Unless the Richard Fahey-trained newcomer Steve Prescott posts an above-average performance first time out, this looks a good opportunity for MUMFORD, who was well supported when making a promising introductory fourth at Leicester, tracking the early pace before weakening late in soft ground. Dropped a furlong in trip on a livelier surface, he can open his account. Poolstock and Soft Love both failed to beat a rival home on debut, although the first-named's race has worked out exceptionally well, and that pair should fare better with time.

A number hold claims in an open renewal, but narrow preference is for ANGEL WAY, who suggested her turn was near when a one-and-a-quarter-length second at Salisbury, and she looks well treated off an unchanged mark. Jamboree Girl has disappointed in the face of two stiff tasks this term but remains well handicapped on her juvenile exploits, while Where The Boys Are is worthy of respect.

Irish raider Zeftan was unfortunate not to finish closer at Cork having met trouble at a crucial stage, and market support for the five-year-old would need taking seriously. However, SKYTRAIN looks to have been crying out for the return to faster ground, with his Ayr effort easily excused and his penultimate Chester third suggested he remained at the top of his game. Off only 1lb higher than when scoring on the all-weather in April, Mark Johnston's charge can regain the winning thread, with Postscript and Kingscroft likely each-way sorts if rediscovering their best.

One-time Derby entry DESERT SOCIETY wasn't seen to best effect in soft ground as a juvenile, but he is bred to be an improved performer at three, and a mark of 79 could underestimate his ability on his seasonal reappearance. Sbraase stays further and would hold claims if ridden more prominently than when finishing third at Yarmouth, but the main threat might emerge from Voyageofdiscovery, who has plied his trade creditably in maiden company and is a likely improver now handicapping, particularly on fast ground (by Henrythenavigator).

TAQNEEN left the form of his Newcastle debut well behind when finishing a neck second at Yarmouth, splitting a promising newcomer and an Ed Dunlop charge with useful prior form, and a reproduction of that effort ought to prove sufficient in this company. Alketios and Protected both shaped promisingly on their second starts at Nottingham and Musselburgh respectively, and they look best placed to capitalise should the selection run below par.

Shankly has been highly touted since his Salisbury maiden success last September, finishing well held in the Group 1 Criterium De Saint-Cloud before occupying last spot behind subsequent Derby sixth Western Hymn at Sandown. He is of obvious interest on handicap debut in the first-time hood, but preference is for EMAAD, who was well supported when a close third at Lingfield and is of interest back on turf off only 1lb higher. Mustamir boasts each-way claims.
