COMEDY NIGHT is officially rated 77 and rates the one to beat if building on his narrow defeat over this trip at Thirsk last time. Love On The Rocks is closely matched with the selection on official figures and is the one expected to put up most resistance. The pick of the remainder may be Florencio, who is entitled to build on his debut fourth at Lingfield now he has a run under his belt.

Top Cop has been knocking hard on the door of late and is expected to finish on the premises. However, it might be worth chancing that VALMINA can capitalise on a 3lb drop and the switch back to 5f sparking some improvement as he bids to improve on his latest effort at Windsor. Burnt Cream is another grade-dropper to monitor closely in the betting as she's racing off her last winning mark and is also a C&D winner.

NORA BATTY wasn't beaten far by Halling's Wish when staying on into second over 1m6f at Salisbury last time and may be able to avenge that one-length beating now she's granted this stiffer test and reopposing her conqueror on 6lb better terms this evening. C&D winner Noor Al Haya is 3lb higher than when scoring over 2m at Lingfield last month and is also expected to be in the shake-up.

ALL FOR THE BEST landed a maiden handicap over 1m5f here two starts ago before turning in a disappointing effort over a longer trip at Chester last time. However, it is hoped this drop in trip and the fitting of blinkers, which replace the ckeepieces worn last time, could spark some improvement from Sir Mark Prescott's charge. Dylan's Storm and Saumur both step up in trip and are considered the main dangers.

Merritt Island will no doubt attract support on the back of her victory over the extended mile at Nottingham and could improve for this stiffer test as she bids to defy a penalty. However, it might be worth taking a chance on KASTINI now he's eased sharply in grade after running in four class 3 races. He found only handicap blot Collaboration too good at Windsor the last time he competed at 0-75 level. Shalimah could also figure now fitted with a first-time visor.

LETTUCE SNOW took a clear forward step when third over 1m at Bath last time out and is expected to step up on that effort now tackling this longer trip. The fitting of a first-time hood could assist Michael Bell's handicap debutant Storytale, who has been handicapped on his form over 6f to 7f and could be an altogether different proposition now granted a stamina test. Brighton second Gamesters Lad completes the shortlist.

GROUNDWORKER went down by half a length off this mark over this trip at Lingfield last time out and should go close with a repeat of that effort this evening. The main danger may be Noverre To Go, who was thwarted by a neck off this mark at Salisbury last time. Both Silverrica and Mambo Spirit are C&D winners and have something to recommend them, with the latter particularly interesting after his three-length romp here latest.
