SENECA CHIEF carries a 4lb penalty for winning here last Friday, when he got the better of Glamorous Breeze. The latter is better off at these weights but, while she has the potential to improve for the fitting a first-time visor, the former is fancied to back up that victory. Melody King's recent consistency brings him into the equation as well.

GOLDSPUR boasts a smart pedigree, being a son of Dubawi out of a Group 1-placed dam, and Charlie Appleby's colt warrants the utmost respect on his racecourse debut. Wolsey was bought for $275,000 at the Keeneland yearling sale last September and the son of Kitten's Joy is a half-brother to a US Grade 1 winner. Luis Fernando is bred to stay well and is of interest, along with Kaatibb and Cabrakan.

WODETON cost 100,000 pounds at the Arqana Breeze-Up sale at Doncaster in May and this half-brother to a Listed winner gets the vote to make a winning start to his racing career. Damaar comes from the family of Gold Cup winner Order Of St George so he may need further in time to be seen to best effect. Atheby ran in the Solario Stakes here behind Reach For The Moon last month and the drop in class puts him into the reckoning.

MOSTAHDAF had excuses when last seen in the Group 1 St James's Palace Stakes, being hampered at a crucial stage. The son of Frankel recorded a win in the Listed Heron Stakes over this C&D in May and he can get his career back on track here. Perotto was an eye-catcher at Goodwood and could be the main threat now dropping in grade. Sir Busker has been performing with consistency this season and is likely to figure in this contest, while Bell Rock and Rhoscolyn also hold claims.

SPIRIT OF THE BAY has been in excellent form and arrives here seeking her fourth consecutive victory. The daughter of Cable Bay was raised 6lb for her latest Kempton success and still looks to be well treated with the three-year-old allowance. Madame Tantzy returned to form when last seen at Goodwood and merits respect, while Deep Sigh is another to consider returning from a short break after success at Doncaster in July.

Solid cases can be made for most of the runners in this field, with top-rated ZIGGY taken to land the spoils. After streaking clear to win in magnificent style on his penultimate outing, the three-year-old was hampered when travelling well at Goodwood and a mark of 81 could underestimate his ability. Dickens won with plenty in hand at Wolverhampton last month and he rates the most immediate danger, while Beautiful Crown is on the hunt for a hat-trick of wins and completes the shortlist.

Sky Bright didn't appreciate the ease in the ground on her hat-trick bid last month and that is a worry with the potential for more rainfall before racing. New Heights is holding her form and cannot be discounted, but HARSTON scored with a little in hand on her handicap bow at Lingfield in July and remains open to further improvement.
