Isingy Red was noted as putting in his best work in the finish over 7f at Lingfield last month and is a potential improver now tackling this longer trip but he has a low strike-rate (1-20) and preference is instead for REFRESHESTHEPARTS, who scored over 1m at Kempton on her penultimate outing, was far from disgraced in third over the extended 1m here latest, and could improve for this extra furlong. Thecornishcowboy is respected now back on the all-weather and is another to consider.

TAMARKUZ showed improvement upon his debut fourth at Newmarket to land second at Warwick latest and sets the form standard for the others to aim at based on those two 7f efforts. Pairumani Prince was outpaced over 5f at Lingfield on debut and looks a possible danger now tackling this longer trip, although the biggest threat may turn out to be the Jeremy Noseda-trained newcomer Infinite Magic, for whom any market support should be noted.

SUBTLE KNIFE has continued to progress all year and landed her third victory of the season when striking over this trip at Kempton latest. Giles Bravery's charge is 5lb higher today but her style of running means it is hard for the assessor to truly get a grip on her and there may still be more to come. Fellow three-year-old Alkadi may appreciate this drop in trip on the back of her 1m Kempton second and has place claims along with Lady Layla, who has placed over C&D the last twice, and Supreme Spirit, who hinted she'd be worth another try at 7f after staying on for second over shorter at Ffos Las latest.

EXCUSE TO LINGER ran a pleasing race to take seventh in a large-field Ascot maiden on debut and showed improved form to land the silver medal over track and trip when last sighted. Jeremy Noseda's representative rates the one to beat with further improvement anticipated. Layla's Oasis and Fly Fisher appeal most of the remainder but will need to raise the bar a notch if they are to trouble the selection. A bigger danger may be Mark Johnston's newcomer, Enzaal.

Griffin Point has been a model of consistency in recent months and has finished in the first two on each of her last six outings. Beaten by a nose off this mark at Ffos Las latest, another bold display is expected, but of more interest is penalised Kempton winner ALNOOMAAS, who remains open to more improvement than his elders and doesn't have many miles on the clock as a sprinter. Here Now And Why and Mary's Pet would not be winning out of turn either.

ROUNDELAY stayed on strongly in the closing stages over 5f when second at Yarmouth last time and hinted that this extra furlong would be ideal. Anthony Carson's charge looks capable of exploiting a mark of 46 and, from stall 2, William Carson should be capable of securing a good, early position. Recent Catterick scorer Cone Donkey heads the list of possible dangers from Imjin River and Novalist, both of whom are banking on a surface switch eliciting improvement to better recent efforts on turf.

Invigilator remains 4lb higher than when striking over track and trip in April and has place claims along with Ladydolly, who was a nose behind the first-named that day and is, herself, 3lb above her last winning mark. Perhaps it might be worth taking a chance on NINE BEFORE TEN, who is dropping down the weights like a stone. Third off 9lb higher in a 0-75 at Lingfield in May, a reproduction of that effort in this weaker grade may well suffice.

SKY KHAN has been knocking on the door of late and appears to have benefitted from the return to polytrack. Ed Dunlop's gelding still had something in reserve when touched off by a short-head over 1m2f at Kempton last time and is a potential improver now stepped up in trip. Daliance has gone up 5lb for finishing a head second to the well-handicapped Kalk Bay last time and heads the list of possible dangers from last-time-out Ripon scorer Hyperlink.
