I'm Your Man, Copper Echo and Montevallo all have something to recommend them. However, the class-dropping HITTING BOMBS should have more to offer after a confidence-boosting success in a deeper race at Gulfstream when last seen and could be hard to overhaul if picking up where he left off.

TALLAHATCHIEBRIDGE wasn't beaten far when second over C&D last month and can go one better with another step forward. Saqeel was a close third in that race and may give the selection plenty to think about. Harold's Cloud also enters calculations based on peak form.

EXPENSIVE CUT has been knocking on the door of late and is presented with a good opportunity to gain a first career success at this particular venue. Kavod and Can't Hush This are a couple of others to seriously consider.

Moringa may be the best of those with racecourse experience, but she is up against some potentially classy newcomers. Mink Stole and Cathcart are both worth noting, but TWO SHARP really looks the part in the mornings and may make a winning debut.

Plenty of these have been competing in far better races recently, including Here's The Spider and Scalable, while Promisemeanempire is consistent at this level and could also have a say. They can all go well but if LEMON MUFFIN, already a Grade 3 winner this year, makes the most of the opportunity, she is difficult to oppose.

In a competitive contest, it may pay to side with ARROWTHEGREAT, who failed to see it out over further in a much better race last time out, but will be far happier over this trip and with these rivals. Santos Dumont, Cooke Creek and Stowaway will all have their supporters.

Having scored in ready fashion in Grade 3 company last time, OTTOMAN FLEET can continue his upward trajectory today. The reopposing Chasing The Crown is feared most, ahead of the consistent Exaulted.

SCYLLA was a decisive winner of a Grade 3 contest last time and she will be difficult to stop today. Shotgun Hottie and Xigera can pick up the pieces should the selection not fire.

FIRST WORLD WAR won a stronger contest than this last time and he is capable of going in again. Agate Road and the unexposed Green Light can also make the frame.

CLOSETHEGAME SUGAR did it well when scoring comfortably here last time out and the step up in trip should eke out further improvement. Hoist The Gold and old rival Tejano Twist can follow him home.

FIRST MISSION has been in excellent form of late and this looks an ideal opportunity to step back up to the top level for Brad Cox's charge. He may have too much for the hat-trick-seeking Skippylongstocking and Kingsbarns.

This can go the way of POOLSIDE WITH SLIM, who bounced back to form with a determined success over this distance at Penn National last time out. Pipsy and Simply In Front look to be her main dangers.
