A small field but that won't bother connections of VICTOR CEE, who arrives with the best form after a third at Newcastle was followed by a second at Beverley, both over 5f. Running on late last time without really threatening the winner, he finished clear of the third and could appreciate the step up in trip. Starspangledbanner colt Hasbro Market might be his biggest danger, despite a lack of experience, followed by Go Lockers Go.

CHICO MAGNIFICA missed the start at Doncaster on his only start but was spotted making up ground late on to run into fourth, albeit over eight lengths behind the winner. If he learns from that and gets away on level terms, he may prove hard to beat. Jim Goldie is in among the winners, suggesting Gallus Norman could do better here, while newcomer Orphan Ollie is bred for the trip as a son of Harzand and is another to take seriously.

Jim Goldie has won two of the three runnings of this race and he will hope to do so again with a trio headed by Spanish Hustle, who has won here six times. He can go well, but needs a career best off this mark and the younger SPIRIT OF JURA is preferred. Three victories from four starts this year prove the Charlie Johnston-trained filly is progressive and she may be able to make all. 2023 winner Two Auld Pals and Tafsir might battle it out for the minor placing.

CLASSY AL has won three of his last five starts and comes here chasing a hat-trick so it's easy to see why he'll prove popular. Two of those victories have come over C&D and jockey Lauren Young won on him at Ayr two starts ago, so everything points to another bold showing from this in-form sprinter. Others to note include Arctic Voyage and Grandlad.

Recent form certainly points towards HURT YOU NEVER, who won over C&D in June and was again on the scoresheet at Nottingham last time. She scored with something up her sleeve that day and is difficult to get away from on that evidence, although Good Point should give it a good go following his improved third at Musselburgh. Street Life can beat Never Dark for third.

INANNA arrives at the top of her game having completed a double with last month's C&D success. Jim Goldie's mare has been raised a further 3lb, but can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice's allowance taken into account and the hat-trick beckons. Stablemate Ayr Poet also won here three weeks ago and could land a blow, while Pisanello may bounce back at any time off his current mark.

Dwindling Funds won over a longer trip at Ayr earlier in the week and is not out of it with Lauren Young's allowance negating a penalty, but GEMINI MAN may edge affairs. He scored over C&D on his penultimate start and is only 2lb higher on his return to this venue. Weegeebear posted a better effort when second at Pontefract on his first start for his new trainer and could shape well again.
