Roman Spring was able to bag the favoured stands-side rail and make all at Windsor, but DREAMBIRD DOLLY (second) and Bated Breeze (third) are now 3lb better off with that rival. Dreambird Dolly was actually further behind the former at Lingfield, but she's seemingly better on the grass and it's noteworthy that Rossa Ryan keeps the partnership intact. Those factors earn her the vote this time, although Bated Breeze does have the best draw of the trio.

River Nile sets the standard with an official rating of 74 and should be going close in a contest of this nature. All Shall Be Well made a relatively encouraging debut at Lingfield, and Poor Relation has the ability to figure too, but all eyes will be on James Tate's newcomer GALILEO STAR. The Starman colt was purchased for 135,000 euros at the breeze-ups in June last year and is related to several useful individuals, so it would be no great surprise were he to make an immediate impact.

A chance can be taken on HELLO YOU TEN, who kept to his task well to finish third over 7f in a seller at Salisbury. Stepping up to the mile should suit Jamie Osborne's gelding on his nursery debut, and a mark of 63 looks within his compass. Enhancing is another who could progress for the switch to nurseries, while bottom-weight Allaboutthelunch took a big step forward to fill the runner-up spot at Bath and he merits respect.

Danehill Star supplemented a C&D victory with an impressive display at Bath, but more is required after an 8lb rise. Newfangled produced a good effort when third at Windsor and has to be respected off the same mark, but a chance is given to ALTERITY. She must bounce back from a no-show on her handicap bow at Doncaster, but that effort was too bad to be true and she is much better judged on her maiden success at Ripon.

MISS GUINEVERE has run with credit on both appearances in handicap company and the step up to 1m4f appears likely to yield enough improvement for her to shed the maiden tag at the sixth attempt. Darkest Red has been mostly consistent this season and Jim Boyle's gelding is expected to be in the mix once again, while Bohemian Breeze appeals most of the remainder.

ROYAL COUNTY GLORY has thrived since moving to England, with a runner-up effort at Lingfield backed up by a brace of victories at the same venue. Despite his best form coming on artificial surfaces, he wasn't disgraced when fifth at Fairyhouse in May and the improvement shown gives hope that the son of Cotai Glory can land the hat-trick. Campani has held his form well at Yarmouth and should be competitive along with Shes Got The Blues.

Macanudo arrives seeking a third win on the bounce having benefited from a drop to 5f. The obvious concern is the extra yardage, but another bold bid is expected. The vote, though, goes to NORDIC GLORY, who ran with plenty of credit in a series final at Bath earlier in the month and a 1lb drop further aids his cause. My Mate Mackley completes the shortlist.
