The introduction of blinkers saw an improved performance from Pontefract third STAR WITH PURPOSE and this could prove a suitable opportunity for him to open his account. Although Stoneacre Joe would prove a live threat on the pick of his form, his latest fourth at Catterick leaves him with a bit to find. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Tide Runner, who offered something to work with on his opening third at Beverley.

Having supplemented his third at Windsor with a triumph on soft ground at Lingfield recently, Fans Favourite merits serious consideration in his follow-up bid. However, quicker conditions demand more of the three-year-old, with OFF SPIN a shade more appealing. Tim Easterby's inmate arrives on the back of hitting the frame at Pontefract and this galloping track may play to his strengths. Shifter completes the shortlist.

The Gay Blade continued his resurgence when completing a Carlisle double and isn't easily dismissed in his current fettle. That said, a 4lb penalty demands another career-best performance, with fellow hat-trick seeker GLORIOUS KITTY fancied to capitalise. The Easterbys' filly has really hit her stride of late and won't be inconvenienced by a return to this venue having scored here on her penultimate outing. Ashen and Black Storm are others of interest.

Most of these have claims, but it is hard to oppose STAR CAST. The four-year-old scored by seven lengths at Chester a week ago and is 3lb well-in, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. Sanafi Zabeel also won on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Pol Roger and Obito are others with strong form claims.

Approaching Dawn has to be respected following his Musselburgh success earlier in the month, but marginal preference is for HUNTERIAN. Charlie Johnston's colt was only beaten a neck into second at Hamilton last week and he can race off the same mark, leaving him 2lb well-in. Mayor Of Maghera appreciated the return to the Flat when third last time and is another to consider.

GALLUS NORMAN holds strong claims back at this lower level and reverting to a longer trip. Jim Goldie's seven-year-old won nicely over 2m at Musselburgh prior to placing at Hamilton and there should be more to come from the lightly-raced son of Telescope. Newcastle third Ned Broy steps up in distance with a shout. He could fight it out for the minor money with the consistent Fleur De Mer.

Wind surgery appeared to work the oracle for NALA THE LIONESS in classified company at Windsor. The daughter of Roaring Lion finally opened her account with a convincing success and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to anchor her. Desert Quest has been in the mix of late and has every chance on these terms, while Hamilton runner-up Falaise Blanc could also make his presence felt.
