interesting running over this distance for the first time, he could improve for the step up in trip. Time To Study was a good second in a Musselburgh handicap last time out and the booking of Ryan Moore is a positive too. Montaly has won a Chester Cup and a Lonsdale Cup and is feared. However Torcedor has been competing at the highest level and if it wasn't for Order O St George, he would have a group one and two wins to his name last year. He ran no race in Dubai last time out but Jessica Harrington said he didn't enjoy the trip over there and is back in form now.
Torcedor 2 pts win 11/4

The filly Irene should run a good race for Dean Ivory and has that little bit of weight advantage against the boys, but she will be up against it to win. Laugh A Minute comes from the in form Roger Varian yard, he won a 22 runner sales race last time out and now steps up in grade and cannot be discounted. Charlie Appleby sends out Sound And Silence who ran quite often as a two year old. He looks a big price at 5/1 but may have to play second fiddle to Invincible Army. Already placed in group races he ran a very promising race last time behind James Garfield. Ryan Moore has been booked and a big run looks likely.
Invincible Army 2 pts win 11/8
4:20
Century Dream runs without his usual headgear which he has won in four times and so is passed over on this occasion. Hors De Combat won a handicap at Meydan but has been beaten in this race in 2015 and 2016 and is unlikely to change that form today. Victory Bond has been in good form on the all weather during the winter. The drop in trip to a mile is not sure to suit here but Moore is booked to ride. Accidental Agent is a solid pick in this one, has form at the course and on the ground
Accidental Agent 3 pts win 7/4
