BEAU DUKE left his Newbury debut performance well behind when fifth over an extended 6f at Salisbury 22 days ago and, likely to improve further for this step up in trip, he could make it third time lucky. Lone Foot Laddie was less than 2-lengths behind the selection that day (finishing seventh) and warrants respect while Stereotypical, a racecourse debutant representing the stable who won this race two years ago, cannot be ruled out.

Daneside has made the frame in each of his five starts so far this year (winning one) and seems sure to be in the thick of things once again, but ADELINA PATTI edges the vote. Walter Swinburn's filly has been knocking on the door recently and the form of her latest second at Brighton has since taken a boost with the third winning since. Lakota Ghost has progressed nicely on the all-weather this year and could figure prominently on his turf debut.

It could pay to side with ELLIES IMAGE here. Recent win and placed efforts at Doncaster and Carlisle respectively indicate that she's currently at the top of her game and Jimmy Fortune is an interesting jockey booking today. Timpanist arguably produced a career best performance when third at Epsom last time and she should go close if in the same mood here while, from the opposite end of the weights, Farmers Dream makes plenty of appeal.

NOVABRIDGE could deliver the goods here. He is two from two in this company and produced his best effort for some time when third over 6f at Folkestone most recently. Could It Be Magic comes out top on official ratings and should be in the shake-up but, yet to strike in 23 starts, he's difficult to promote as the likely winner while Barista wouldn't be without a chance if putting his best foot forward.

LUCKY MEADOWS is fancied to land the spoils on her handicap debut today. She stepped up on a couple of solid third placed efforts when landing her maiden over 7f at Lingfield in March and an opening mark of 72 looks fair. Swift Breeze wasn't disgraced on her seasonal reappearance at Kempton 18 days ago and is entitled to strip fitter now while Yarmouth winner Mrs Greeley is another who cannot be left out of calculations.

Full Shilling arrives here in sparkling form and looks worthy of a place on any shortlist, but COLOURBEARER could have her measure. The Milton Bradley-trained gelding, who has narrowly missed out on his last two visits here, looked better than ever when striking over 5f at Southwell last time and a 6lb penalty is unlikely to be enough to stop him if in the same mood again. Memphis Man is another to consider after his close second at Goodwood on Sunday.

LADYDOLLY can open her account today. She responded positively to the application of blinkers (worn again today) when runner-up over 5f at Southwell last time and a repeat performance is sure to see him in the shake-up. Madam Isshe has been running well in defeat recently and should give another good account, while Griffin Point rates a lively outsider after getting within a length of breaking her duck over C&D latest.
