This will not take a lot of winning and market confidence behind newcomer Invincible Brave would make him of interest, but the verdict goes to JONAH'S CRUISING who won a claimer over 7f at Kempton earlier this month and appears to have a good opportunity to follow up. Real Dandy disappointed on his handicap debut last time but is respected now dropped to this level.

Dome Rocket made a highly promising start to his career at Goodwood earlier this month when his inexperience showed but he still managed to finish a close second. He is very much respected along with Advisor, who was getting the message late on over C&D behind Alanbrooke on his debut. This can go to TILOS GEM who improved considerably for his debut effort to finish a 3-length third in a decent Yarmouth maiden last time. The winner looked useful and the second has since won a maiden by 6 lengths.

Make My Dream is a model of consistency but as a result his mark is 9lb higher than his last win at Windsor in July. Nevertheless he can be expected to go well along with Highland Warrior who racked up a hat-trick in the summer and has run well off his current mark of 71 on his last two outings. With the Milton Bradley stable in their best form for some time the vote goes to CAPE ROYAL who has shown signs of a revival of late and is now 5lb lower than when scoring here in July.

Silent Wonder sets the standard on form with his C&D second to Harry Patch earlier this month and he seems sure to play a leading role, but it could be worth siding with Roger Charlton's well-bred newcomer AFFLUENT. Although he might appreciate an extra furlong or two in time he may just be sharp enough to make his presence felt at the first time of asking. Breakevie also showed promise on debut and could make the frame.

JENNIE JEROME looked a little unfortunate not to win at Leicester last time and has been raised 3lb for finishing third, but with Dane O'Neill replacing an apprentice she could return to winning ways. Rhadegunda went close to completing a hat-trick last time when collared in the closing stages over 1m2f at Newbury. The drop to this trip should suit and she is the main danger. Esoterica has place claims if bouncing back from a below par effort at Ayr last time.

Shamali improved on his debut effort to finish third at Pontefract last time, but he still showed signs of inexperience and with further progress to come he can go close here. CARA'S REQUEST finished runner-up over C&D on only his second start and with further improvement on the cards he can get off the mark receiving 11lb from his main rival due to his southern hemisphere allowance. Supaverdi is an interesting debutante and should not be ignored.

Neon Blue scored for this pilot over this trip at Redcar last time, beating Thornaby Green by a neck. He is 1lb worse off with that rival today and there should, in theory, be nothing between them. Emperor's Well was a further head back in third and is better off with both rivals so he too can play a part. Serena Brotherton is one of the most accomplished jockeys in the race and with her assistance DREAM OF OLWYN gets the nod. She was second over this trip at Pontefract last week and can go one better. Proficiency is an interesting handicap debutante.
