Placed at Ripon on her handicap debut and first outing for David O'Meara, ROGUE STATE returns to maiden company with strong claims and can open her account. Bletchley Pride finished third at Redcar last time and the runner-up has subsequently boosted that form, while Dain Ma Nut In is not out of this if reproducing his placed effort over course and distance in June and is preferred to stablemate Racing Vicar.

This can go the way of MAYOR OF MAGHERA, who has finished strongly over 7f on the last two occasions and stepping up to 1m could be the making of him as he aims to get off the mark on handicap debut. Another to consider is Leicester third Law Degree, who is still 6lb above his last winning mark, while Caledonian Dream looks to build upon a creditable effort over slightly shorter at Beverley last time out.

Jamie's Choice beat Northern Prince to win a classified event at Redcar earlier in the month, but faces tougher opposition back in handicap company and INANNA is preferred. The Acclamation filly finished a creditable third at Ayr on her first outing for Jim Goldie's yard and looks capable of ending a long losing run off her current mark on that evidence. Showboated found only one too good when last seen over course and distance in July and is also noted.

After winning more comfortably than the length and a half distance may suggest over C&D last time, MRS BAGERRAN is fancied to follow up despite the lengthy layoff. Tracy Waggott's charge barely saw another rival on that occasion, and a 5lb rise doesn't appear to be out of her reach. Sixcor is fancied to pose the most significant challenge to the selection after bouncing back to form when scoring over 6f at Ayr earlier this month, while Sound Of Iona isn't easily discounted.

Believe Me Now arrives here on the back of a narrow success over 1m at Ayr earlier this month and she is fancied to be involved once more, but the reopposing REBECCA'S GIRL (second) can reverse that form. Gary Rutherford's filly has since shed her maiden tag, justifying strong market support over 7f at Carlisle, and a 5lb penalty may not halt her progression. Braes Of Doune has seldom run a bad race this term and is also worthy of consideration.

MR STRUTTER caught the eye late when running on to take second over 1m1f at this venue last time and he is capable of going one better. The 10-year-old arrives here on the same mark and that can be exploited. Little Ted won off just 1lb lower over 1m1f here last month and isn't discounted, while Keep Me Stable is also noted.

TRIGGERMAN arrives on the back of a solid third in a slightly higher grade than this over 7f at Haydock earlier this month and, off an unchanged mark, the son of Ribchester looks the one to side with. Queens Road Revue scored over an extended 7f at Beverley recently and she merits a second look, despite a 4lb rise, while Inspiring Speeches is also considered stepping back down to 7f with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Freddy Robinson found only one rival too good over C&D earlier this month and is sure to be popular off an unchanged mark. That said, KINETIC scored with plenty in hand over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last week and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor her in this company. Glasses Up bounced back to form when scoring over 1m2f at Ayr recently and completes the shortlist off 3lb higher.
