HERSIGH was disappointing when last seen at Newmarket last month over 1m1f but it could just be that the daughter of Poet's Voice is much better running on the all-weather. A return to that surface combined with first-time cheekpieces, a drop back in distance, and Josephine Gordon's 3lb claim makes her look the most attractive option. Sans Souci Bay got off the mark at Chelmsford having improved for the extra furlong on handicap debut and a 4lb rise seems fair for the son of Medicean, while Sparkle is open to improvement on nursery debut with an eye-catching booking of Adam Kirby.

DON'T BLAME ME has been an improved horse on his last couple of starts at Kempton and, despite being drawn in the car park in stall 12, the son of Captain Gerrard should be able to get across and continue his progressive run. Kindly has a much better position in stall two and has been knocking on the door with two seconds at Wolverhampton, while Gung Ho Jack is entitled to improve for his recent effort when third at Chelmsford.

TEAM MEETING doesn't need to run to a particularly high figure to get off the mark on his debut in what looks to be a particularly modest event. The son of Exceed And Excel comes from a decent sprinting family and it would be disappointing were he not able to beat these. Abundant Courage has shown solid enough form for this level so far and would have a chance on his fourth at Kempton in September, while Gnaad is entitled to improve for his debut and for the drop back down a furlong.

FARANDINE was below par when last seen at Newmarket behind subsequent Listed winner Muffri'ha in a handicap early last month but the daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar is clearly better than that effort and the step up to 1m2f could just bring about further improvement. Alinstante has been off the track for over a year but was considered good enough to tackle a Group 3 on her last start at Chantilly, while Indulged should benefit from both the drop back down in distance and George Wood's 5lb claim.

RUN TO THE HILLS was disappointing when last seen at Ayr but can be forgiven that effort and remains one that could still be ahead of the assessor. In The Red hasn't progressed as hoped from his return at Leicester but he may just improve for the first-time blinkers on his all-weather debut, while Major Crispies bounced back with a solid effort when runner-up at Kempton last month and should give another decent account.

Dream Of Summer warrants plenty of respect following his decisive Kempton success, while Golden Wedding is another in-form player who is unlikely to be far away. It could, however, pay to side with the top-rated PASSING STAR. Charles Hills' inmate caught the eye when a fast-finishing third in a class 3 handicap over 7f at Chelmsford last time and he is fancied to play a leading role with the combination of dropping in grade and stepping up in trip likely to help.

BRODIE stepped up on her pleasing debut performance when one and three-quarter lengths fourth over this trip at Kempton and, with further improvement on the cards, she could make it third time lucky. Statuesque has slightly more experience with four runs under her belt and has certainly shown enough to suggest that she can go close, while Adalene is no forlorn hope if recapturing the form of her fourth-placed effort at Salisbury two starts ago.

Difficult to be too confident about any of these and TRENDING receives what can only be a tentative vote. He is the top-rated performer in this line-up (alongside Artistic Flight), bounced back from a disappointing Ffos Las effort when not beaten far at Kempton last time and should appreciate returning to the scene of his last two career wins. Bamako Du Chatelet drops down to class 6 company for the first time since winning here in May and he merits consideration, while Maria's Choice wouldn't be without a chance if putting his best foot forward.
