Several of these have been struggling to find their form of late and with that in mind, BOOK OF LIFE and Thats My Boy Luke are suggested as the pair to focus on. The latter hinted at a revival when third over C&D last month and is notable off 1lb lower. However, the former has shown more consistency this season and won't need to raise his game by much to gain a deserved first win of the campaign. Approaching Dawn and King Sharja are the pick of the remainder.

EXTRAGALACTIC was a promising second on his debut in a novice event at Yarmouth 13 days ago and the relatively quick reappearance suggests connections have him primed for another bold showing. The son of Space Traveller ran green on that occasion but is entitled to be build on the performance. Vegasmile was a short-priced favourite when he was introduced here last month and also looks the type to get better with experience. The attractively-bred newcomer Showcasing Glory is the most intriguing of the rest.

Needin' U is the only one to have been successful in a nursery so far and commands respect on that basis. His experience over C&D is also a positive factor and he must be taken seriously. However, STAR PEOPLE, who represents the same owners, has dropped several hints that he can win races and, as a more wily character, he gets the vote as the pick of the bunch. Royal Strike and Bellatina are others to monitor in the betting.

Yermanthere appreciated underfoot conditions and the return to Ripon when securing a fifth career success. However, the eight-year-old has yet to prove as effective in two outings at this venue and preference is for Beverley runner-up STYLE OF LIFE. The introduction of cheekpieces saw an improved effort that day and a 2lb nudge up in the ratings looks surmountable. Sunriseontheboyne and Motawaared are others of interest.

BLACK STORM gained compensation for some creditable efforts in defeat when landing the spoils at Catterick 26 days ago. That was just his second outing in blinkers and there could be further glory on the cards. Re-opposing third Vince Le Prince subsequently hit the frame over C&D and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of four-time track winner Monhammer.

Jim Goldie will be looking for a better run from York sixth Trojan Sun and as a C&D winner he warrants consideration. Sax Appeal went off too quickly at Southwell and failed to last home but that was a better race and he should be judged on his length third at Newcastle, form which would give him every chance. BOXING GREAT arrives from Ireland after narrow wins at Leopardstown and Down Royal, but he can idle in front and may have more to offer if produced last minute.

Jim Goldie has won two of the last six runnings of this and any market support for Fear And Fast, having his first start since wind surgery, would be of interest. So Grateful failed to fire here last month but finished second on his previous three starts suggesting he has chances of a top-three finish, yet SIXCOR gets the nod. A ten-time winner including last time out at Wolverhampton, he is twice a C&D winner and looks well-drawn in the 11 stall.
