FALAKEYAH opened her account with the minimum of fuss
winning by a wide margin on her racecourse debut at Wolverhampton last November
Wasn’t completely fluid or fluent with her galloping
suggesting there could be an improvement with another winter on her back
she’s going to take a big jump forward this season
ANTHELIA was well on top come the finish at Bath 30 days ago
suggesting she could be well up to carrying the extra 5lbs against three unraced rivals
but is bound to be much more streetwise this time
Picked up for 30k at the horses in training sale
ALNAYEF is the only one in this lineup who has a big ticket to improve on his fourth start and his first try in a handicap
does incredibly well with this type and is going to carry a featherweight in jockey Amie Waugh around the twists and turns up in Scotland
Gets one last roll of the dice to prove that the ground was to blame for a dismal effort last time
a quicker surface looks exactly what’s needed for the smooth-moving gelding
The more galloping nature of this venue should also help him get up into that relentless rhythm

Guides point out some of the thousands of marks around church – but stories behind many of them remain elusive
You don’t notice them at first. The eyes tend to be drawn to the grander wonders – the altars, the stained glass, the pillars and flowing arches. But once the marks carved into the stonework of Salisbury Cathedral by centuries of pilgrims
churchgoers and mischief-makers are pointed out
A “graffiti tour” of the great Wiltshire church is being launched in May with guides pointing out what feel like whispered messages from the past
from initials of people long-forgotten to images of animals and flowers and “protection marks” thought to keep evil at bay
There is also a piece of backwards writing that some think may be a curse

Photograph: Ben Birchall/PAA team of volunteers have spent a year finding and mapping the graffiti
and experts have tried to pin down some of the stories behind it
but the reality is that most of the tales they could tell remain elusive
“We know so much about other parts of the cathedral
for example the stained glass windows – when they were made
who designed them and so on – but we can’t know everything about the graffiti
worked in and known the cathedral through the centuries and left their marks
We can speculate in some instances and try to understand the lives of people back then but we can’t know everything.”
“It’s exciting to spot things that may not have been seen for years
And then we can debate what they mean,” she said
The Guardian was given a preview of the tour
starting with a couple of footprints close to the west doors
placed their footwear on a hunk of limestone supporting a pillar and carved around their footprints
with the initials “JG” and “WS” next to them

curvy style of writing has been dated to the 17th century and
the cathedral thinks it may have been created by a man called Nicholas Gilberd
who was having a row with the authorities over boundaries
At the bottom of a letter to the cathedral
In the south quire aisle there is a collection of lines and dots
It is possible that members of a medieval choir carved a long-lost tune here as they waited to sing
Close by is a piece of medieval Latin text
difficult to decipher but the cathedral thinks it may be a curse because some of it is written backwards
it could also be that this wasn’t a very good writer
There is a gaming board in the morning chapel and the guides like to imagine medieval priests sitting down to while away a few minutes in a quiet corner

One of Mangan’s favourites is a bird and the creator has cleverly used a triangular natural break in the stone for its beak
The cathedral is not suggesting modern visitors follow suit
attitudes seem to have been much more accepting
Marks are often found in very public areas
suggesting they were both accepted and acceptable.”

believed to have been carved by mourning relatives of people who may not have been commemorated elsewhere
“When we look around the cathedral and see memorials to the rich and famous
we rarely get a glimpse of the ordinary folk,” she said

WAISTCOAT got off the mark in good style for Dylan Cunha at Leicester last week when coming late on the scene
and with a similar scenario in the offing here he can follow up in this amateurs contest
Course winner Under Curfew gained his latest win at Wolverhampton in February and is respected back on turf
while Beau Jardine has gone well fresh and is interesting with his last two wins coming over this course and distance
ANTHELIA was a decisive winner from short-priced favourite Canyouhearthedrums when making a winning debut by two and a half lengths at Bath last month
so Rod Millman’s filly is taken to defy a penalty up against three newcomers
It’s likely this novice will develop into a straight fight between EL MATADOR and Sea Baaeed
with the former taken to make the most of the 7 lb he receives from his rival
Ralph Beckett’s colt shaped very well when going down fighting by half a length to Falconer in a maiden at Nottingham on his only start last year whilst pulling clear of the rest
Sea Baaeed won at Wolverhampton on his only two-year-old but was beaten in better company at Newmarket on his return
GOLD CUP DAY made a promising debut for William Haggas at Newbury last month
seemingly getting the hang of things late on when taking fifth behind Furthur
He’s entitled to improve for that experience and can get off the mark at the second attempt over this extra furlong
Ralph Beckett’s Bull Run was the most expensive of the four interesting newcomers and may prove next best ahead of Triple Gee who might be the pick of the Andrew Balding pair
A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for Dylan Cunha’s WANNABEAWALLABY to build on his second at Bath last month and get off the mark from near the foot of the weights
figures on a lenient mark and could emerge as the chief threat
although Ray’s The One and Fram Castle
