Improving LOLLY WILLOWES has the form and experience to play a leading role, and she may improve over this extended trip. GIMMESUMLUV was 4th over track and trip last time (the form of that race has been franked) and a repeat of that effort should put her right in the firing line. STORM BALLET, KEEP WARM, HAT AND HEELS (blinkers fitted) and SOUTHAMPTON will likely fight out the remaining Quartet positions.

DOESYOURMOTHERKNOW wasn't beaten far on debut at odds of 5-2 and that experience should stand her in good stead against unraced rivals. Newcomers CASH OUT, MOANA and WITHIN REACH warrant respect, though the betting should provide a better guide to their chances on debut.

COVER CHARGE was backed on debut but showed his inexperience. He would have benefitted from that outing and should improve to confirm his superiority over both PARACHUTE ADAMS and EHHFIFTEENKJOE. Newcomer GREAT RIFT VALLEY won't need to be special to play a leading role on debut and market support would speak volumes of his chances.

PORRIDGE BOY made an encouraging 3yo reappearance as a gelding and will have a say in the finish with improvement expected. ONE OF THOSE DAYS will probably be better over further but should run well fresh to fight out the finish. PROPER was the subject of market support on debut and has subsequently been gelded. He is open to any amount of improvement with that experience to count on and the benefit of his rider's 1.5kg allowance. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN and newcomer NIGHT SKIZZLE are others worth a mention.

WAYNE bounced back to form with a tongue-tie fitted (retained) when a good 2nd in a stronger race over this trip last time and a repeat of that performance should suffice. STOKESY also improved with that equipment last time to open his account, so is respected on his handicap debut. IDEAL SUMMER showed promise as a 2yo and is open to improvement on his reappearance as a gelding. BUDDY BOY (cheekpieces) and FIRE STORM (tongue-tie) have shown enough to be competitive and could improve for their equipment changes.

MOUNT ETNA sprung a 40-1 surprise last time and need only confirm that improvement to have a say in the outcome. Runner-up SILVER FLARE also outran market expectations that day and is weighted to avenge that defeat. FALCONFLY has a bit to find on that form but shouldn't be far off the mark either. ROSY LEMON remains competitive off her current mark and wouldn't be winning out of turn after several near misses. Improving last-start winner GALAXY QUEEN benefitted from the addition of blinkers when opening her account and she may have more to offer over this distance with the headgear retained.

PERFECT MIRACLE and ROAMING SPIRIT are proven at this level and could fight out the finish on current form. The former has more scope for improvement so is preferred, though the latter has improved with blinkers fitted and races off a slightly reduced mark. Last-start course-and-distance winner BRIGHT AND BRAZEN carries a penalty but should remain competitive, along with VAMANOS (carded to run at an earlier meeting) and FISH HAWK.

HIS LORDSHIP wasn't winning out of turn when scoring at this level last time and a 4-point penalty is unlikely to prevent another forward showing. Hard-knockers ESQUEVELLE and TURBO POWER have the form and experience to pose a threat. However, stablemates HEMISPHERE and BANYAN could give the selection most to fear if bouncing back from disappointing last starts to their earlier form after a rest.

Improving TINTIN trounced his rivals on handicap debut (over 1400m) and a resultant 7-point penalty shouldn't halt his momentum. Fellow last-start winner FULLY LOADED is a former course-and-distance winner and his rider's 4kg allowance will help. However, a bigger challenge will likely come from MAX THE MAGICIAN, SECRET CHORD, BRISTOL HERCULES and PRINCE OF KILDARE all of whom have solid credentials at this level. Filly RINGA RINGA ROSES isn't taken lightly either.

Many with chances in a big field but the value could lie with rejuvenated veteran KOTINOS whose recent form off his current mark is encouraging. LAST GINGER, BAY EMPIRE and GOLDEN ASPEN have the means to fight out the finish but will need things to go their way from wide starting berths. CAN'T CATCH ME is also awkwardly drawn but she is in good form and her last victory did come against male opposition. SUNSET WARRIOR, PRINCESS LOLA and COMMANDER OF ALL complete the shortlist.
