THORNABY PEARL beat a Hamilton rival who went on to complete a hat-trick before defeating two subsequent winners at Musselburgh. The three-timer eluded him at Newmarket, but he was only beaten half a length into third and appears to have strong claims again. Sunlit Sea and South Shore also came up short in their hat-trick bids but remain of interest, as does Too Darn Good, who returned to form when successful over C&D last month.

MITHAALY occupied the runner-up spot over C&D on debut before filling the same position at Yarmouth. Connections were probably left a little disappointed that he couldn't get the job done last time, but this isn't as deep and he's fancied to go in at the third time of asking. Astralite showed some promise at Ascot and is entitled to step forward, while it would be wise to take note of any support for Nobelos, who fetched 110,000 euros and is related to a couple of decent types.

A small yet open contest, in which Paper View and Sky Secret lock horns again having met in a hot nursery at Glorious Goodwood. Envision was well beaten in good company there a couple of days prior, while Magic Effort is fitted with cheekpieces after finishing down the field in the Queen Mary. They might all have to beat BLACK VELVET BOY, though, because he looked potentially smart when bolting up at Beverley, leaving the suggestion an opening mark of 77 may underestimate him.

Having come good at the second time of asking in handicap company at Leicester, there could be more to come from RAY MON DOUGH. The three-year-old proved a decisive winner and he may be able to shoulder a 6lb penalty to further success. Under The Twilight is only 2lb higher than when a close-up second in a 26-runner sprint at Glorious Goodwood and is feared most, ahead of Newbury winner Waistcoat.

Caitlin G opened her account when making all in a classified contest at Yarmouth and she's heading in the right direction. That said, a 5lb rise from the assessor could be enough to anchor her now reverting to handicap company and YES WALIIM gets the vote. Richard Hughes' inmate escapes a penalty after getting off the mark under tonight's jockey at Lingfield and a quickfire double may beckon. Manhattan Chute and Jackie Brown are others of interest.

RISK AVERSE REBEL has been knocking on the door throughout the summer and this could prove his day in the sun. Gary Hanmer's colt was headed at the winning post on his most recent outing in a class 5 at Chester and this ease in class is expected to help. Trojan Truth was just denied at Ffos Las and merits respect as a C&D winner, while Highland Harvey may appreciate a return to this sort of trip.
