KRAKEN POWER needs to bounce back after a disappointing display at Musselburgh last month. The three-year-old gelding has produced some respectable performances this season and gets the vote to resume winning ways here now returning to this shorter distance. Master Zoffany should be at home at this venue after notching up two course wins and is likely to be on the premises again. Mayaas is another to consider if building on his seasonal reappearance at Newbury.

MAJOR JUMBO posted his best run this season when recording a second-placed finish at this course last month. The seven-year-old remains 14lb below his last winning mark and he gets the vote to build on his latest performance here. Militia merits respect after his recent success at Catterick but now faces a tougher assignment upped in grade. Bossipop has been hinting at a return to form and needs to taken seriously after a brace of second-placed efforts at Pontefract and Ripon.

Live In The Dream sets the standard in this contest and should appreciate the ease in grade after recording a seventh-placed finish in a warm race at Doncaster last month. However, a chance is taken on LUCY LULU to take a step forward on her recent fourth-placed effort at this course and she is likely to handle any ease in conditions. Manila Scouse was an eye-catcher on his racecourse debut at Beverley and could be open to further improvement.

COUL QUEEN was successful when last seen at this track in July and, with the removal of the hood and drop in grade looking set to help her cause, she gets the nod. Gometra Ginty posted a career-best performance when winning at Musselburgh last month and should make another bold bid, while Flying West produced one of her best efforts when finishing a close second at Sandown on her latest start and is also worthy of respect.

The William Haggas-trained GAASSEE caught the eye making late headway when finishing third at Lingfield on his debut last month and, entitled to improve for that experience, the son of Sea The Stars makes plenty of appeal. Mind Hunter showed improved form when runner-up at the same track last time and should go well on his first run for this yard, while the newcomer Serena's Symphony is bred to be above average and is also worth noting.

POT OF PAINT's career-best efforts have come on testing ground and the lightly raced four-year-old gets the nod to shed the maiden tag at the 10th time of asking. Nakeeta has been a consistent customer this term and she won't be far away on recent evidence. Madeeh was rated 86 in April and the Philip Kirby-trained gelding must be respected off this low mark.

PRETTY FAIR was unable to figure in Listed company last time out but, considering the daughter of Dubawi won her penultimate outing in similar conditions, she gets the nod to bounce back to form on her handicap bow. Commonsensical has been tough to keep out of the frame this term and he rates the most immediate danger, while Skytree is another to consider.
