This can go the way of MAHAGONI, who rarely runs a bad race and has been placed in five of his last six outings since winning at Chepstow in June. The selection ran well here back in June when runner-up to the progressive Ever Given, while Morgan Cole's 7lb claim can only serve to enhance his claims. Point Lynas can give the selection most to think about despite remaining a maiden through seven starts. Brighton winner Bolton Abbey is another to consider stepping up in trip.

Mossbawn has gone from strength to strength since returning from a 197-day absence last month and he is a major player as he goes in search of the hat-trick. Preference is for recent C&D winner MUNTADAB, though, who remains very well handicapped on old form, while the booking of Hayley Turner is another positive. Lincoln Park is somewhat of a course specialist and can also have his say.

An impressive winner of a valuable nursery at York, Flaming Rib sets the standard on ratings for last year's winning trainer, but he may have his work cut out giving 12lb and upwards to the rest of the field. The suggestion is the progressive STRAITS OF MOYLE, who has been a late bloomer as a juvenile. Now that the penny has dropped with taking wins at Carlisle and Ayr, there should be much more to come from Richard Fahey's charge. Chelmsford winner Harb is another that makes plenty of appeal.

BARYSHNIKOV has been running well in some strong-looking handicaps this season and he ran another good race at Ripon on his latest outing. If he can perform to that level again he will be a leading contender, while the ultra-consistent Six Strings has been placed in his last seven starts and it would be no surprise to see him in the mix again. Satono Japan disappointed last time but if he can bounce back from that run he may feature as well.

Enfranchise got off the mark at Pontefract and if she can reproduce that performance she will be hard to beat. However, MUJTABA gets the vote after getting his career off to the best possible start when winning emphatically at Chepstow and with more improvement on the cards he is a big player in this contest. Barrister Blaster is another to note as he is related to some classy milers and may be able to make an impression on his debut.

BOOKMARK has stepped up significantly in recent starts and, having impressed when scoring over course and distance last time, the Michael Bell-trained filly looks set to take some stopping as she attempts to land her third successive win. Golden Melody travelled well when finishing a close fourth at Ayr on her latest start and is respected, while Galah has the blinkers fitted now dropping in trip and may also get involved.

The Andrew Balding-trained AURIFEROUS has been running against better company than this recently and, on just his second start at this trip, the three-year-old may be capable of getting off the mark. Fandabidozi has produced a consistent level of form for a while now and looks set to make a bold bid, while Gabrial The One drops in grade and can also feature.
