Lady Gibraltar has made notable progress since finishing seventh on debut and despite disappointing favourite backers last time, the 75-rated filly could be worth giving another chance. PRODUCER represents juvenile wizard Richard Hannon and with C&D success already in the book, the daughter of Dutch Art can go from strength to strength. Rooknrasbryripple is beginning to look exposed, while Choisirez might be of particular interest to each-way punters.

The lightly-raced Gentle Lord must make the shortlist in this handicap event and with winning distance form in book, the Tom Dascombe charge looks to have a big run in him off this mark. Another Try sets a decent form standard but must defy the burden of top weight and while C&D winner Baldemar appears to have come back down to what looks a workable mark, STEVIE GEE gets the nod. The Ian Williams representative is likely to be suited by the drop in class and another 1lb better off in the ratings, he looks the each-way value in the race.

Burano arrives here having had the benefit of three starts but while the son of Dalakhani has earned a high rating of 84 in the process, ALBAMARA gets the nod. The stoutly-bred daughter of Galileo represents the in-form Sir Mark Prescott team and despite going against the boys in this maiden contest, she shaped well on debut at Kempton and can benefit from the weight advantage. Dynamic Duo is another here with genuine claims.

Filun has reached the frame in his last seven starts (winning three) and seems sure to be in the thick of the action once again, but SHESHA BEAR could prove difficult to beat from the foot of the weights. She won with plenty in hand over C&D latest and a 7lb rise in the handicap is fair. Dancing Storm, another arriving here on the back of a C&D success, cannot be ruled out.

Silverware showed a likeable attitude when dead-heating for first place at Folkestone last time and warrants respect despite a 3lb rise, but KONSTANTIN edges the vote. This consistent performer produced a career-best performance when scoring over a slightly shorter at Brighton two weeks ago and, just 4lb higher now, he should take some stopping. Ellie In The Pink completed a quickfire double at Goodwood on Sunday and has claims again, providing this doesn't come too soon.

MIRACLE PLAY could prove difficult to beat here from the foot of the weights. This progressive daughter of Singspiel looked a shade unlucky not to follow up a Wolverhampton success at Chepstow recently (met trouble in running) and further improvement may see her defy a 2lb rise. Ermyntrude narrowly missed out over C&D last time and should go close again, while Highlife Dancer is worthy of consideration arriving here in top form.
