PLATINUM CHARMER has been knocking on the door of late and could get his head in front this evening following a couple of sound efforts. Market support for Regency Red as he steps back up in trip would be interesting, while Transit is better than he showed last time but he's yet to win on grass. Cumbrian Knight has yet to be placed on turf but isn't ruled out here and Tojoneski has the services of a decent pilot and may be able to improve on the form he's shown so far this year.

A market move for Atlantic Story as he drops into this grade would be of interest but he's best left alone if the money doesn't arrive. BAILIEBOROUGH is just about the pick on official ratings, has an in-form jockey in the plate, is in good form himself and gets the vote. Baby Barry has to be considered but has something to find with the principals and Sawwaah looks a bigger danger following his C&D win in a seller.

The form of AAHAYSON's maiden win is working out well and he wasn't disgraced in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot and may be able to take this off his current mark. Sister Etienne has run respectably on each start and is open to further progress on her first start in a nursery, watch the betting. Minaash didn't seem to handle the tight turns of Chester last time, is capable of better and warrants respect here.

Wicked Wilma is of interest if her recent exertions haven't taken too much out of her but DUROVA sets a fair standard and has done little wrong in defeat behind some useful sorts. Connections look to have found a suitable opportunity for her to get off the mark. The Mick Channon pair are both likely to improve for their debuts and may be best of the remainder.

MEDITATION is difficult to oppose in this form and is taken to complete her hat trick this evening despite her penalty. True Night showed signs of a return to form last time and will be well served by tackling an extra furlong tonight. Stoic Leader and Breaking Shadow both ran good races in defeat last time and can take a hand in the finish here.

BOND BECKS won well at Ayr and may be able to defy his penalty now that he has recaptured his form; he is well treated on the pick of his old form. The veteran Sharp Hat and Strawberry Patch were both behind him that day and may be able to get closer here with a swing in the weights. Lady Bahia looks high enough in the weights following her recent win but is capable of taking a hand in the finish along with Smiddy Hill.
