SYMBOL OF HOPE boasts a fine record at this venue, as displayed once more when making all on his return earlier in the month, and he looks the one to beat off only 4lb higher. Delagate The Lady found the drop to 6f to her liking when scoring at Yarmouth last month and she's feared most off 5lb more in the ratings. The in-form duo of Shesadabber and Diamond Cottage complete the shortlist.

There was plenty to like about HAATEM's third-placed finish on his debut at Goodwood recently and he looks a big player based on that evidence. Adaay To Win could prove the chief danger of the remaining rivals who have raced. That said, a bigger threat could emerge from one of the newcomers in Big Brown Bear and Anglesey Lad, who both require a check in the market.

WEDGEWOOD readily completed a hat-trick at Wolverhampton on Friday and a 6lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop Tony Carroll's filly judged on her current form. The returning Cluedo makes her handicap debut off what looks a fair mark and the daughter of Kodiac may have more to offer this season. Smasher recorded his first placed effort at Chelmsford in April and makes most appeal of the remainder.

Dovena benefitted from a drop in class when winning at Brighton 15 days ago, but she's 6lb higher in a deeper race today and, though respected, a chance is taken on GALILAEUS. The gelded son of Galileo was only fourth when sent off a warm favourite on his handicap debut earlier this month. However, with first-time blinkers applied it would be no surprise were he to take a step forward. Damascus Steel is another to consider.

Beryl Burton continues to run well in defeat and she merits consideration, as does Millions Memories, who would hold every chance if able to build on his recent Brighton third. However, the vote goes to BLUE HERO. A three-time course winner, he was second in the corresponding event last year off 6lb higher, so Adrian Wintle's charge looks handicapped to go one better today.

In an open event, it might be worth taking a chance on SILVER BUBBLE. Gay Kelleway's charge was progressive last year, winning four times, with the latest of her victories coming from a 2lb lower mark. She's been well held on her last two starts, but with Saffie Osborne back aboard (won on her three times), it would be no surprise to see an improved effort. Others to note include Lhebayeb and Mc'ted.

PINK LILY was beaten a length last time at Salisbury on her return to action and her mark is unchanged for that effort, which is likely to put her bang there at the finish here. The main threat looks to be the last-time-out winner Hourless, who is only 2lb higher for that success at Wolverhampton and warrants plenty of respect. Greek Giant and Spare Rib are also both worthy of consideration.

Obama Army (second) and Brabusach (third) renew rivalry from Wetherby last time, where the former can confirm that form. However, preference is for RACING DEMON, who has filled the runner-up spot on each of his last three outings and he has only been raised 2lb in the ratings for all of those efforts combined, which is likely to give him every chance of going one better.
