Iggy was all out to hang on at Pontefract last time so the extra furlong and a 6lb penalty might be enough to stop him in his tracks. Rise To Glory bounced back to form at Lingfield last time but that also came over the minimum trip, so the veteran DANCING MAITE gets the vote. Roy Bowring's gelding had been running to some effect over this trip and further on the all-weather and struck over 5f off 4lb lower here last time. Back up in trip, he could strike.

Lady Nayef showed up well at Newmarket last time and appears to be heading the right way, but Sakhee's Jem was ahead of that rival at HQ and was beaten less than a length at Chelmsford despite pulling early on. If she could settle, she looks a major threat, but a chance is taken on SWIRRAL EDGE. David Brown opted to pitch the daughter of Hellvelyn into a competitive heat against the boys on her debut and she showed up well before struggling up the hill. On a flatter track, she could be tough to beat. Tawwaaq is a half-sister to Roger Varian 's smart sprinter Steps, so any market support is worth noting.

BARREESH ran a cracker on his debut to be fourth in a Newmarket maiden last month. With the sixth-placed horse having gone on to score since, the form looks very solid and he can open his account here. Bollihope wasn't too far behind the smart Ooty Hill at Newmarket when last seen and is of interest, while Wheat Sheaf ran well in a Newbury maiden last month and could come on for that reappearance effort.

Stella Etoile pulled nicely clear of a subsequent dual winner when denied by a neck on her Newcastle debut and she could be a threat despite a wide draw, while Althania will start from out wide too, but put in two encouraging efforts on the all-weather last term. Rosslare ran a fair race on her return at Newmarket and has to be considered, but a chance is taken on MELODIOUS being on top form on her return to action. David Elsworth's filly was pitched into a sales race for her debut, but showed more promise when second atr Kempton in October and this extra furlong should bring about improvement.

Atlantic Affair was only collared late at Musselburgh last time, while Ajig stormed home at Brighton, only to find herself a head down at the line. Polar Forest was not far away off this mark at Wetherby, having accounted for Mr Red Clubs at Chelmsford the time before, and could confirm that form. Derulo went close over C&D last time, but was a short head behind ARTFUL PRINCE, who has placed on his last three starts over this C&D and could gain just reward for that consistency here.

Charlie Appleby may not have been as dominant on turf as he had been on the all-weather in the previous few months, but he's still firing in the winners and could have found an ideal opportunity for NO DELUSION to follow up her Lingfield success. Second to subsequent Moyglare winner Cursory Glance on her previous start at Kempton, she look tremendously well treated off a mark of 75 on her handicap bow. Thunder In Myheart ran well for second at Beverley and could come on for that, while Looking Good and Dat Il Do are others to note. Regal Ways is effectively 8lb well-in after being raised by the assessor for her Chelmsford second.

Mister Rockandroll ran well enough for third at Goodwood last time but was made to look a shade one-paced by the winner and if MASTER ZEPHYR produces a similarly strong finish to the one her produced at Bath, he could land the spoils. Roger Charlton's charge seemed to relish the step up to this sort of trip last time and gets another chance off the same mark here. Kisumu didn't look entirely straightforward at Beverley and has a visor to help him here, while My Strategy is interesting if proving as effective on turf as he has been on Chelmsford's Polytrack.
