King Supreme throws in the occasionally disappointing effort but is generally consistent and continues to pay the price with a steady rise through the ratings. A reproduction of his latest effort, caught on the line by the unexposed Hada Men at Folkestone, was a fine effort and he should play a prominent role once again. However, SHARPAZMAX has returned after a lay-off of over 18 months to post two commendable efforts and may be suited by this step up to 12f. It's A Date and Outlandish are consistent sorts who can be expected to deliver their usual solid performances.

A typically trappy sprint especially as four of the field renew acquaintance after meeting in a similar contest at Sandown last time. Blue Jack's late run saw him home that day from Canadian Danehill and there should be little between them here. ESTEEM MACHINE, fourth that day, was only beaten a length and a half after a troubled passage and could be the value option if things fall his way. He has been out of form for some time but that represented a significant improvement off a more workable mark. Equuleus Pictor and Dazed And Amazed are others to consider.

The Godolphin machine seems to be stepping up a gear with their charges benefitting from seasonal reappearances. SILK TRAIL was comfortably beaten at Windsor by Strawberrydaiquiri and Candy Ride, but the runner-up has scored subsequently and the form looks decent. Connections will be keen to land a victory for paddocks purposes and the Dubai Destination filly should come on for the run and go close. Sunceleb made a pleasing return to action at Nottingham and should get involved, likewise Good For Her, a promising second at Warwick last term. Money for the Stoute debutant, Insolence, should obviously be noted.

Hughie Morrison is renowned for his patient approach with potentially high-class sprinters, such as Sakhee's Secret, and C&D winner PALACE MOON is following a similar path after routing a competitive field of handicappers at Doncaster in late March. This looks a logical progression, although Diana's Choice is an obvious danger as she has highly useful winning form in Nad Al Sheba and the De Kock yard are the shrewdest of operators. The mare has not been seen since early March but should still go well, with the thoroughly reliable and likeable Judd Street sure to give his usual solid account.

This is an interesting heat with some in-form three-year-olds taking on their elders. Fly By Nelly looks sure to land a small handicap sooner or later, with similar comments applying to Izzi Mill, only caught late on at Catterick last time. Both have not been punished by the assessor and should be in the shake-up, However, KEN'S GIRL is a speculative recommendation. She has suggested that a return to form is imminent in recent appearances and would have leading claims if repeating the level of her Leicester success when making all last October. She is only 1lb higher today.

BROUGHTONS PARADIS showed a dramatic level of improvement on her juvenile form when stepped up in trip on her seasonal reappearance. She stayed on in taking fashion having been well supported in the market and a similar showing would afford her good claims in an open heat. Second To Nun has only had five career runs and can be expected to sustain her improvement after a battling success and close-up third at Bath. Ymir was another to deliver an improved performance last time and if repeating the level of his Goodwood third to Global, he would definitely be of interest.
