Roaring Character was third over 7f here in July and improved on that performance when second over 6f at Haydock last time. Another big run could be on the cards, though preference is for the less exposed DOCTOR CROSS, who kept on well in the closing stages over 7f at Musselburgh last time and is expected to improve for this slight step up in trip. Election Day is going the right way and is another to consider.

Tawny Port is respected in his present mood but he's won three handicaps in a row and the assessor will probably catch up with him anytime soon now he is moving up in grade. Of more interest is THOMAS CRANMER, who demonstrated his effectiveness under these conditions when landing a C&D maiden in July and for whom an opening mark of 84 appears workable. His stablemate Morning Suit also merits consideration from a low draw.

VISCOUNT BARFIELD ran well when given plenty to do at York's Ebor meeting and this dual course winner over slightly further has the perfect draw in stall three with Rob Hornby's 3lb claim. Hawatif is inconsistent at times but can be forgiven his recent flop having stumbled coming out of the stalls, while Gabrial The Tiger has proven himself on several occasions at this track, including when winning from stall 10 two starts ago.

PLAYFUL SOUND made it two from two when staying on strongly in a handicap at York back in July and the daughter of Street Cry should have no issues in continuing her unbeaten record. Cote D'Azur went on a winning spree which was ended last time at Beverley but he has to be considered, while Tukhooom should appreciate the step up in distance having appeared to have needed it on his last few starts.

Canonbury and La Celebs Ville set the standard but they have both had plenty of chances and it may be wise to side with a less exposed type in CASABLANCA. The daughter of Cape Blanco took a step forward on her second start and she is fully entitled to find some more improvement today, while the step back in trip should not be a problem for her.

LIFE LESS ORDINARY did not get the best of trips when he was eighth in a very competitive heat at York last month and he can be given another chance to confirm the promise he had shown in his previous few starts. Gabrial's King has a very good record at this track and his rider's valuable 5lb claim should help his chances. Chocala returned from over two years off the track to win over C&D last time and as a result he merits the utmost respect.

Ellaal looks sure to be popular in his bid for a hat-trick, especially as he won so well at Newmarket last time and he is well drawn in stall four. That said, he can be taken on with RALPHY BOY, who is only 3lb above his last winning mark and put up an admirable performance when second at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago. Depth Charge is another to arrive here in fine form.
