STARDOM GLORY brings solid form to the table having found only one too good at York in both starts so far. The son of Starspangledbanner came up against a Godolphin hotpot last time and should find life easier in this company. The Dancing Pirate posted an improved effort at Beverley and this extra yardage may bring further progress, while Deputy Vice is not totally discounted on last month's debut third here.

EAGLE BAY made an impressive debut for Harriet Bethell's yard when landing a maiden in fine style at Thirsk. He beat a subsequent handicap winner by five lengths and is taken to defy a penalty on the strength of that form. El Nay was narrowly denied when attempting to make all at Leicester. He holds every chance back down slightly in trip and should have the measure of both Remi Mae and Albemagic.

SOLAR ACLAIM returned the ready winner over the minimum trip at Hamilton recently. He remains on a workable mark, despite an 8lb hike, and another bold bid is anticipated having struck over C&D around this time last summer. Last month's York scorer Dark Thirty is no forlorn hope in this lower grade, while Purest Time did it nicely at Windsor and could also land a blow. Rosenpur and Ruby's Angel are recent winners here and are others to note.

Circe kept Magic Basma more than a length at bay, with La Brodeuse fourth, when landing a Listed event at Musselburgh and there is no obvious reason why that form should be reversed, even on the revised terms. Bellarchi has progressed well in handicap company and has earned a shot at this sort of prize, but COPACABANA SANDS struck at Group 3 level when trained in Ireland and is fancied to derive the necessary benefit from her return at Lingfield last month.

Start Me Up struck by just under a length over 6f here and holds an obvious chance in his bid to follow up, but it may pay to side with ASTRAZAR. Ed Walker's gelding was never dangerous when seventh in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle last month, but he goes off a 2lb lower mark and will find this easier. Handicap debutant Bright Summer is one to watch in the betting.

Winged One was beaten seven lengths by a subsequent winner over track and trip and may get closer off a 2lb lower rating. However, CITY QUEEN made it two from three in handicap company at Sandown and this step up in trip promises to unlock further improvement. Off just a 5lb higher figure, she looks the one to beat. Likealot won readily at Lingfield when last seen and isn't ruled out either.

Shipshape has to be respected having won three of his last four starts, finishing a neck second on the other occasion, but improvement is required to defy a further hike of 4lb. With that in mind, preference is for CURRAN, who narrowly beat a subsequent winner over 1m6f at Bath earlier in the month and a 2lb rise appears to be very fair. Solar Pass is another likely to be in the mix.

RELENTLESS HERO put in a career best when winning a Lingfield maiden three weeks ago and that performance suggests that a mark of 72 should be workable on his handicap debut. Taritino built on a narrow Bath defeat when scoring at Salisbury and another good run looks likely, while Percy Jones edges out Triple Force and Oman to be the pick of the remainder.
