This appears to be a match between the twice-raced pair of Puerto Banus and AMBERSAND with preference going to Richard Fahey's filly. She showed improved form when stepped up to a mile on her return at Thirsk earlier in the month and she can use her proven stamina to her advantage. Puerto Banus has produced two decent performances to date and is the clear form threat, while Hide Your Heart looks best of the remainder in first-time cheekpieces.

BOUNDARY LANE was headed in the dying strides at Haydock last Saturday and, despite a 3lb rise for that short-head defeat, the daughter of Mayson could take a further step forward with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Angel Alexander warrants respect in his search for a hat-trick despite a wide draw, while chances are also given to stable companion She Can Boogie and Global Tango.

MAWAKIB won in good style when appearing to improve for the step up to 7f at Kempton on his most recent start. Roger Varian's colt has a 7lb rise to contend with on this occasion, but appeals as having further scope for progression and can get the better of Jack's Point, who may benefit from a flatter track than Newmarket, and Barristan The Bold, as he is better than what he showed in the Britannia Stakes last week.

RODNEE TEE is better than what he displayed at Beverley last time out and he can be given another chance based on his previous good form and ideal draw in stall one. Dandizette has to be respected following her recent victory at Hamilton, while Sermon and Upstate New York are others who merit consideration in a very competitive contest.

SUPER KID won a similar event over course and distance two weeks ago and a 3lb rise in the ratings for that win may not be enough to stop him from going in again. James Park Woods remains open to improvement and he should not be underestimated, bringing good juvenile form to the table, while Gabrial The One and Paradise Boy also merit consideration.

ANGEL GABRIAL showed he retains plenty of appetite when winning over 2m at Ripon earlier in the month and finishing a close second when dropped to 1m6f at Redcar last weekend. He was runner-up in the 2014 Chester Cup and won't be fazed by the step back up in trip at this venue. Ian Williams' new recruit Noble Behest has won on each of his last five starts but has a 541-day break to overcome. The consistent Iconic Belle could also figure.

UPSTAGING rattled the crossbar at Ayr last weekend and is expected to mount a bold bid, from a low draw, off this 3lb higher perch. Powerallied's last four victories have come at this venue off marks of 75, 83, 81 and 88 so, off a rating of 80, Richard Fahey's six-year-old appears dangerously weighted in stall three. King Robert has been nudged up 1lb for finishing second at Sandown but could also take a hand.
