LAKE VOLTA ran a big race behind the thriving Flaming Spear at Goodwood seven days ago, and Mark Johnston's charge can build on that effort here from a nice draw in stall two, A mark of 101 doesn't seem too high and, with Franny Norton aboard, the pair can account for stablemate and recent York scorer, Poet's Society. Shady Mccoy caught the eye at the Shergar Cup meeting when second last time and is also noted.

DROGON found the Group 2 Vintage Stakes too hot to handle at Goodwood last time, but Tom Dascombe's charge previously looked progressive and could bounce back to winning ways under Hayley Turner from a good draw. Mordred represents a handler with a good record with juveniles here, and finished ahead of the selection in that aforementioned Goodwood contest four weeks ago, though he was a little below-par at Newmarket last week. Navigate By Stars looks best of the remainder.

DURETTO boasts the best form on offer after finishing third in the Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket last time, and it is also worth noting that Andrew Balding's charge won a Listed race here on easy ground 12 months ago. Here And Now once beat Triple Crown winner Stradivarius at this track and he did the job well in handicap company at York last month, while Hochfeld was fourth in that latter contest and arrives here on more favourable terms.

LIGHT MY FIRE is unbeaten in both starts to date and made all the running when defying a penalty at Wolverhampton in July. She looks capable of taking another step forward on what she has achieved so far, and can get the better of Glass Slippers, a winner on her third outing at Beverley. Chapelli should also run well dropping out of Pattern company for the first time since mid-June.

POWERALLIED took this prize 12 months ago off an 8lb lower mark, but his form since has been very consistent and he returned to winning ways over a similar trip here at the end of July. Trainer Richard Fahey keeps the weights down with Growl, third in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon a fortnight ago, and a second win in the contest looks very realistic. Copper Knight is unbeaten in two course appearances and is respected, along with the veteran Confessional.

Hawaam shaped with promise on his first start for Roger Fell when fourth at York last Saturday behind Eeh Bah Gum, but he has a poor draw in stall eight to contend with. Little Boy Blue arrives in fine form having won his last two but will find life tougher off 5lb higher. Preference, therefore, goes to GABRIAL THE DEVIL, who made all over 6f at Hamilton last time and looks set to do similar from the inside stall.

PROJECT BLUEBOOK has been threatening to land a decent prize over hurdles, but returns to the Flat where he is down to a mark he can prove more than capable of getting back to winning ways off. Master Archer is a consistent performer despite not getting his head in front all that often, and he can go close once again, along with Royal Flag, who has placed on his last two outings.
