ATKINSON GRIMSHAW can continue the good recent spell of form for the Andrew Balding yard who have been going strongly, most notably with their two-year-olds. The son of Rio De La Plata comes from a fair family and should take some beating. Dark Destroyer has solid claims, stepping up in distance after running well behind Stormy Clouds at York's Ebor meeting, along with another newcomer See Of Rome.

SINGING SANDS didn't appear to see out the mile here last month when third behind Haulani and the drop back down a furlong will clearly benefit the daughter of Harbour Watch. Glory Of Paris should improve for the step up to 7f having ran consistently on his last couple of starts, while Fastnet Spin is entitled to improve for the first time visor and also for the drop back down in distance.

INTIMATELY got off the mark last time at Yarmouth under the very capable George Wood who is reunited here. The drop down in distance should prove no concern as he was all out to repel all raiders last time. Harmony Bay has proven to be consistent apart from last time but should bounce back to her best here, while Fashionable Spirit's fifth at Windsor brings her right into contention.

FLEETING DREAM was touched off by a neck over the extended 5f at Bath last time out and is expected to remain competitive, despite a 4lb rise, now granted this extra yardage. Guanabara Bay attracted support prior to finishing third over this trip at Goodwood last time out and merits shortlist inclusion along with Cooperess, who is 4lb higher than when scoring over 7f at Sandown in July. Show Legend is fitted with a first-time visor in a bid to capitalise on a plummeting rating but is worth a cursory market check.

A typically open nursery in which GROUPIE is a sporting selection. After landing a C&D conditions race in June, the selection was beaten by under two lengths in a tougher race over 5f at Chester. Now moving into a nursery and stepped back up to 6f, a return to winning ways could be imminent. Handicap debutant Prufrock drops back in trip after finishing a short-head second in a 7f Lingfield maiden and can battle it out with recent Yarmouth runner-up Jumping Around for the minor money.

Amour de Nuit has the highest of official ratings of these but he may be slightly flattered by that mark and has to give away a minimum of 7lb to all of his rivals tonight. VIVE MA FILLE had Mr Singh (third) and Glaring (sixth) well behind her when she chased home Platitude in the Listed March Stakes at Goodwood a couple of weeks ago. There is no reason why the filly cannot confirm that form here. Highland Castle won this race back in 2011 but looks to have a bit to find, while Fun Mac's last win came over C&D but he has yet to show his best form in 2016.

NEW WORLD POWER was unfortunate to bump into two useful sorts when he was third at Sandown back in June and that followed a second to the smart Ulysses on his racecourse debut. A reproduction of either effort would given this Japanese-bred three-year-old an outstanding chance. Burguillos and Skeaping have some decent form to their names but they are starting to look exposed, while Capton and Transmitting are entitled to improve for their first racecourse appearances.
