OLYMPIC CONQUEROR seems to save his best performances for the all-weather but has performed creditably in defeat at Chester and Ripon the last twice. With that in mind, it is difficult to envisage anything but a bold showing from the four-year-old, who must still be well treated off 76. Dreamweaver won on his only previous start at the track (C&D) and is another to take seriously, while Songkran would be no surprise winner either.

MY UKULELE escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices' handicap at Hamilton 11 days ago and should take some beating given she's 6lb well-in. Lightly raced on all-weather and clearly on good terms with herself at present, she can get the better of I Can't Remember, who won well here last time and should have more to offer. The market should tell us more about Breakfast on his return and Ambassador is also noted.

AL SUIL EILE was running well at Southwell earlier in the year and it is very interesting that John Quinn has booked Cieren Fallon on his return from an absence. That would suggest connections are fairly confident he's fit enough to do himself justice and he's rated only 2lb higher than when scoring on the Fibresand in January. Model Guest has been knocking on the door and must enter calculations, while Defence Treaty and Insurplus should also finish thereabouts.

EBNZAIDOON displayed signs of greenness when third on his debut at Sandown last month and John Gosden's colt is open to plenty of improvement with that outing under his belt. North Of Amazing wasn't completely disgraced on his debut in a valuable sales race at Doncaster and he is entitled to benefit from stepping up in distance, while Carn A Chlamain and newcomer Leopardo are feared most.

IRIS BUD ran on well when third on her racecourse debut at Chelmsford last month and the daughter of War Front can take the step forward required to get of the mark. Paycheck shaped as though the step up to a mile would aid her cause when a beaten favourite here last time, while At Ease comes from a US family and makes considerable appeal for leading connections on her first outing.

THE MACKEM TORPEDO has been gradually improving of late and his course second last week suggested the four-year-old isn't far away from getting his head in front for the first time. Dark Devil has been knocking on the door recently and is likely to be in the mix along with The Retriever, whose most recent effort saw him finish second over C&D.

SCOTS SONNET went down by a neck over 1m2f here last time and could mount a bold bid now cutting back in trip. G For Gabrial ran on well into second over 1m1f at Hamilton last time and could be keeping on strongly in the closing stages. The pick of the remainder may be Najib and Splash Of Verve, both of whom are capable of playing supporting roles.

BUNIANN was defeated by a short-head over 6f at Redcar last time and may be able to gain compensation, despite racing off a higher all-weather mark, now dropping back in trip. Lady Nectar is a model of consistency and could be difficult to keep out of the frame. The likes of Be Proud, Young Tiger and Astrozone are all proven under conditions and are others who merit consideration.
