SAN SIMON found late support on debut but lacked experience and will know more about it. SECRET CHORD is showing up nicely and could challenge. GREAT BARRIER was given a break after 2 decent efforts - if ready could feature. JUSTCANTGETENOUGH could make the frame. Watch the 11 first-timers especially MID WINTER WIND and PRECIPEACE.

WOMEN OF FAME was given a break after disappointing and could find form being fresh. After encountering problems at the start in both starts stablemate FRENCH DUCHESS could get lucky after a break. SPIRITED GIRL showed good toe on debut but pulled up coughing. She can only improve. LADY CHATTERLEY was rested after not striding out but must be considered while stable companion GRAPE SHOT is sure to improve. OUT THE MIST (not disgraced on debut) and coupling LIFE LESSON cannot be ignored for money. Watch the newcomers.

All eight runners have chances and judgement of pace could decide it. A fast pace up front could suit JET DYNASTY, AMERICAN GRAYSON and PROFESSOR SNAPE who makes his debut in new surroundings. BEY SUYAY and CATCH THE TUNE could prefer a slower pace to dictate and keep up the gallop. YOUCANTHURRYLOVE and AMERICAN STAR wouldn't mind it either way. SCARLETT PIMPERNEL is better than his last run.

The Golden Loom Handicap (Listed) is competitive. I AM GIANT has won both starts after a rest but tries the minimum trip for the first time. If he doesn't cut throats with MOVER AND SHAKER could finish off strongly. Seven-year-old CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT is running well but was run out of it by DYCE who could find it a bit sharp. AUSSENKEHR was narrowly beaten by CLIFF HANGER last time but lost his crop which proved costly. However, the latter has more scope for improvement.

HSH Princess Charlene Starling Stakes (Grade 3) over 1400m sees the maturing WHITE PEARL ready to prove she could match strides with the best. Stable companion PLATINA PRINCESS will appreciate the long run in and should finish off strongly. EGYPTIAN MAU is still showing signs of immaturity but she will enjoy this track and could challenge. BOMBER GIRL could prove best of the rest.

The BETWAY GRAHAM BECK STAKES (Grade 3) over 1400m sees two top stars meet up for a rematch - SANDRINGHAM SUMMIT (5 runs, 3 wins and 2 seconds) and MAIN DEFENDER (5 runs, 4 wins and 1 second). The latter's only defeat was at the hands of SANDRINGHAM SUMMIT. Great race. GIMMEANOTHERCHANCE disappointed last time but shouldn't be far behind them. SOVEREIGN STATE is unbeaten in three starts but the competition was a lot weaker. The rest will battle.

The Allied Steelrode - Onamission Charity Mile over 1600m is competitive and all charities will be shouting their choices home for prize money. WINCHESTER MANSION comes off a gallant Hollywood Durban July win but could just need it. BLESS MY STARS could turn it around having had a prep run thereafter. PUERTO MANZANO does his best but will be disadvantaged by a bad draw. EYE OF THE PROPHET could take advantage from a good draw.

Joint top weight ZEUS is the one to beat in the Java Stakes (Listed) over 2400m. He is bang in form and the combo is on a hat-trick. FLYING BULL needed his last outing for his new yard and on 4kg better terms with ZEUS could make a race of it. BLACK THORN needed his last run and should come on heaps. Lightly raced BATTLEGROUND (stays well), RIVER ROMEO (attempts a marathon trip again), TROIS TROIS QUATRE and stablemate MAMBO COME TESIO could make the money. Nine-time winner OPERA GLASS has a postage stamp to shoulder.

ROYAL GUIDE has matured and if ready after a rest should be the one to beat. If he fluffs his lines than anything could win it. So, it looks like banker or load. INDLAMU needed his last run and will come on. Stablemate PYROMANIAC could just need it. WHAFEEF claims 4kg and with ZUZAN, as well as SILENT WAR, are others for the shortlist.

Competitive race to end the meeting. MO THE MAN is holding form but has 60kg to shoulder. He gives AMERICAN BISCUIT 0.5kg - both could get into the money. TURBO POWER found problems in his 2nd run as a gelding but should be right there. Stablemates SAGE KING and REAL RELIEF had issues last time and their riders have swopped around. WOODLAND GLADE needed her last outing and shouldn't be far off. Others could find the frame.
