VALENTINO SUNRISE produced his best effort to date when a length fourth over this trip at Lingfield and unpunished for that performance, he looks sure to mount a bold bid. Solesmes has been running consistently well, both in this company and at Plating level, and she is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Wolf Hunter and Islay Mist are others to note.

BALLET RED sets a decent standard with her two performances both here and at Windsor, and she could open her account at the third time of asking. Archie Watson has his team in tremendous form so any market support for his unraced daughter of Battle Of Marengo, Meringue, should be noted, while Queen's Soldier and Willkommen are other newcomers to keep an eye on.

Progressive Dawn must enter calculations as she bids to follow up her recent C&D success, but preference is for the returning ENZEMBLE. David Elsworth's charge took giant strides forward from his first to second start last year and he is likely to have strengthened up again during his time away from the track. Boffo also merits consideration following his promising introduction at Lingfield.

APPOINTMENT ONLY lost little in defeat when three-parts of a length third on his first outing for Neil Mullholland over this C&D earlier in the month and, entitled to improve for that comeback run, he is fancied to score off just 3lb higher. Margie's Choice placed here prior to a tame effort at Newmarket and she can be given another chance, while Dream Of Camelot is no forlorn hope off the same mark as when fourth over 7f here.

Fortune And Glory is respected off 5lb higher than when winning over C&D last time, while Oskemen has struck the crossbar on his last couple of starts and is likely to be on the premises again. However, with less miles on the clock, and receiving the vote, is CATOCA. A promising debut fourth here shows that she handles the track, and she looks ready to win following placed efforts at both Yarmouth and Newmarket last month.

RIGHT DIRECTION has done nothing but improve in three starts thus far and impressed when running away with a novice stakes event over this trip at Doncaster last time. Switched to handicap company off a lenient mark of 85, she is fancied to complete the double, possibly at he main expense of John Gosden's class-dropper Fennaan. Flavius Titus ran much better at Goodwood than the bare result suggests and he can't be ruled out returning to a venue he likes.

VEGAS BOY has impressively notched up a turf double at Windsor and Lingfield and, despite a further 4lb rise, the in-form three-year-old is fancied to round off the hat-trick on his all-weather return. Triple C&D scorer Born To Finish has also put a string of solid performances together and he looks sure to be in the mix again, while Wolverhampton winner Kamra adds further spice to the race.

DOCTOR JAZZ impressed when making virtually all of the running on his handicap debut over a similar trip at Windsor and, although a subsequent 6lb rise will obviously make life a lot tougher, he looks capable of following up. Saumur was touched off at a big price at Wolverhampton last time and she can go close again, while Gift Of Raaj is unlikely to be far away either.
