This is clearly WHISPERING SPIRIT'S level on the all-weather but she's also run with credit in decent handicaps on turf and, tried in this grade back on a natural surface, is taken to land the spoils. Royal Straight hasn't won for a while but has run well in handicap races and could prove a threat at this level, while Let's Face Facts and Goninodaethat can also be given chances.
Plenty of these arrive here out of sorts, but that can't be said of Royal Straight, who is taken to snap a lengthy losing sequence. Let's Face Facts and Aqua Lad are more interesting than most.

It's possibly worth taking a chance on the veteran TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA, who has won off much higher marks in the past. He seems to have gained a new lease of life of late, going down by just a head at Catterick earlier this month, and can go one better here. Novalist has turned in a string of good efforts this summer but may be in the grip of the handicapper now, while Cayman Fox has claims but needs her best.
Mission Impossible wasn't beaten far in a better handicap than this last time, and can get the better of last month's C&D first and second Distant Sun and Cayman Fox.

Choisan has been placed in six of his nine starts but is starting to appear exposed and looks vulnerable. Brockwell put in a fine effort on his debut when fourth over 7f at York and must be considered, dropped in grade. Preference, however, is for Irish raider GOLDEN HALO. Following a decent introductory effort over 7f at Listowel, the colt missed out by a head at Roscommon but he can go one better with this extra furlong likely to suit.
Brockwell shaped with abundant promise when finishing behind Choisan on his debut at York recently and can turn the tables with that rival now. Golden Halo and Star Date are others that should make their presence felt.

It may pay to stick with LEXINGTON BAY as he chases a quick hat-trick. He's up 4lb for a game 1m6f victory at Haydock but takes a big drop in class and can follow up with a similar effort. Jeu De Vivre has won two of her last four starts but is creeping up the weights, while Gordonsville scored here two years ago and is well weighted, but hasn't won since that success.
Bowdler's Magic will find this easier that the Cesarewitch, but Lexington Bay is a stayer on the up, and can go in again on his first try at 2m. Beat The Shower should give another good account.
Foaled 21 Mar. Successful twice at 5f on good and good to soft ground. Beaten 13l behind Bogart at 50-1 when 15th of 22 on his latest outing at Redcar over 6f (good to firm) earlier this month. Has won at Chester and Catterick this season.

Hard to dismiss any of these but preference is for I'LL BE GOOD, winner of two of his last three starts. He's up in class but won with something in hand at Catterick and might still be open to some improvement, despite the fact he's already had 11 outings. Idler is a progressive sort but carries a 6lb penalty after getting off the mark at Catterick yesterday, while Free Zone has plenty of weight but can't be ruled out with confidence.
Idler didn't need to be at his best to score at Catterick on Tuesday, but this drop in trip should suit, and he can follow up. Progressive I'll Be Good looks his main danger, while Free Zone will find this easier than his previous assignment.

In a wide-open contest it might pay to side with ROTHESAY CHANCER, twice a C&D winner earlier in the year. He's running better than recent form figures would suggest and looks to have been given a good chance by the handicapper. Tongalooma is another in good form but might have too much weight now, while Tadavil appears well weighted but most of his winning form has come over 6f and this trip is on the sharp side nowadays.
Tongalooma and Two Turtle Doves both seemed to get bogged down in heavy going last time and can be expected to bounce back, but Rothesay Chancer caught the eye last time and gets the vote.

After a hat-trick of successes in the summer, including a hurdling win at Perth, SOPRANO has been held twice since, albeit in better company. Dropped to this grade again, he can defy top weight to land the spoils. La Bacouetteuse registered a double in August but was a shade disappointing off this mark at Hamilton last month, while Strikemaster was a game winner at Catterick but only got home by a head and may struggle with another 5lb.
Mighty Whitey has something to find on his Flat form but he's fairly useful over hurdles and could be worth chancing now that he's back up in trip. Soprano and La Bacouetteuse both arrive in form and have to be respected.
