The evergreen AUSTRALIA DAY got his head in front in a competitive chase at Kempton recently and may get his own way in front now reverting to the Flat. Benbecula appears to be the only other potential front-runner, but has a bit to find with the selection on his National Hunt efforts. The in-form Xinbama could be a bigger threat after another solid display to finish second at Kempton, and Barwick also has to enter calculations after scoring over this distance at Newbury.

PAL OF THE CAT disappointed when sent off favourite in a stronger 0-95 handicap at Goodwood, but prior to that he had strung together a couple of victories on a sounder surface and he can get back to winning ways if encountering better conditions. The surface could be the key to Agerzam too, as he has yet to prove himself on turf but has been progressive on the all-weather and is duly respected. Secret Missile has gone close in similar events the last twice.

BELLE D'OR - a half-sister to 2000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand - was denied by a neck on debut at Newmarket and pulled nicely clear of the third. She should take some stopping with that experience under her belt. The top-rated Alys Love was ninth in the Fred Darling at Newbury on her seasonal reappearance and probably found six furlongs too sharp at Leicester last time. There could be more to come from her over a mile. Makruma drops in trip after finishing third at Ripon and could fare better against her own gender.

WATER QUEEN possibly needed the run when finishing fifth at Newmarket on her seasonal return and is given the benefit of the doubt, bearing in mind that William Haggas put her in the Coronation Stakes. Sejel could be the biggest danger after she improved to finish third at Kempton on her second start, although she has yet to race on turf. Palerma also built on her debut when third at Goodwood, but the runner-up didn't do much to boost the form next time, while High Drama struggled to pick up with cut underfoot at Bath and may do better on a sounder surface.

Last year's winner PROFESSOR arrives in good form after taking minor honours at Windsor and is fancied to follow up his success of 12 months ago. Highland Colori wasn't far behind Richard Hannon's charge in fifth and deserves a market check. That pair have to concede weight to C&D winner Artistic Jewel, who is entitled to improve for her reappearance at Nottingham in rain-affected conditions, and Valonia, who can also come on from her seasonal bow.

SIXTY was just two lengths shy of getting his head in front when coming up against more experienced rivals on debut at Goodwood and is tough to oppose with that experience under his belt. His stablemate Silver Ranger represents a big danger on the evidence of his York third and is forgiven a lacklustre display in dire conditions at Leicester. Arc Cara can improve for his first racecourse experience at Newmarket, likewise the 200,000-pounds Markaz, who was was sixth at Haydock first time out.

A LEGACY OF LOVE just managed to hang on when making her handicap debut at Lingfield, and like many of Sea The Stars' offspring, she is already looking a much better as a three-year-old. A 4lb rise looks fair for that victory and she is fancied to follow up. Royal Connection fared better at Newbury recently and looks the pick of Richard Hannon's duo, while Dorraar may have a bit to prove on turf but looks a big danger on her handicap debut nonetheless.

STYBBA returned from a lengthy absence to finish a promising runner-up at Kempton and a 6lb rise for that effort may not curtail her improvement. Dylan's Centenary chased home a future winner in selling company at Lingfield and may have a squeak off this mark, while Stoneham has gone close the last twice and can't be discounted. Prim And Proper was behind that rival when the pair were beaten at Bath and looks a potential each-way contender.
