SEEYOUALLINCOPPERS is expected to give a good account for the Gordon Elliott stable now refitted with cheekpieces and a tongue-tie. He struck on good ground at Cork in May and could leave behind several wayward performances in stronger contests since now he is eased in grade. Rock Of Leon is worth a market check now sent back over timber after a frustrating spell chasing, while Holy Cross could build on his course fifth latest now cheekpieces are applied.

A contest that looks a match on paper between PASS THE TIME and Theatre Flame, with preference going to the former who runs off level weights with the latter having negated her mares allowance due to a success over fences in June. The latter ran well on his chasing debut behind Stephanie Frances at Worcester but has something to find on hurdles form. Finch Flyer should get around in his own time for third place prize money.

Two of the standout performers of the summer meet here in Sharp Rise and ROSSETTI. The former unseated at Newton Abbot when travelling well but has improved plenty this year and has thrived since moving to Charlie Longsdon. However, preference goes to the latter who is a triple C&D winner this summer and doesn't look finished with his improvement. Alcock And Brown looked a non-stayer last time at Worcester and merits consideration back in trip.

GOWANAUTHAT has been in excellent form under Harry Bannister this season, winning four on the bounce, and another 6lb rise has followed. He is a fluid jumper and could go in again if the ground remains good or better. Set List could provide his biggest test of the summer so far if replicating his battling course and distance victory last time out, while Kilfinichen Bay plugged on well at Newton Abbot last month and merits respect.

There was plenty to like about TAPER TANTRUM's victory at Newton Abbot last month for Michael Bell and he is likely to have come on plenty for that experience. The four-year-old was useful on the Flat and looks capable of confirming the form with Excellent Team, who franked the form of that performance with a win at Fontwell a fortnight ago. The Outlaw can claim the bronze medal but needs to brush up on his jumping.

JETHRO put in a significant career best on his handicap debut over fences last time. The son of Craigsteel was only beaten by half a length on that occasion and a 3lb rise in the ratings looks to be fair. Modeligo has been very progressive since the turn of the year and he could have more to offer today. Others to make the shortlist are Charlie Mon and Dealing River.

RAISED ON GRAZEON has shown more than enough ability in three starts to date to suggest that she can win a race of this nature. Donttellthemissis was unfortunate to bumped into a useful-looking rival at Market Rasen last time and another good run can be expected from the daughter of Flemensfirth. Tengri and Francophile are entitled to improve for the experience they gained on their respective debuts.
