Le Toreador won in gritty fashion at Redcar latest and is unlikely to go down without a fight, while Stoneacre Pat is another with claims on the back of his recent Wolverhampton success, but a chance is taken on ORPEN'S ART. He ran really well when second at Newmarket ten days ago and can be forgiven Saturday's below par effort at Lingfield as, unusually, he completely missed the break.

CASTING COUCH stayed on well when fourth on her debut over an extended 5f at Bath last month and, with further improvement expected, she could take some stopping over this longer trip. Black Nun represents a yard that are more than capable of getting their newcomer's ready and could be worth a second look in the betting market, along with her stablemate, Lady Cottingham.

The Richard Hannon-trained LUSH finished with a wet sail when narrowly missing out over an extended 1m2f at Newbury last time and gets the vote to lose her maiden tag here. Armure looks sure to mount a bold bid providing she arrives fully wound-up for her return, while Stormy View is another that cannot be ruled out with any confidence.

BENFLEET BOY appeared to have plenty left in the tank when scoring by 2-lengths over 7f at Folkestone latest and, with this step up in trip not a concern, she can defy a 5lb rise in the weights and follow up. Ocean Legend has yet to finish out of the frame in five starts this term (winning once) and looks sure to go close once again, while Hasty Retreat is another for the short-list.

IRISH QUEST wasn't granted much luck in-running when fifth over 1m6f at Sandown latest and could take the beating granted a trouble-free run over this longer distance. Hippodrome arrives fit from a recent stint over timber and could prove a leading player on his return to the level, while C&D winner Salute is another worthy of consideration.

TRIPOD MOLLY was mightily impressive when bolting up over this trip at Lingfield four days ago and, although a 6lb penalty is sure to make life tougher, she remains hard to oppose. South Wales has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings and may have to play second fiddle once again, while Dancing Dik is another in with a shout.

Kevin Ryan's WESTPORT lost little in defeat when second over this trip at Ripon last time and gets a tentative vote in what looks a particularly open affair. Forced Upon Us appears to be in the form of his life at present and can get involved where it matters most of all, while Dvinsky looks set to run his usual solid race.
