Chifa has some good form here with four of his five career victories coming over this C&D, but he races off 4lb higher than his latest win in May and needs to do more from the nine stall. BEAUZON is more consistent than most in this field with a top four finish in four of his five starts this season (one win) and, if a change of yard brings him back to his best, he could come home in front. Touchwood and Vortigan also warrant plenty of respect.

Trainer Darryll Holland won this last year with a maiden off a lowly mark and he bids to repeat the dose with the 59-rated Justahunch, who steps up in trip on his all-weather debut after finishing sixth off 3lb higher at Brighton. However, TROPICAL AIR is readily preferred after the Showcasing gelding was sent clear to win by three lengths over this trip at Lingfield last time out and although he has been put up 8lb for that victory, there may be more to come from Charlie Johnston's gelding. Stable companion Kandy House also makes the shortlist with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.

NEZEEH powered home to win by over three lengths on his debut at Thirsk last month and having been gelded since, he is taken to make it two wins from two this evening. He does have to give weight away to all of these but has scope for plenty of improvement and may be the class act in this field. Biographer showed up well before being outpaced late on over 7f at Kempton first time out and seems sure to have learned from that experience. The drop in trip may suit and he could get the better of Pen Portrait in the race for second.

Next Second merits respect following her narrow win over C&D last time but a 3lb rise will make her life tougher here. With that in mind, preference is for SUANNI, who was a close fourth on that occasion and could reverse the form on 4lb better terms. Rewilding edges out Storm Melody and Coronation Cottage to be the pick of the remainder.

UNDER CURFEW has made the frame on his last three starts and the in-form gelding gets the vote off a 1lb lower mark than when a close third over 5f here two starts ago. Stella Blue has to be of some interest having bounced back to form at Southwell last time, while Show Compassion and Outreach also merit places on the shortlist.

The hat-trick seeking SEND IN THE CLOUDS does not have to carry a penalty for his win over 1m2f at Brighton a week ago and the six-year-old is hard to oppose as a result. Chinese Whisperer bounced back to form when a close third in a similar event to this at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, while Clandestinely and Caramay are others who could go well.

Tawtheef returns to the all-weather after a disappointing seventh at Epsom and as he has won over C&D, he has to enter calculations. DARKER is still a maiden after 13 starts but gave a good account of himself when third at Chelmsford last time out, running on well over a mile and suggesting he will appreciate this step back up in distance. Zakram could be a value alternative with the booking of Richard Kingscote catching the eye.

Something must have been amiss with STRATEGIC FORTUNE last time out when he was a distant last here and he may be better judged on his February course victory over a furlong further off 3lb lower. He has won here three times and may make that four if he can bounce back to his best today. Bo Taifan has won three of his last four starts and enters calculations despite a further 5lb rise in the handicap, while Style Of Life put in an improved effort when second at Ffos Las in July and is another to consider on her handicap debut.
