NOBLE PEACE has won three times at this track in his last four starts, finishing second on the other occasion, and the in-form seven-year-old is hard to oppose this afternoon. Agent Of Fortune (was also engaged to run at Chelmsford on Thursday) is another who brings solid recent form to the table and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Pentimento and Dr Jekyll.

UNFORGIVING MINUTE has won twice in this grade in recent months, including a game victory at Wolverhampton 59 days ago, and a reproduction of that performance would give the nine-year-old a big chance in this contest. Sean Curran's charge was third in the handicap ranks at Wolverhampton on Wednesday and can take advantage of this drop in class. Moon Trouble (was also engaged to run at Chelmsford on Thursday) hit the crossbar when last tried in a claimer and he has to be respected, while Headland cannot be ruled out on his return to action.

From an opening mark of 71, KING'S ADVICE rapidly progressed through the handicap last season and he went on to win a valuable contest at Goodwood in August off 108. When last seen the six-year-old was only narrowly beaten by a 110-rated rival and Mark Johnston's charge has to be given the utmost respect today. Mildenberger, a stablemate of the selection, shouldn't be far away based on his recent efforts at Newcastle and Kempton, while Oriental Eagle merits a market inspection on his debut for these connections.

Nigel Nott won impressively at Chelmsford and looks set for another bold bid, but DANA FOREVER gets the vote, as Tom Dascombe's charge has earned a rating of 72 with a number of solid efforts in defeat and this switch to Polytrack could eke out that extra bit of improvement needed. Autumn Trail suffered a narrow defeat at Wolverhampton last time and is respected, as is Richard Fahey's newcomer Lovers Cry.

EL GHAZWANI has produced his best form over C&D and returned to winning ways when striking off 4lb lower last time out. He is moving back up in grade now but is capable of holding his own off his revised perch. Sky Defender had plenty in hand when scoring over track and trip earlier in the month and has a strong chance off 6lb higher, while Nonios has been cut some slack by the assessor and could figure if building on his recent third at Wolverhampton.

CAFE MILANO took a step in the right direction when third over C&D last time and if running to his official rating of 72, Simon Dow's charge should go very close. The main danger may be Amy Murphy's Alborkan, who similarly appears on an upward curve after picking up the silver medal over 7f here last time. Any money for the returning Andrew Balding inmate Elham Valley would also be notable.

Subliminal has been raised 3lb for scoring by less than a length over C&D earlier this month and should give another good account, though preference is for PILOT WINGS, who won cosily in an apprentice handicap at Wolverhampton on his first start for Tony Carroll last week. The former David Dennis inmate escapes a penalty for that victory so could take all of the beating while 6lb well-in. Dangerous Ends picked up the silver medal over 1m4f here last time and could also figure.
