DRAGON DREAM has shaped like a different animal since switching to handicap company and Roger Ingram's charge has been found another excellent opportunity to strike. The two-year-old has a decent draw in stall three and could still be ahead of the handicapper despite a 5lb rise. Deleyll is drawn next to the selection and has blinkers applied for the first time, while Restore looks likely to be suited by a return to this course and distance after running a career best here last month.

DAGONET improved nicely on his debut effort at Nottingham last month and was unfortunate not to finish closer than he did in third after being squeezed out by the front two in the closing stages. The son of Sir Prancealot is in good hands and has been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark under George Baker. Aqdameya's recent Leicester debut wasn't devoid of promise and she looks likely to have come on plenty for it after travelling well there, while Nibras Again ran respectably in a Newmarket auction race earlier this month and deserves respect.

SMILEY BAGEL made a promising return to action at Brighton last month for Ed Walker and the three-year-old shaped as though his turn was near. He should have come on plenty for that effort and it is no surprise to see the son of Kyllachy upped in trip and back on the Polytrack after performing well here in April. Hearty can be forgiven a bad run last time out and should appreciate the return of champion jockey Jim Crowley to the saddle, while Purple Raven and Hermarna also merit consideration.

Coolcalmcollected landed her first victory in over a year at Salisbury last week and a 6lb rise is mostly negotiated by the promising claimer George Wood and his 5lb claim. The four-year-old didn't look like the most obvious type to follow up, though, and preference instead is for Rod Millman's EUGENIC. The five-year-old should enjoy the drop back in trip to 1m and is just 2lb above his last winning mark. Barista ran well here earlier this month on his first Polytrack start since April 2014 and should have come on plenty for that experience.

BAZZAT was more impressive than ever when landing a second consecutive victory here last week and John Ryan's charge rates as the one to beat once more now chasing the hat-trick. The three-year-old remains open to further improvement on this surface and a 6lb rise looks fair considering his fine form. Outlaw Torn is interesting having his first try at this venue at the age of seven and it will be interesting to see if Richard Guest's charge handles the Polytrack, while Purple Party has been going well lately and also enters calculations.

CURRICULUM got off the mark in fair style last time out despite losing his right fore shoe and warrants major respect for William Haggas off an opening handicap mark of 78. The three-year-old comes from a decent family and could be capable of accounting for the in-form Cryptic, who arrives here chasing a hat-trick after two impressive victories at the Surrey track. Mountain Rescue was given a peach of a ride by James Doyle when winning here four weeks ago and should give another bold account.

Archie Watson is yet to saddle a winner since beginning his training career but the booking of Jim Crowley on RIDE THE LIGHTNING suggests that Lambourn's latest recruit must fancy the three-year-old to take advantage of a low handicap mark. The son of Dalakhani showed a good attitude to finish third at Wolverhampton recently and should relish this slight drop in trip. Bamako Du Chatelet has been dropped 2lb since another disappointing turf effort last time out and could do better now back on this surface, while Longside is a consistent type who is perfectly drawn in stall one.

James Fanshawe enjoyed an excellent weekend with his first UK Group 1 victory of the season and HE'S MY BOY can make it a successful few days for the Newmarket-based handler. The selection won with a bit in hand here earlier this month and a 5lb rise might not be enough to prevent the follow up under Tom Queally. Classic Pursuit returned to form at Redcar recently over the minimum sprint distance and he should appreciate a return to 6f after finishing strongly at the Teesside venue, while Roman Holiday remains unexposed and has to be rated as a serious threat.
