INDIE ROCK posted her best effort to date at Nottingham in July and should reap the rewards of a 67-day break to claim an illusive first victory. The two-year-old has to give 6lb to the field after a decent showing in a plus 10 race at York in July but nursery company should suit Mark Johnston's filly and connections will be disappointed if she cannot go close. Cheerful Character bumped into a couple of potentially smart rivals at Wolverhampton last time out and should find this easier, while Foxy Boy completes the shortlist.

This contest was won by the mightily progressive Orion's Bow last year and although there looks to be nothing of that class in this contest, REFLATION could be the one to follow receiving weight all round. The four-year-old can defy a 6lb penalty for his success here last week having already shown a preference for some cut in the ground. Portland Street remains in fine form and is likely to prove popular in the betting, while Gilmer should relish a drop to this class under promising 7lb claimer Lewis Edmunds.

Not much separates the likely market principals and a narrow vote goes the way of HONEYSUCKLE LIL to claim her first win in over 12 months. The four-year-old shaped with promise at Ayr last week and deserves another chance back over her preferred 6f trip. Rachel Richardson returns to the saddle with her 3lb claim and that could prove to be the difference, with Dutch Mist fancied to pose the biggest danger now wearing a visor for the first time. Posh Bounty's 6lb rise for a recent Ffos Las success is negotiated by Sean Mooney's allowance so a big run from her would be no surprise.

PEPYS looked to have come on plenty for his debut at Beverley earlier this month and the son of Aqlaam could have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark by Bryan Smart. A further step up in trip should suit and the switch to soft ground is not expected to be an issue. Election Day merits respect for a trainer who has claimed this prize five times in the last 10 years, while Golconda Prince is a half-brother to Richard Fahey's flagship star Ribchester and clearly better is expected from him at some point.

Rainbow Rebel looks sure to be popular once again following a hat-trick of wins in recent weeks and a 3lb rise for his win a couple of weeks ago looks to be workable. That said, he can be taken on with CHARACTER ONESIE, who found 7f too sharp for him at Chester last time and is better judged on his win over 1m1f at Yarmouth the time before. Echo Of Lightning finished a place ahead of the selection last time but this extra distance can see that form reversed today.

LARA CARBONARA has a very good record at this track, having made the frame in nine of her 11 visits here, and she looks to be the safe pick in this event. Azzir has the form to make him a player but he does need to prove himself over this marathon trip, while the form of Tamayuz Magic's recent Thirsk win was boosted when the second won at Beverley recently. That makes a 2lb rise for that win look very fair indeed.

It is hard to oppose KNOCKAMANY BENDS following his C&D win at the end of last month, especially as the form was boosted with the second going very close at Ayr last week. An 8lb rise for that success makes life harder for him today but most of his rivals find winning difficult. That includes Lady Wootton, who remains a 16-race maiden but is more than capable of making the frame. Rock Canyon is another who can pick up some place money.
