BRIDGET'S BABY went in by just under two lengths over this trip at Lingfield in June and was only raised 5lb as a result. This is just her second appearance in handicap company and with further progress likely, she could prove hard to beat. Rajeteriat wasn't disgraced when third in a classified stakes contest over C&D recently and the application of a first-time visor might eke out some improvement. Dusk Damsel is another to note.

My Maria has found one too good on each of her last three starts and she might have to settle for the silver medal again, because LOVELY DARK ANGEL is preferred. George Boughey's filly exhibited clear signs of greenness when fourth on her introduction at Windsor earlier this month but she looks sure to come on from that experience. Provided the daughter of Dark Angel can overcome a wide draw, she ought to go close. He's Readytorumble isn't out of this either.

DIAMONDINTHEDARK bounced back from a below-par Lingfield effort to take home the silver medal at Ffos Las earlier in the month and is just 1lb higher. With a previous C&D victory to her name, she could prove a tough nut to crack. Currahee finished a creditable fourth at Newmarket recently and has dropped to an attractive mark, whilst the returning Alshimali is another to keep a close eye on.

Stepping up to 1m6f proved ideal for BOILERMAKER when he won gamely at Sandown and he could be tough to overhaul if replicating the effort back on Tapeta. Still unexposed on the surface, the son of Teofilo has enough scope to brush aside a 3lb rise. The Craftymaster has been resurgent of late and a third consecutive success cannot be ruled out, despite his all-weather mark being 9lb higher than his turf rating. Letmebetheboss and Fair Dinkum are the pick of the rest.

Dropping into classified company has prompted a mini revival from FIGHTING POET, who can build on two placed efforts at this level if the first-time visor draws the requisite effort for him to stay focused in the closing stages. Smoker Bellamy is feared the most, stepping out of handicap company after a better effort at Southwell, while Lawmans Blis is a three-time C&D winner who cannot be ruled out debuting for a new yard in a weak event.

DESIDERATA was in good form when last seen and having won when fresh before, this could be within his compass, despite him resuming on a career-high mark. Manton Road could be the one to capitalise if the selection is rusty after 130 days on the sidelines. The Richard Phillips-trained gelding readily held the consistent On Key when they clashed over 7f on his penultimate start and he can uphold the form as the more proven over this distance. Previous course winner Book Of Life also merits consideration.

Form Snapshot

A wide open handicap in which very few can be completely ruled out with confidence. Of the lightly-raced horses the stable companions Zayin Sentinel and Mobaasher have to hold solid claims, particularly if strong in the market. Sassy has been slowly coming to the boil this season and is well treated now. Like Mayfair, both have headgear back on that they've performed well in previously. However, given that others are likely to force the pace, VICTORIA is a tentative pick. It was a below-par effort last time out, but that was a rarity and she's taken to win for the second time this season.
