Ed Dunlop's GLOBAL EXCEED came within a length of breaking his duck at Lingfield last time and has shaped like a useful colt so far this term. It is slightly disappointing he is without a victory so fat but that could all change here for the son of Exceed And Excel who was a 200,000 guineas purchase as a yearling. Roses In June hasn't been disgraced in her most recent outings and could be suited by the step up in trip here, while Richard Hannon's filly Shoyd has shown little so far but is another set to improve as she goes up in distance.

James Tate's Royal Parks was slightly disappointing when failing to back up her Haydock win when eighth at Sandown and she will be hoping to bounce back here, while Amandine will be hoping the extra furlong she encounters helps her improve on her third at Leicester last time. Cavatina is an eye-catching debutant representing powerful connections and she requires respect but the vote goes to GOLDEN FOOTSTEPS who caught the eye when flashing home for third over 6f at Newbury and will surely be suited by this step up to 7f.

RAGSTONE VIEW is backed to take the step back up to six furlongs in his stride and follow up his Lingfield victory last time. He was a short-priced favourite that day and is sure to be popular once again as the Requinto colt looks to build on that recent success for handler Richard Hughes. Shaheen represents the biggest danger, however he failed to back up his Redcar win when third last time and doesn't look the most trustworthy, while Elizabeth Bennet started her season well but looks to be on a recovery mission now.

Amenta is likely to benefit for her Chepstow reappearance when she was a likeable second and Roger Charlton's filly is respected here with the talented Kieran Shoemark in the plate. However, Roger Varian's newcomer NATHEER represents powerful connections and with the trainer holding a 26% strike-rate in maidens this term, a chance is taken on her being primed to strike here on the first occasion. First Dance can follow them home.

DANGEROUS ENDS confirmed his effectiveness under these conditions when scoring over C&D last time and is expected to defy a 6lb rise now sporting first-time cheekpieces. Precious Angel has shown ability in maidens and is worth a market check now going handicapping, while Music Lesson has been performing to a high level of consistency lately and should be thereabouts if running to a similar level as to when placed at Chelmsford last time.

C&D winner PLANT POT POWER has been knocking hard on the door of late and is expected to build on his latest third at Chester over an extended 7f now dropping back slightly in trip. Baron Bolt has been eased 2lb for finishing third of six at Yarmouth last month and is now eligible to drop into this weaker grade, while Ower Fly, who carries joint top-weight with the last-named, hinted his turn was approaching when third at HQ last time and could also take a hand.

The booking of Jamie Spencer stands out like a beacon for John Jenkins' KARAM ALBAARI, who has dropped 5lb lower than when scoring at Lingfield in January and could have too much class for his rivals now eased into 0-60 company. Tuolumne Meadows ran creditably in defeat in a turf seller at Lingfield last time and can battle it out for the minor money with Powered, who went down by a length off this mark at Windsor last weekend.
