Falaise Blanc has filled the runner-up spot in three of his last four outings, including here most recently, but the fact he has only won once in his career means he is vulnerable. The vote goes to JEDHI KNIGHT, who also has just the one previous victory on his CV, but has less miles on the clock and took a step in the right direction when second at Pontefract, shaping like the extra furlong will be in his favour. Sophiesticate heads the remainder.

Those who boast form all met at Redcar earlier in the month when GERRY'S DARLING (second) fared best. The daughter of Palace Pier stepped forward nicely from her two starts at Doncaster and can confirm the form with Hey Up Ronnie, who was sent off favourite after showing promise in a York seller. Nosey Book sports cheekpieces and is entitled to progress from his debut, while any market support for newcomer Coul Blue would make him of interest.

BIGALO is turned out quickly after going close on his nursery debut at Catterick last week and Roger Fell's gelding bids to take advantage of the fact he is 3lb well-in on this occasion. Amantha struck in a C&D seller before just being denied at Beverley and another bold bid is expected. Others for the shortlist include Tiger In The Tree and Aurora Valkyrie.

CURIOUS ROVER made all to land the spoils ahead of a subsequent Glorious Goodwood runner-up at Ayr and a 5lb rise may prove to be lenient. The five-year-old took this contest last year and he's fancied to follow up at the main expense of Mighty Magnus, who is racing off the same mark as his latest third at Newmarket. Jer Batt continues to edge down the ratings and cannot be dismissed either.

Misemerald arrives on the back of three creditable efforts in defeat and she's forecast to give another good account. However, the five-year-old may need a bit more to repel the well-in WAIT FOR IT. Liam Bailey's filly is due to go up 2lb after finishing a never-nearer second over 6f at Catterick and this return to 7f looks perfect. Braes Of Doune has received some respite from the assessor and is a feasible alternative.

GALLUS NORMAN only began his racing career as a six-year-old but the son of Telescope has started to make up for lost time, winning twice this season, including most recently at Ayr. Jim Goldie's charge was raised 4lb and is upped in grade, but he's still unexposed as a stayer and might have more in the tank. Inappropriate merits plenty of respect, as does Cascade Hall, while Arrange is another who can't be taken lightly.

The form of THORNABY PEARL's Hamilton success looks extremely strong for the grade given that the runner-up has won twice since, so a 2lb rise is surely lenient with that hindsight. Golden Havana scores highly for consistency and he'd be a deserving winner, as would Peregrine Falcon, who returns to the grass following a host of creditable efforts on synthetic surfaces.
