RUSSIAN RUMOUR won with authority at Bath when making all over further and if he can get to the lead, an added 2lb from the handicapper may not stop him following up whilst he remains at the top of his game. If he fails to run to form, then Al Azhar could be the one to take advantage trying this trip for the first time after running on into second at Brighton, while Sea Appeal drops in class and may be the one to chase them home.

Nogo's Dream won his only start here in a five-furlong maiden and was only beaten a length off 1lb higher at Windsor, so if he gets home over this longer trip, then he could be a danger to all. However, JUST JANET is narrowly preferred as her 6lb penalty for winning at Catterick is mostly negated by Connor Planas' 5lb claim, which can help her double up. Clive Cox has been among the winners of late and his Fools And Horses is another who could get into the mix, with the drop to 7f looking ideal on her second start of the season.

OH SO GRAND was value for more than the official margin of a neck when winning at Bath after losing momentum in the final furlong and, if she improves again as hoped, she may be able to successfully give the weight away to all of her rivals. Doras Tamar ran well on her debut when second over seven furlongs and is immediately stepped up in trip, which seems sure to suit and she may get the better of Sir Raj, who ran below expectations at Windsor but tries cheekpieces for the first time here.

COLOANE registered a near-miss the last time she raced over this C&D in March and, as this appears to be a weaker race, she rates as the one to be with here. Brigitte doesn't have many miles on the clock and certainly warrants a check in the betting market, while Don't What Me Boy (fifth) could feasibly get closer to the selection (second) if he settles better than he did when they met at Chelmsford eight days ago. Senseofentitlement is also respected back up in trip.

DARK GOLD appeals most in an ordinary handicap, as he could be a different proposition now upped in trip following a reasonable effort on his return from wind surgery in a 1m2f handicap at Yarmouth 11 days ago. Among others, the son of Havana Gold is a half-brother to a dual winner over this trip and should appreciate this sterner test. Manxman, who won an apprentice handicap at Windsor last time, is feared most despite a 10lb higher mark, while Timewave and Zivaniya complete the shortlist.

ROGUE DE VEGA has achieved a decent level of form in three outings to date and Tom Clover's gelding appears capable of further progression now making his handicap bow. Bill Plumb had a genuine excuse when attempting to land the hat-trick at Southwell, due to finishing lame, and he is expected to return to form, while Asadjumeirah and Sergeant Pep head the remainder.

This looks a good opportunity for AJS LATTAM to extend his unbeaten record on his first start in Europe. Improved from his debut success to win by a length and a half from 15 other runners on his last start in April in Doha, will be fresh from a break and hard to oppose getting a weight for age allowance from older horses here.
