ILLYKATO would have gone close to winning on her debut at Goodwood nine days ago with a clearer run and Mick Channon's filly is clearly the one to beat this afternoon. Flirty Rascal and Isla Vista are both entitled to improve for their first outings and they should not be underestimated. Enoughisgoodenough is a full-sister to the Group 3-winning juvenile Angel's Hideaway and Richard Hannon's newcomer merits plenty of respect.

UNDER CURFEW has not been disgraced in any of his starts since winning at Lingfield in February and he appears to be the safest pick in a wide-open contest. Porto Ferro has not been successful for a couple of years now, but her last couple of performances have been encouraging and she should be in the mix. Others to note are Cool Strutter, Garth Rockett and Tigerinmytank.

STAR CACTUS has improved with every start to date and she was last seen winning on her nursery debut over 7f at Ascot last month. That performance suggests the step up in trip should not be a problem for this daughter of Uncle Mo and a 7lb rise in the ratings appears to be fair. Genuflex took a big step forwards from his debut when second at Chepstow a few weeks ago and he is likely to have more improvement left to come. All of the remainder have claims but Zaisan is the pick of them.

KODILINE took advantage of a lenient mark when reverting to turf with aplomb at Leicester last month and the booking of Oisin Murphy suggests another bold bid is on the cards off a 6lb higher rating. Crystal Carole was third over track and trip from this figure last time and warrants respect, while Folie D'Amour is getting better with every run and the drop back in trip to a mile could suit.

Course winner AIR OF YORK has been in good form since the restart and wasn't beaten far when looking for back-to-back victories last time. His jockey removes a valuable 7lb and he's likely to be right there at the business end once again. Zest Of Zambia was second to the selection on his penultimate outing and is respected, while Valletta Sunset is interesting on his handicap debut following a promising third at Leicester.

VITARE was a useful second here over 6f earlier this summer and the consistent performer is interesting now dropped back to 5f. He could only manage third when sent off favourite at Ripon last time, but can make his experience count now to see off Royal Appointment, who has finished second on both outings so far and is tried in first-time cheekpieces. Ice Station Zebra is a half-sister to a Listed winner and is also of note on debut.

FIRST WINTER got off the mark at the fourth attempt over C&D when benefiting from the application of cheekpieces and the son of Dubawi can step forward again on his handicap bow. Baryshnikov has been running consistently well of late and he is likely to be in the mix along with Lucky's Dream, who was in excellent form at the start of the year.

GLENTIES was disappointing when strongly fancied at Goodwood on his latest start but he could easily bounce back if reproducing what he achieved when scoring over C&D on his penultimate start. Labeebb got off the mark at Newmarket on his third career start and remains open to progression on his handicap debut, while Buriram and Media Storm appear best of the remainder.

CHOSEN STAR stayed on nicely when taking fourth at Thirsk on her handicap debut and the step up in trip could bring about improvement from Michael Bell's Dubawi filly. Diva Kareem has plenty of useful experience under her belt and rattled the crossbar over 1m2f at Bath earlier this week. She looks to quickly go one better than that second off the same mark, while Uganda Heights took a massive step forward when fourth at Yarmouth and this distance should bring about the best of him.
