A really tricky opener in which it could pay to take a chance on LIBERTIA. She has failed to make the frame in a couple of sprint maidens but showed a bit more when fourth over 6f at Bath last time and the much longer trip today could play into her hands. Calormen is also taking a marked step up in distance but he has shown promise over shorter, while Simmons could figure if settling and Brand Bob is not out of it either.
Knox Overstreet will be interesting on debut for Mick Channon after a gamble went astray on him last time, but Brand Bob has the best form on offer and may do even better at this trip, so must be the selection. Neytiri looks third best.

Foaled 16 Apr. Half-brother to Violette, won four times at 5f and 6f including a Group 3 race.
Parlour Games might be worth another chance to prove his latest Newcastle run all wrong but marginal preference is for BENIDORM. He put a moderate Kempton effort behind him when fourth over 7f at Catterick recently and this stiffer test of stamina looks sure to suit. Conjuror's Bluff is heading the right way and must be feared, while strong market support for Ittirad or Spifer would have to be taken seriously.
Conjuror's Bluff progressed nicely from debut when third at Bath recently and another stride forward can see him open his account this time. Parlour Games is a danger if putting a dismal effort last time behind him, while the newcomers Ittirad and Spifer are worth monitoring in the betting.

Saeed bin Suroor's remarkable track record makes Jamr impossible to ignore but ACADEMY sets a good standard on his debut second at Newmarket on day one of the Cambridgeshire meeting. Providing he's progressed since that run, the Derby-entered son of Montjeu can get off the mark today. Charles Camoin looks next best of those with experience and he could be capable of further improvement.
Academy was a big eyecatcher on debut, and it will be a surprise if he fails to go one better here. Charles Camoin should be hard to keep out of the 3 this time.

CAPTAIN ROYALE bounced back from a poor run on bottomless ground at Newcastle when scoring at Pontefract the following day earlier this month and although hit with a 6lb penalty for that latest win, he could take some pegging back if able to dominate from his favourably high draw. Milton Of Campsie returns from a layoff but holds major claims if returning where she left off in July, while Whiskey Junction and Sharpened Edge are others to consider.
Bedloe's Island has now shaped well on 2 of his 3 starts this year, so he looks a sporting bet in a competitive handicap. He may have most to fear from Sir Geoffrey and Make My Dream.

COTTON KING stepped up significantly on his maiden form when winning a Wolverhampton handicap over 1m4f last month and he looks just the type to keep improving with experience. After getting up in the shadow of the post at the Dunstall Park venue, he is likely to relish this longer trip and a 3lb higher mark doesn't appear too harsh. Vertueux had valid excuses with his tack at Brighton and had been progressing nicely prior to that. He rates a danger, along with Dart, Warne's Way and Southwell scorer Short Supply.
Cotton King and Starshine are both unexposed types who could have more to offer and are possibly the pair to focus on in a wide-open affair, with the former just given the nod. Petella is better than her last 2 efforts suggest and could also figure.

SPINNING hasn't won on turf since June 2008 but David Barron's gelding has scored five times on the all-weather since then and found only Amethyst Dawn half-a-length too good over 7f at Newcastle last time. He has the beating of Lord Aeryn on a line through the former and the return to 1m is a major plus. Ken's Girl remains in fine heart and looks sure to run well again, despite another rise in the ratings. Harriet's Girl and South Cape are others of interest.
Both Naddwah and Lord Aeryn remain handicappers with potential, but last year's winner South Cape ran a screamer in a warm Ascot handicap last month, and he seems certain to give a good account.

COLOUR SCHEME had the reopposing Point North a couple of places behind when finishing fourth at Windsor last time and that first outing since his debut second at Newbury in April is entitled to have brought him on. His stable is in fine form and it could be a case of third time lucky for him. The main dangers are Chiefdom Prince and Fama Mac, with the latter feared most following a much-improved second over 7f at Newcastle last time.
Sir Michael Stoute boasts a cracking strike rate at this track and Chiefdom Prince did enough on debut at Newmarket in April to suggest there would be better things to come. Colour Scheme and Point North also enter calculations in what looks to all intents and purposes a three-cornered contest.

BOLLIN FREDDIE supplemented his Beverley win in June with a ready C&D success just a week later and although not seen since, he should take plenty of beating if resuming in a similar mood. Dean Iarracht is another seeking a hat-trick and showed a likable attitude at Redcar last time, while Dragon Slayer landed the corresponding race 12 months ago and, having slipped back to a similar handicap mark, must be respected accordingly.
The last 2 winners of this return, and 2009 scorer Dragon Slayer can't be discounted, but he'll need to be right back to his best to cope with the flourishing Dean Iarracht and Kenyan Cat, with the latter marginally preferred.
