Another chance can be given to STANHOPE, who went close in three maidens prior to his third in a nursery at Yarmouth last month. That came from a mark of 80 and based on that evidence he should take all the beating today. Big Lachie has also shown ability but he could be vulnerable to some less exposed types such as Eskimo Bay and Luxford. Commander Cole is from the family of the Irish Oaks winner Moonstone (also the dam of US Army Ranger) and he cost 150,000gns as a yearling.

Silverrica escapes a penalty for her win in an apprentice handicap at Bath nine days ago and on that evidence she should take all the beating today. That said, the preference is for ASK THE GURU, who is drawn well to attack from stall two. He was third, from the same stall, over C&D two starts ago and that contest was arguably stronger than this one. The in-form John Joiner and Billyoakes are others who can make the frame, while Quick March is an each-way alternative.

MISTER MANDURO comes from a stout staying family and this stiff finish over a mile will suit Mark Johnston's charge down to the ground. Delannoy is also related to some decent types and should enjoy conditions, while Chaparrachik contested a strong Newmarket maiden when finishing last behind Dubai Hero and is entitled to have improved plenty for that experience and for the step up in distance.

A competitive handicap with several of these having a point to prove. One who doesn't is HAGGLE who ran well on her return at Glorious Goodwood when runner-up behind Desert Haze and is entitled to build on that effort here. The lightly raced Sacred Act has to be considered, despite a lengthy absence having finished runner-up behind Group 2 winner Lightning Spear when last seen at Lingfield last April, while American Artist was disappointing when last seen at Windsor but the drop down to a stiff mile will suit.

ARISTOCRATIC finally got her first win in a maiden at Kempton having appeared to go the wrong way from a fine return to action when runner-up behind Matron Stakes bound Persuasive. A return to handicap company should prove no issue for the daughter of Exceed And Excel. Elusive Ellen got back to winning ways last time at Brighton and has to be respected off a 3lb higher mark, while Little Miss Kodi and Carolinae merit plenty of respect.

CLOUDBERRY built on his 1m maiden success at Bath when following up over this trip in an apprentice handicap at Kempton last time (with Mister Music back in second) and rates the one to beat while unpenalised for that latest success. Unison bids to land a C&D hat-trick and is considered the main danger ahead of Red Tea, who is 2lb higher than when scoring over this trip at Bath in July. Rahmah (engaged to run at Chepstow yesterday) is no forlorn hope for a place as well.

SENNOCKIAN STAR has been running off a dangerous mark lately and wouldn't be winning out of turn if gaining compensation for his short-head defeat at Kempton last time out. Hollywood Road is 5lb higher than when scoring over track and trip three weeks ago but has place possibilities, as does Fleeting Visit, who finished an outpaced second over 1m here last time and could improve for this stiffer test. C&D winner Fiftyshadesfreed is no forlorn hope now eased in grade.
