Having recently finished a close-up second on her second outing at Brighton, Green Dame is still open to improvement and she must enter calculations. However, SCHRODINGER'S CAT was narrowly denied on his latest start at Ripon and that form looks a shade stronger. Last month's Windsor runner-up Akirra is another heading in the right direction and could also be in the thick of the action.

LIPSINK showed a willing attitude to fend of all challengers over C&D a fortnight ago and a 4lb higher mark looks workable. That form has worked out reasonably well and Mick Appleby's veteran is turned out before a further 1lb rise takes effect. Sandscreendeliverd opened his account at Lingfield (turf) last month and is a feasible alternative to the selection, along with handicap debutant Trafalger.

On Message shaped with plenty of promise when fourth on debut over 7f at Newmarket, but she may have her work cut out to repel reopposing second ENCHANTED QUEEN. Charlie Appleby's filly found only an exciting prospect too strong on that opening bid and the daughter of Ghaiyyath should relish the extra furlong. Sea The Storm is the pick of the newcomers and market support would be interesting.

SUSPENDED SENTENCE showed a willing attitude to repel a strong challenge from the runner-up at Ripon. He could prove better than his opening mark, given the second has won since, and a bold bid is anticipated from Michael Bell's colt. Champion Island faced a tougher test in a nursery over 7f at York, but his Goodwood third on heavy ground before that suggests this extra yardage will suit. Magnatura is worth a second look on his handicap bow.

Recent Goodwood third Billyjoh could land a blow in this lower grade, while Crimson Spirit merits consideration on last month's second off this mark at Musselburgh. CROWN BOARD has been set a series of stiff tasks this season, but remains of interest on his creditable fourth in a Listed contest here at this time last year. A return to that level would make Jane Chapple-Hyam's unexposed five-year-old hard to beat.

SUNLIT UPLANDS did well to score on her handicap bow at Haydock in May considering she was hampered at the start and checked when making headway. A 4lb rise seems more than fair and a wind operation may well be another source of improvement. Tropical Heat commands plenty of respect in her hat-trick bid, while Bint Mohaather and Dancing Colours are others capable of further progression.

BEACH POINT arrives in fine fettle having landed a brace of C&D handicaps and another 4lb rise for his latest success may not be enough to stop him in his current vein of form. Whatsgoingonmarvin drops in trip following a consistent season and has to enter the reckoning. Carnival Day, who was fourth behind the selection last time, and Distinction round out the shortlist.
