SPEED THE PLOUGH was disqualified and placed last after his jockey weighed in light following a very encouraging debut second at Bath last week but compensation surely awaits the Richard Hannon-trained Kyllachy colt. His main danger today appears to be Excel's Beauty, who found just a Mick Channon-trained newcomer too strong first time out at Leicester. Alan McCabe is very capable of preparing a juvenile to score at the first attempt and his Celtic Ice is worth monitoring in the market.

STREET ENTERTAINER hasn't raced on the Flat since October 2010 but he's improved markedly over hurdles since, finishing a close-up fifth to Raya Star on his penultimate start at Ascot in November. Last month's Haydock eighth to Barizan in the Swinton Hurdle was a creditable display and he's undeniably well treated back on the level today. Naburn struck at Newcastle in April and bounced back from a disappointing display when third back at Gosforth Park last time, while Tijori and Iguacu are also of note.

Ann Duffield has her string in good order and CHLOE'S DREAM could add to the recent haul. The Clodovil filly produced arguably her best effort yet when narrowly denied in second at Hamilton 10 days ago and she looks sure to be off the mark before too long if the hood and cheekpiece combination keeps working the oracle. Dangerous Age struggled on easy ground at Goodwood but remains open to plenty of improvement, while Rat Catcher looked on the verge of a resurgence when fifth at Catterick recently.

BLANC DE CHINE showed the benefit of her Wolverhampton comeback run when winning on good ground at Lingfield last month and the daughter of Dark Angel could find the necessary further improvement to defy her new (5lb higher) mark. Demora signed off last term with back-to-back wins and only narrowly failed to complete the hat-trick on her Southwell reappearance. She is clearly progressive and rates the main danger, ahead of recent Redcar runner-up Last Sovereign.

This should throw up plenty of subsequent winners but DAWN OF EMPIRE looks the one to be on today. A half-sister to the dam of top-class performers Cityscape and Bated Breath, she made a very pleasing introduction when second to a promising colt over this trip at Newmarket and she could be hard to peg back against her own sex. Tafaaseel shaped with promise first time out at Goodwood, while Close At Hand improved on last year's effort when a close second on last month's reappearance.

An open contest but there is plenty to like about the chances of MIXED MESSAGE, who didn't get home over 1m2f here latest but his close second over 1m1f at Redcar the time before reads well in the context of this race. He won over 1m in February at Southwell off 3lb lower and should give a good account. Not Rigg was knocking on the door over 6f on the all-weather in the winter and is interesting now upped in trip for his handicap bow, while Star Of Mayfair showed enough in defeat at Haydock and Goodwood to suggest to suggest he can go close today.

Up 1lb for his close third at Newcastle in April, SELDOM is well worth another look for Mel Brittain and it is encouraging for his supporters to see Silvestre De Sousa keep the ride. Underfoot conditions will be ideal for the son of Sesaro and he's likely to be doing all his best work late in the day. Yourinthewill bounced back to form when not beaten far in a Leicester seller 13 days ago so he's considered closely, along with Tuesday's Ripon runner-up Honoured.
