Richard Fahey's HARRISON GEORGE made a very promising racecourse debut when narrowly beaten at Newcastle in June. He is entitled to have improved for that experience and looks sure to mount a bold bid. Tadalavil ran another creditable race at Yarmouth nine days ago following his promising debut and looks sure to be in the firing line, while Jaconet finished third on her first outing in public despite running green and could make the frame.

ZABOUGG stepped up on his promising debut to finish a close fourth at Redcar latest. He showed signs of greenness on that occasion but still looks sure to play a leading role in this contest. Low Flyer is bred to get further in time but is expected to go close here nonetheless, while When Yer Ready ran a creditable race on his first outing in public and cannot be ruled out.

TIA MIA made a very promising start to her racing career when winning comfortably on her debut around here in April. She has been far from disgraced in group races on her latest two outings and could prove difficult to beat now dropped in grade. Carleton has shown glimpses of form on his latest three outings in Group company and is another worth considering now dropped in class, while Carlisle maiden winner Choose Your Moment could go well.

ORPSIE BOY has been in cracking form of late and completed his hat-trick in fine style at Ascot last time out. He appears to be going form strength-to-strength at present and could take some stopping in his current rich vein of form. Indian Trail met lots of traffic problems before finishing with a wet sail on his latest outing at Goodwood and should go close given a trouble free run, while Zomerlust won a similar heat on his latest start at York and could be one for the each-way punter.

SOUL MOUNTAIN stepped up on her previous efforts when dotting up at Haydock just over a week ago. She is open to further improvement and looks like the one that they all have to beat on her handicap debut. Malyana was disappointing on her latest outing at Nottingham but has showed good form over this trip in the past, while Princess Cocoa is a pretty consistent type and would appear to have solid place claims.

SWEETSFORMYSWEET was disappointing at Lingfield last time out after making a big impression on her racecourse debut. She didn't appear to get home that day and could prove difficult to beat now dropped back to the minimum trip. By The Edge and Midnight Sky are worth noting for any strong support in the betting.

BLACK ROCK has finished in the frame in three of his four starts this term but was unable to recover from a slow start at Newmarket last time out. He looks sure to mount a bold bid now upped in trip. Inchinata finished a close third in a decent field at Ascot on her latest outing and is expected to give a good account with further improvement likely, while Alaghiraar won gamely on his seasonal reappearance at Leicester and cannot be ruled out.
