SKYTRAIN left behind a moderate debut effort when beaten two lengths into third over 5f at Wolverhampton latest. Mark Johnston's charge needs to prove himself on the forecast slower ground but appears the most likely winner. Keep The Dream drops back in trip on the back of two fair 6f efforts on polytrack at Kempton and can battle it out with the eased-in-grade Sand And Deliver (last of 10 in the Molecamb) for second.

BURNHAM has been raised 1lb for a near miss over 1m4f at Leicester earlier in the month but is expected to improve for this stiffer test and gets the vote under Richard Hughes. Luca Cumani's Twelve Strings is evidently not one of the stable's leading lights but showed enough in a 0-75 event at Newcastle last time to think he could make his presence felt at this level. Jalors and Stunning View also have viable place claims.

GOLD SHOW failed to justify joint-favouritism when third here last month but has been dropped 2lb subsequently. She showed she handles slow ground when breaking her maiden over 1m at Ffos Las previously and may improve for the return to this longer trip. The 67-rated John Gosden representative Merry Jaunt can battle it out with recent C&D second Elsie Bay and Wolverhampton runner-up Boonga Roogeta for the minor placings.

MARIA LETIZIA ran her best race to date when finishing a staying-on third over 1m6f at Salisbury earlier in the month. This stiffer test promises to unlock further improvement and John Gosden's filly is taken to exploit a subsequent drop in the weights to score. Petaluma is admirably consistent and has place claims along with Annaluna, who recently scored over hurdles and runs off an attractive-looking Flat mark.

EDGED OUT has steadily improved with each run to date and helps set the form standard based on her last-time-out course third in a 5f novices' contest. She's earned an official rating of 75 as a result and if running to anything like that mark over this extra furlong, she'll land the spoils. French Press may improve for this drop in trip and heads the list of dangers from Shore Step, who could improve with the benefit of a run now behind him.

GLADIATRIX continues on an upward curve and completed a four-timer when landing a 0-85 sprint here last time. Rod Millman's filly has clearly relished slow ground in recent months and, also a previous C&D winner, she is difficult to oppose dropping back down in grade, albeit off 9lb higher. Gull Rock has gone up 3lb for winning over this trip at Leicester earlier in the month and heads the list of dangers from the consistent Rambo Will.

MOTHER JONES is 4lb higher than when striking over 5f at Brighton last month but showed when landing minor money on the all-weather subsequently that she's still fairly weighted. With the booking of Richard Hughes notable for the David Evans yard, she shades the vote ahead of recent Leicester second Represent and penalised Wolverhampton scorer Ryedale Dancer. Divine Call remains on a good mark but is difficult to catch right.

BALLINARGH GIRL looks to be coming back to the boil judging by some promising recent efforts on the all-weather and, after finding herself outpaced over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, she is expected to improve for this extra furlong, while also being fitted with a first-time visor. Dreams Of Glory is another for whom the extra furlong looks ideal and he can battle it out for the minor money with Jawim.
