BARWELL BRIDGE stepped up significantly on his debut effort when runner-up over this trip at Great Leighs and, with further progress likely, he can lose his maiden tag at the third time of asking. Kings Destiny has shown enough promise in previous starts to suggest that he can go close here, while Albaasha could be another worth monitoring in the betting market on his first taste of competitive action.

Zero Cool lost little in defeat when third over 1m at this venue latest and seems sure to be in the firing line once again, but hat-trick seeking SABRE LIGHT is the confident selection. He has shown plenty of heart on his two latest victories and sets the standard for all of today's rivals to aim at. Nawamees is much better than his recent form suggests and is another that cannot be ruled out with any confidence.

The Richard Hannon-trained FORMULA bumped into a useful sort when runner-up over this track and trip and is fancied to go one better today. Charlie Smirke has crept into the frame on his last three starts and seems sure to be thereabouts once again, while Green Dynasty is another that cannot be left out of calculations on his racecourse debut for a leading yard.

Diamond Twister went down by a narrow margin when second over this trip at Kempton recently and seems sure to make his presence felt here, but JOE CASTER is picked to complete the double. He was fairly impressive when landing a similar prize at Great Leighs latest and can defy a 6lb penalty with the minimum amount of fuss. Noverre To Go has reached the frame on each of his three starts and looks best of the remaining pair.

INTERNATIONALDEBUT stayed on strongly when landing the spoils over 6f here last week and, with this step up in trip not a concern, he will be strongly fancied to defy a 6lb penalty and complete the hat-trick. Visions Of Johanna has yet to put in a bad performance and seems sure to make his presence felt here, while Premier Danseur is another that warrants respect off bottom-weight.

Many in with chances here and CORNUS gets the tentative vote. He produced a gallant effort in defeat when second in a competitive field at Doncaster latest and a repeat performance could well be good enough. Everybody Knows won in workmanlike fashion at Folkestone last time but should go well again despite a 4lb higher mark, while Carmenero has been running well in defeat recently and is another with solid place credentials.

Gary Moore's SIGN OF THE CROSS certainly wasn't stopping when scoring by 3 1/4-lengths over 1m2f at Kempton three weeks ago and, with this extra 2f not a concern, he gets the nod to follow up. Alsadaa was by no means disgraced when fourth in a competetive hurdle at Ascot last time and seems sure to mount a bold bid on his return to the Flat, while top-weighted Sam Lord looks best of the rest.
