ORACLE OF DELPHI loved the longer trip and should be ready to win. He is coupled with first-timer STORM RULER - watch the betting. KING'S KING wasn't disgraced on debut and will come on. The same applies for SO SWIFT who showed good early speed. The balance are looking for minor money.

CROWN COURT has been in the money in all 3 starts. If covered early should go close. Stable companions SEPTEMBER BLOOM and TEENAGE DREAM are lively threats and the money could give a pointer to who is best. COLOUR VISION is improving nicely and will enjoy the extra. ATOMIC BELLE, LIGHT INDIGO and CRYSTALLINE could make the frame.

SANTA MONICA looks the obvious choice on form. She should be perfectly suited to this distance and has a favourable draw. However, there are two well bred first-timers in REDBERRY LANE and RED RIDGE who if supported could win. Watch the betting! COMTESSA ANTONIA could get into the picture.

Another Mike De Kock runner THAROOS should top bookmakers boards on current form. He has drawn on the inside fence which could prove costly. CYBER MAGIC has ability but races before this. STRIKE IT LUCKY is another that has a prior engagement - watch the form of both. VAR AGTIG is very fast but needs to keep going. ROMAN EVENING showed ability before being rested.

Very competitive. LADY ON FIRE is running well and finished well clear of CAPTAIN'S GIRL last time. However, the latter needed the outing and will do better. RONIN WARRIOR, DREAM LEADER, TIGER'S LEGACY and MINNESOTA are all capable of beating each other and luck in running could prove the decider. JIM CABLES only won his maiden last time but can only improve.

Paul Peter has a strong hand with CINNAMON WIND and AT A GLANCE. The former is finding form again and could come out tops. AT A GLANCE has always been in the money and should improve on her record. MY FRIEND LEE will prefer a bit further but will be catching late. S'WAY has run well fresh before - respect. Many others could upset the apple-cart.

ANALYSE THIS is ultra consistent and should again contest the finish. COUNTERSTROKE is running close up and should make a race of it. BAYLISIANA needed his last run badly and could get into the picture. SHIMMERING BROOK races for his new yard and could take home a cheque. Others looking for minor money.

Lucky Houdalakis could hold the winning hand here - COCKADE needed his last outing and could come out best; likewise MY TREASURE can only improve on his last outing after a rest; MAN'S INN has won 3 of 4 races this track and trip. TRIP TO TROY recorded both victories over a mile and could go one better. HAWAIIAN SUN, DAKIWE, CHEROKEE GREY, WILLIAM NICOL and KANONKOP could win.

ELEVENSES is going down the straight but if covered early could burst through late. GENTLEMAN ONLY is racing consistently close up and shouldn't be far off again. Stable mate CHAMPIONS CUP is capable but unpredictable. BLACK COSSACK is running well and could feature again. DE LUJO, GRASSHOPPER, RAIN SHADOW, SECRET LOVER and NIGHT RAIDER are more for the short list.
