Nezami is one of the more exposed runners in this maiden but his form has a solid look about it and he seems sure to be in the firing line. But he has something to find with MON PLAISIR on Newmarket running and, as that was his debut, the John Dunlop colt has more scope. Billion Dollar Kid failed to justify favouritism at Warwick but shouldn't be written off just yet.

YOUNG BERTIE has raised his game since returning to the turf and should be able to take advantage of his current mark before much longer. Arctic Desert got going too late in a seller here eight days ago but this is tougher and just as interesting is Charlie Delta, who failed to get a run at Wolverhampton last week.

Jamie Spencer is an interesting booking for MY TIGER LILLY, who has her sights lowered and will be suited by a return to sprinting. Foreland Sands has been knocking on the door in similar company on the all-weather, while the Robin Bastiman pair Tuscan Flyer and Valiant Romeo are capable enough at this level.

Mansii looked unlucky at Ripon last time but his future probably lies in handicaps and, along with Bath winner Mesmerize Me, he'll probably be doing well here to give weight to KEEP DISCOVERING. By the brilliant Oasis Dream out of a winning miler, Godolphin's newcomer is potentially useful. Clifton Four will improve on her debut and is another to consider.

Loch Verdi has claims on her fourth at Doncaster last month, while Bluebok can confirm Chester running with Misaro on slightly worse terms. But the vote goes to MATSUNOSUKE, who did well to finish second at Sandown last time after missing the break - he looks to be on good terms with himself at the moment. Malapropism could reward each-way support.

LAPINA has been put up 3lbs for finishing second at Yarmouth but may still be good enough to score in this company as he appears to hold Tonnante on earlier form. Sumner should strip fitter for his Ripon sixth and could go well, but Iolanthe looks one to be wary of nowadays and Up In Arms' Newbury win amounts to little.

A market move for Postsprofit would be highly significant as he's undoubtedly well handicapped on his best form. Billy One Punch has been knocking on the door but continues to climb the weights and has to give 12lbs to FANTASY CRUSADER. He gained reward for a string of solid efforts by winning at Kempton last week and is only 3lbs higher here.
