The relatively unexposed MY MACHO MAN is 5lb and upwards ahead of these rivals on official figures and sports first-time cheekpieces on his first start at plating level. If getting home over this trip (first start beyond 1m2f), he could prove tough to beat. Euro Implosion brings winning C&D form to the table and he is respected, as is Splinter, who outran long odds at Haydock last time.

UGO GREGORY has impressively notched a 7f double at Ayr and despite having to shoulder a 5lb penalty for the latest of those wins, he might be able to complete the hat-trick. La Voix Magique is just 2lb higher than when narrowly defeated at Thirsk latest and she merits consideration equipped with first-time cheekpieces, while Kentuckyconnection and Grace And Virtue are other names to note.

This represents a fantastic opportunity for DANZENO to regain the winning thread. A top rating of 105 makes him best treated at these weights, he is a C&D winner and has been in cracking form recently. Makanah faces no easy task conceding weight all round, but he also likes it here and will appreciate the drop down from Listed company. Soldier's Minute also merits respect if taking his place after running at York on Saturday.

GALE FORCE MAYA certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn, having placed on her last six outings, and the application of first-time cheekpieces could be the key to success here. Northernpowerhouse wouldn't be the most consistent, but he arrives following a creditable fourth-placed effort in the Ayr Silver Cup and could figure prominently off the same mark. I Am A Dreamer and Marshal Dan are others to watch out for.

BLACK FRIDAY showed plenty of speed when winning over 6f at Ayr last time and a 5lb penalty might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Primo's Comet ran well in a 0-90 handicap over C&D latest (would have finished closer but for a troubled passage) and he is one for the shortlist, as is recent Ripon scorer Pavers Pride.

Ventura Flame won comfortably at Hamilton last time and warrants plenty of respect off this 5lb higher mark, but ROYAL BRAVE shades the verdict in receipt of 8lb. Rebecca Bastiman's charge is a five-time C&D winner and will arrive full of confidence following a determined victory at Catterick last week. Somewhere Secret has also been in excellent form and makes up the shortlist.

NORTHERN SOCIETY ran out a comfortable winner over C&D last time and, although a 6lb rise in the ratings will obviously make life tougher, she is fancied to complete the double. Mansfield's recent form is encouraging and he shouldn't be far away at the business end of the race, while Jorvik Prince also merits consideration following two solid runner-up efforts on the all-weather.

DREAMSELLER is enjoying a successful year and made it four career wins when producing a career-best performance over 1m here last time. Stretching out in trip is likely to suit and he could defy a 5lb rise. Rosemay wasn't beaten all that far at Newcastle latest and was successful here only three starts ago. She is one to consider, as is handicap debutant Finally Mine.
