KOMORKIS hasn't been disgraced on a couple of occasions this season and a 2lb drop for her recent fourth at Carlisle might be enough to see her back in the winner's enclosure. Thornaby Pearl looks sure to force the pace and is expected to be competitive, while Forever Noah went close at Southwell last time and he appeals most of the remainder.

Pearl Grace has an excellent pedigree, being out of a Yorkshire Oaks winner, but a wide draw in stall 10 tempers enthusiasm. With that in mind, the vote goes to COUSIN RACHEL. The daughter of Postponed comes from a decent family and may well be up to making a winning start to her racing career. Others to consider include Consultation and Black Cuillin.

ANALOGICAL has returned in excellent form this campaign, with a brace of victories at Newcastle and Catterick backed up with a string of consistent efforts. The son of Ulysses went up 2lb for his latest victory and he doesn't appear to have reached his ceiling yet. Something benefited from cheekpieces being reapplied when scoring at Ripon last time and he commands plenty of respect, along with Say What You See.

It's hard to get away from the hat-trick seeking LARAVIE, who won comfortably at Catterick on her latest outing. Off just a 6lb higher rating, she is very much the one to beat. Lady Phoebe failed to supplement her course success when only fourth at Newcastle, but she isn't one to write off back at this venue. Zimmerman completes the shortlist.

SEVENTY was just touched off when attempting to complete a double at Windsor on his most recent start and goes off the same mark. This looks a winnable contest and he could make it two wins from his last three appearances. Shimmering Sands competes off a workable rating on his return to action and needs considering, while Princess Niyla is another to keep a close eye on.

Daytona Lady occupied the runner-up berth at Wolverhampton last week and should mount a bold bid from her plumb draw in stall one. C&D winner Fiscal Policy is another to watch, but it may pay to side with CALL ME BETTY. The daughter of Sands Of Mali regained the winning thread when making all at Carlisle last month and can follow up.
