Ayutthaya has enjoyed front-running in two career efforts so far and would be dangerous if allowed an easy lead, while Book Of Dreams handles cut in the ground but does have to give plenty of weight away to this opposition. GABRIAL THE SAINT has invaluable past course experience on testing ground, and this step up in distance from stall one can see Richard Fahey's charge shed the maiden tag before moving onto better things.

A number of these look to have chances, so DARK DEVIL receives what can only be a tentative vote. Richard Fahey's gelding ticks all the right boxes - winning course form, goes on soft ground and well drawn - and he seems sure to go close under Jack Garritty. Dark Intention is another who likes it here and the four-year-old produced a career-best performance when scoring readily at York last time. She merits consideration, while Luis Vaz De Torres, Be Kool and, right at the foot of the weights, Gabrial The Tiger are a few more with claims.

A tricky race but a chance can be taken with GABRIAL'S KAKA, who is 6lb better off with Bahama Moon from their meeting here a couple of weeks ago and gets the added benefit of his rider's valuable 7lb claim. Alexander M and Mutamaded are other in-form participants who warrant the utmost respect, while Itsakindamagic should not be completely discounted this afternoon.

IT DONT COME EASY takes the eye now dropped in class having last been sighted running well in Group Three company at Glorious Goodwood. Stablemate Zap is another to make appeal on recent form, while the well-drawn Collingham Park is worth considering returning from a good break since flopping badly when last seen at Pontefract in July.

TAMIH has shown a solid level on form on his three outings to date on the all-weather and it would prove disappointing if the son of Dark Angel couldn't get off the mark at the fourth attempt. Ebqaa ran with promise on her second outing here earlier in the month and is entitled to improve on what she has achieved so far. Mr Slicker can win the battle for third.

LIQUID GOLD looked to have plenty left under the bonnet when shedding her maiden tag at Beverley last time out and could have more to offer off 5lb higher. The daughter of Nathaniel has long been held in high regard at Richard Fahey's and could account for Marsh Pride, who returned to form here in similar conditions two weeks ago. Caravela remains open to improvement and is bred to relish this step up in trip.

KAJAKI deserved his C&D victory a couple of weeks ago because it followed a series of second-placed finishes. A 5lb rise in the ratings seems to be very fair given the manner of that success. Arty Campbell and Brandon Castle have to be shortlisted following recent wins, while Angel Gabrial could reward each-way support despite the wide draw out in stall 12.
