RACE 1: 2 VARISTOCRACY   5 ROYAL VIRTUE   1 SERENA SLAM   10 DAWN RAIDER

Preview: VARISTOCRACY (2) made an eye-catching debut against older horses. If he can build on that he should prove difficult to beat. ROYAL VIRTUE (5) has improved with each outing. He has been rested and takes to the poly for the first time but meets little of note. SERENA SLAM (1) takes on males but showed up well over course and distance last run and can finish in the money again. DAWN RAIDER (10) does seem a little better than his last run and can earn a cheque. (Andrew Harrison: 2-5-1-10).

RACE 2: 7 QUENANZA   2 PRINCESS SABRINA   12 TRENADORA   8 SPACE ODDITY

Preview: Keep an eye on the betting on the first timers. QUENANZA (7) has shown recent improvement. Last run possibly a touch too far and can do better this shorter trip. PRINCESS SABRINA (2) made sudden improvement second time out on the poly for her new stable. She can build on that. TRENADORA (12) has the worst of the draw but caught the eye last run and does not have much to beat here. SPACE ODDITY (8) caught the eye when chased up from a wide draw. Blinkers on and can do better. (Andrew Harrison: 7-2-12-8).

RACE 3: 3 DOUBLE EDGE   2 DIEDI   5 GUY FOX   7 LUCRETIUS

Preview: DOUBLE EDGE (3) made a smart debut and is sure to come on from that effort from a favourable draw. DIEDI (2) has improved at recent outings and steps up in trip. He has shown form on the poly track. GUY FOX (5) finished in front of Double Edge when last they met but he has already had nine starts. LUCRETIUS (7) was not far back on debut in yielding going. He is sure to have come on with the experience. ANCIENT STATE (10) can do better than his last run.  (Andrew Harrison: (3-2-5-7).

RACE 4: 1 PAPILLON   12 HIROSHIMA   3 EMBARRAS DE RICHES   5 RUBY SKY

  Preview: PAPILLON (1) was touched off over further last run. She is down in trip but meets modest opposition. HIROSHIMA (12) has shown some recent improvement. A wide draw is a concern but she can still go close with and in form Muzi Yeni aboard. EMBARRAS DE RICHES (3) was a touch unlucky last run. She has done well on the poly and has a strong winning chance. RUBY SKY (5) has shown some ability and switches to the poly. (Andrew Harrison: 1-12-3-5).

RACE 5: 9 PANNA COTTA   11 ROYAL KITTY   4 HOT MONEY   5 FLOWER SEASON

Preview: PANNA COTTA (9) caught the eye first time out for her new stable. She has drawn a touch wide but the drop in trip should suit. ROYAL KITTY (11) has drawn wide but has useful form over course and distance. Claiming apprentice should help. HOT MONEY (4) has come good of late and can follow up on her last win. FLOWER SEASON (5) caught the eye in her first run for a new stable and can do better here. (Andrew Harrison: 9-11-4-5).

RACE 6: 9 PERFECTLY PUTT   5 COUP DE TETE   1 LAND OF MYSTERY

Preview: PERFECTLY PUTT (9) has not been far back at recent outings. With a 4kg claimer up he carries 48kg which will make him very dangerous. COUP DE TETE (5) needed his last run. Lightly raced he had shown some promise in PE. LAND OF MYSTERY (1) has been rested and has his first run for a new stable. This may be a touch short and he may need the run but one to watch. (Andrew Harrison: 3-9-5-1).

RACE 7: 5 GOLD SEASON   4 MONTANA SKY   10 STRAIGHT SIX   11 TWO OF US

Preview: GOLD SEASON (5) ran way below best n the soft last start. Prior to that he was touched off over course and distance and the poly appears to be his forte. MONTANA SKY (4) goes very well over course and distance. Last run over a mile when favourite may have been just too far. STRAIGHT SIX (10) was a recent maiden winner from a wide draw. Lightly raced, he has shown steady improvement and can follow up. TWO OF US (11) has been in good form of late, Wide draw a concern and a rise in the handicap. (Andrew Harrison: 5-4-10-11).

RACE 8: 1 SOFIA ERIN   4 SILVER DAZZLE   2 HARPER’S DREAM   11 ARCTIC PRINCESS

Preview: SOFIA ERIN (1) ran a cracker on the poly last time out. Has her first run for a new stable but should still be competitive in an open handicap. SILVER DAZZLE (4) returns from a lengthy break but had useful form in good company before that. She may need the run but meets modest opposition. HARPER’S DREAM (2) has not been far back at recent outings and goes well on the synthetic surface. ARCTIC PRINCESS (11) is way better than her last two. Difficult draw but with some luck in running can win it. (Andrew Harrison: 1-4-2-11).

RACE 9: 1 FLY THE COUP   6 LESLIES PATHTOFAME   3 JUSTAGUYTHING   9 WINTER WAVES

Preview: FLY THE COUP (1) is lightly raced but his best recent effort has been on the poly. He takes a big drop in class. LESLIES PATHTOFAME (6) has been runner-up at his last two. He goes well on the poly and can and another win. JUSTAGUYTHING (3) has come to hand of late and should go close in this line-up. WINTER WAVES (9) is a lot better than his last effort. He showed up well in his penultimate start behind the highly thought of Ashford Castle and a repeat of that effort will see him close again. (Andrew Harrison: 1-6-3-9).
