Hot Hannah is weighted to confirm Musselburgh form with My Cherry Blossom, while Father Mckenzie has been in good order of late and should run well again. However, it might be worth taking a chance on FOUR DRAGONS who was far from disgraced in a stronger race at Chester last time having finished like a train to win at Catterick on her previous start. She remains on the upgrade.

EARTHA KITT made a debut full of promise when a half-length third behind subsequent Listed winner Moonlit Show over this C&D and, with normal improvement expected, she could prove tough to beat. Bombay Dream and Glacier Point also boast some solid form and are respected, although the bigger threat might come from Cashla Bay, a beautifully-bred daughter of Fastnet Rock who cost 220,000 guineas as a yearling.

CLASSIC SENIORITY impressively notched a Chester/Ayr double last month and, although a further 5lb rise will obviously make life more difficult, he might be able to strike again while the iron is hot. Edward Lewis has suffered narrow defeats on his last couple of starts here and is likely to be in the thick of the action again, while Eccleston, a course winner who has rewarded each-way supporters the last twice, adds further spice to the race.

FATHER BERTIE has been running consistently well and produced a career-best performance when winning a class 2 handicap over this trip at Redcar last time. A 5lb rise is fair and he gets the vote to follow up. Raising Sand is another in-form player and Jamie Osborne's gelding has little mileage on the clock. He rates the biggest threat ahead of Jack's Revenge, who flew home over 7f at Epsom and is unlikely to be inconvenienced by stepping back up in trip.

Another Frankel newcomer catches the eye in the shape of WEEKENDER, who hails from one of Juddmonte's most prolific families which includes multiple Group 1 winners and a trio in Dansili, Cacique, and Champs Elysees who have all gone on to make an impact off the track in their careers at stud. John Gosden had a Frankel first-time-out winner for Khallid Abdullah earlier in the week and this looks a case of deja vu. High Commander ran a solid race on debut at Windsor when third behind what appears a decent horse in Adamant, while Materialist looks a nicely-bred individual for Roger Varian who could give a decent account.

DUBAWI PRINCE ran well enough on his debut when seventh behind the promising Adamant at Windsor earlier in the month and this stoutly bred son of Dubawi can show the required improvement needed on his second outing. Nathan Mayer is an interesting newcomer for Sir Michael Stoute who appears to have a promising bunch of juveniles this season, while Eldritch makes some appeal on his debut for powerful connections.

DUSKER ran well in a strong nursery at Glorious Goodwood back in July when sixth behind Final Reckoning and the son of Elusive Quality is of interest stepped up a furlong and off the same mark here. Brogan has shown enough in three starts to suggest a nursery off his current mark of 74 looks more than realistic, especially with his trainer's record at the track, while Heatongrad and Tesko Fella are entitled to be thereabouts.

GLEESE THE DEVIL benefited from the return to 2m when winning in game style at York on Saturday and a 6lb penalty shouldn't prove enough to stop Richard Fahey's individual in what appears to be a weaker contest. Lexi's Boy returns to the scene of his last win and ran well enough on the all-weather at Newcastle last month when runner-up behind Mister Bob, while Injam was below par in the Melrose but is entitled to improve again for the step up in distance.
