GINGER GOOSE found only one too good on his Doncaster debut last month and although the race has yet to throw up any subsequent winners, the third home, Lewisham, franked the form in no uncertain terms with a cracking effort behind Alhebayeb in the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket. Richard Fahey's colt is entitled to come on for his introductory outing and can see off Ayr third Nordikhab and the slightly more exposed Fraserburgh.

COLONEL MAK is handicapped up to the hilt off his current mark of 104 but he remains in good heart and, just below Group class, these conditions races probably offer his best opportunities at present. Things have gone badly awry for Victoire De Lyphar since his Ayr Gold Cup second to Redford in September 2010 but a small field here could help him get back to some sort of form. Three-year-old Muaamara receives 10lb from the selection and must be respected judged on his Goodwood success three starts ago.

Mawaqeet should be winning a race of this nature based on his excellent second to the highly-regarded Trade Commissioner at Sandown in May but last month's sluggish third at Bath wasn't to the same standard and connections now reach for the visor. Roc De Prince was far too keen on his debut at Doncaster and it was to his credit that he ultimately filled the runner-up spot, but SIR QUINTIN is preferred. The gelded son of Dixie Union has demonstrated a decent level of form in 10f outings at Sandown and Salisbury and the move up in distance today is expected to unlock further improvement.

Eric Alston looks to have his string in good shape and KING OF PARADISE can complete a hat-trick of course wins. He defied a 5lb rise for his handicap debut success when scoring on soft ground here at the start of the month and, although another 6lb hike will make life tougher, the three-year-old clearly gets on well with claiming rider Jason Hart. Irish raider Lady Jock could have got in lightly here on the back of a creditable second in a 15-runner Curragh maiden last month, while I'm Super Too and Botham are also on the radar.

ALBAMARA was making her first start since finishing last in the Fillies' Mile when third to the smart Great Heavens at Newbury and with the extra furlong likely to suit the daughter of Galileo here, she could land the spoils. Goldoni finished in front of Ed De Gas at Lingfield and wasn't disgraced in the Tercentenary Stakes, but the main danger could be Bahrain Trophy runner-up Naseem Alyasmeen, who excelled on the easy surface at HQ last time.

The penalised three-year-old Economic Crisis stands out at the head of the weights but this looks a shade tougher than the C&D contest he readily landed last weekend so preference is for ALPHA TAURI. All four of his career wins have come over 7f at Southwell but he shaped like a drop to the minimum trip would suit when second over 6f here at the start of the month, and again when occupying the same position at Southwell on Tuesday. Sharp Shoes should also be on the premises.

LORD FRANKLIN stepped up on all previous form when second to Oddysey over 7f at Ayr earlier in the month and the winner has given the form a reasonable look by going very close at the same track on Monday. The selection was out of the handicap last time so is effectively competing off a 1lb lower mark now and he looks handicapped to strike under Luke Morris. Well Bank, Sweet Liberta and Poontoon are all worth monitoring in the betting on their first appearances in the handicap division, but Sweetnessandlight and Hikma are more obvious dangers.
