The versatile TROUBLE SHOOTER is unbeaten in three starts and the three-year-old should have no issue dropping back to 1m4f as he looks to extend his winning run off a 3lb higher mark. Chica Buena finished third when looking for back-to-back victories at Musselburgh last time and remains feasibly treated, lurking at the foot of the handicap. Vibrance returns to the assessed ranks off a 2lb lower mark than when a runner-up in this sphere at Kempton on her penultimate start, while Wadacre Galoubet is only 1lb higher than when running with credit at Chelmsford last month.

The step up to 1m4f should suit GOOD TIDINGS, having looked strong at the finish when getting off the mark at Lingfield last time, and the 115,000-euro buy rates as the one to beat here. The consistent Final Orders was third in that contest and is likely to fill a podium spot once again, while Goobinator shaped nicely over 7f on debut and could have lots more in the locker.

Tulip Fields has made the podium on all three outings so far and could prove popular having looked like this distance suited when third at Haydock last time. Red Line Alexander placed on debut at Ascot and could have more to come, while the Oasis Dream filly Eventful shaped with much more encouragement on her second start at Beverley and has to be respected. However, preference is for John Gosden' Lope De Vega newcomer TIEMPO VUELA, who comes from a family of top-level winners on her dam's side and is likely to appreciate this all-weather test.

GRACE NOTE turned in her best effort yet over this trip in a novice contest at Brighton last month and is one who could thrive now switching to nurseries for Archie Watson. Idoapologise was well in control at the line when scoring at Thirsk last time and his extra furlong could be of benefit to him as he bids to defy a 6lb rise. There is likely better to come from Guipure and Bryn Du, while this looks a more realistic assignment for Bendy Spirit, who ran in a competitive sales race at the Curragh last time. Breck's Selection will likely appreciate dropping back from 1m and is also noted.

FOXY FOREVER lost little in defeat when beaten by a length over this trip at Wolverhampton last time and has strong claims of gaining compensation while racing off the same mark. C&D winner Royal Brave took a step in the right direction when third at Musselburgh last time out and can fight it out for the places with Canford Bay, a consistent performer who is rated only 1lb higher than when winning on turf at Chester in June.

Brother McGonagall won in gritty fashion at Musselburgh and should remain competitive off this 4lb higher mark, while Eligible has been running consistently well for a number of months and merits shortlist inclusion. The vote, however, goes to ALNADIR, who had been knocking on the door prior to a horrible-looking fall at Chelmsford. Providing that nasty experience hasn't dented his confidence, he should go very close.

GHATHANFAR ran out a comfortable winner over C&D last month and, although a 7lb rise will obviously make life tougher, he gets the vote to follow up. Castle Quarter, sporting first-time blinkers, went down by half a length in a similar track-and-trip event latest and he is likely to be in the mix again, while Sharp Talk, Termonator, Ascended and Northernpowerhouse add further spice to a competitive finale.
