LOCHNAVER scored over this trip at Hamilton two starts ago and the daughter of Frankel was not disgraced at the same venue last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts today would give her a big chance. Purple Ice has shown promise on his last couple of starts and he should not be underestimated, while Daaris and Major Snugfit are others to note.

BEYOND REPROACH was only beaten a head into second on his debut at Ayr a month ago and the son of Dandy Man could go one better today with the benefit of that experience. Victoria County cost 60,000 euros at a breeze-up sale earlier in the year and has to be of some interest on his racecourse bow, while Quizlet and Naxos are also noteworthy newcomers.

ALPHA CAPTURE confirmed the promise that he displayed in a valuable sales race at Doncaster when scoring in a Listed event at York last time and he merits the utmost respect this afternoon. That said, Kinta is an obvious threat based on her second to the subsequent Group 1 winner Lezoo at Ascot two starts ago. Shouldvebeenaring edges out Bakeel to be the pick of the remainder.

KIRITIMATI ISLAND comfortably won a similar C&D event last time (second has won since) and a 4lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Balqaa also brings winning track-and-trip form to the table and was touched off here recently. She is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Golden Valour, Key Look, Martin's Brig and Cloch Nua are others to note.

Fast And Loose was touched off in the Bronze Cup at Ayr last time and he is sure to go close with a repeat performance, while Aasser, Runninwild and Tothenines also warrant respect. The vote, however, goes to Tom Tate's EQUIANO SPRINGS. This consistent gelding comfortably justified favouritism at Newmarket latest and he looks capable of defying a 5lb rise in the ratings.

Both Variety Island and Willing To Please arrive in good form and it shouldn't be long before the pair pick some more races up, but they may prove vulnerable to speedier types now dropped in trip. CHEESE THE ONE makes most appeal after landing her second race when winning over C&D last month and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent the Rebecca Menzies inmate from going close in her bid for the hat-trick. Fellow three-year-old My Boy Jack is another to consider after finishing third over this trip at Wolverhampton.

A 4lb rise may prove lenient for BLAZING HOT and the five-year-old could be too hot to handle for his rivals if continuing in the same vein of form since joining the David Brown yard. Sugar Baby appears to be the selection's chief threat, providing the son of Monsieur Bond proves as competitive now returning to the all-weather after a successful stint on the turf, with Impressor another to consider if getting more luck in running after enduring a troubled passage over C&D 11 days ago.

Polam Lane has proved a more consistent proposition since having cheekpieces applied, but the four-year-old may find life tougher now running off a career-high mark due to his latest 5lb rise in the ratings. Red Allure arrives in good form after a successful campaign on the turf, but she is now 11lb higher than when last seen tasting defeat on the all-weather in May. Therefore, a chance is taken on LADY CELIA, whose mark has fallen to 2lb higher than her success at Pontefract in June and recent efforts show the Richard Fahey inmate may be returning to the boil.
