A few of these have been struggling for form in recent weeks and it looks a nice opening for HARD SOLUTION to go one better after his recent Wolverhampton second. The four-year-old has won off higher marks before on turf and won't mind if the ground continues to dry out. Shesadabber was successful twice here earlier in the season and wasn't disgraced when fifth in a competitive event at 17 days ago, while Jessie Allan has dropped to a tempting mark and could outrun her odds.

Vintage Polly was third on her last start for previous connections at Chepstow in June and could find some improvement now in the care of Rebecca Menzies. Thriller's Moon was a career-best second at Lingfield earlier this month and won't mind dropping back to 6f, but this can go the way of Richard Fahey's VENTURA EXPRESS. The Mayson colt started slowly over an insufficient distance at Catterick 12 days ago and should be happier now returned to 6f, so should go close with a more level break on this occasion.

IMRAHOR has shown signs of ability in two career starts for Hugo Palmer, finding just one too good on each occasion, and wouldn't be winning out of turn at the third time of asking. Out of a half-sister to a Group 3 winner, the form of his recent Newmarket run looks to be above average and this appears a nice opening for the three-year-old. Marreyr cost 160,000gns as a yearling and is related to plenty of winners, while Yukon shaped better than the result suggests when fifth on debut at Redcar last month.

KAYEWHYKELLY arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having defied a 12lb rise over C&D at the beginning of the month and the filly appears capable of further progression. Poet's Lady improved from her return when scoring at Haydock in July on her fourth career outing and she enters the reckoning along with Freyja, who showed more when fourth at Newmarket on her latest start.

AYR POET didn't get the clearest of runs when sixth at Ayr on Thursday and Jim Goldie's gelding, who has been in excellent form over the past few months, is taken to make it three victories out of his last four starts. Absolute Dream has been running with credit recently and has to enter calculations, while others to note include Royal Shaheen and recent Windsor scorer Couldn't Could She.

Tim Easterby's string have been in excellent form recently and LIBERTY POWER makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut having shown some promise on his first couple of starts at Thirsk and Pontefract. The application of a tongue-tie might also elicit further progression from the least exposed member of the field. Camile arrives having had wind surgery since she was last seen winning over hurdles at Southwell and she commands plenty of respect along with Reaver, who took a step back in the right direction when second over C&D last time.

RITCHIE STAR returned to form when second over C&D behind Millie The Minx (who has since run disappointingly at Musselburgh) last month and is expected to build on that performance, off an unchanged mark, and find the improvement needed to score. Tattenhams is rated 7lb higher than when winning over track and trip last month but could feasibly play a supporting role, while Amourie picked up minor money off this mark at Musselburgh last time and is another who merits a place on the shortlist.

LADY SCATTERLEY knuckled down well to score over the extended 1m3f at Haydock last time and could appreciate this extra yardage and stiffer track as she bids to shake off a 3lb rise. Roman Stone has undergone wind surgery since bringing up the field over 2m at Musselburgh and could take a hand, though bigger dangers may be recent course winner Viceregent and the consistent Genesius.
