Top Breeze has been running to a consistent level in recent months and wouldn't be winning out of turn, though the handicapper is cutting him little slack. Preference for win purposes is thus for ASTRO JAKK, who remains only 3lb higher than when scoring over this trip at Newcastle earlier in the month and posted a fair run in defeat when fourth over C&D last time. Hat-trick seeker Zapper Cass and Lomu, who won at Newcastle on Monday, are others worthy of shortlist inclusion.

FATHER OF JAZZ shaped with an abundance of promise when second over 1m2f on debut at Sandown and is entitled to come on for that outing to take closer order. Moohareeba is improving with experience and has viable place claims, as does Toora Loora, who is a fairly exposed but is having only her second start for David Simcock. Delta River, who returns from a long absence, is also worthy of a market check.

LADY FATMA has posted creditable efforts in defeat over an extended mile and 7f here the last twice and remains on an exploitable mark for Marco Botti. A 1lb rise for winning over this track and trip is unlikely to prevent Fact Or Fable from running a big race, while there may also be better to come from Bright View now she's sent handicapping. Swinging Eddie needs to leave his last run at Musselburgh well behind but is usually consistent and has place claims on his best form.

QUITEACATCH kept on into second over 6f here last time and could build on that performance now granted this additional furlong. C&D winner Waqaas returned to form when third at Kempton latest and is expected to go well off this 1lb lower mark. The pick of the remainder may be Groupie, who picked up the bronze medal off this mark over 7f at Southwell when last sighted.

Araifjan was unable to dictate matters when finishing sixth here last time but he's a danger to all in this lower grade if he can dominate under Richard Kingscote. Narrow preference, however, is for STEELRIVER, a C&D winner who hinted his turn was approaching when fourth over C&D off 1lb higher last time out. Thowq and Gold Brocade are others worthy of shortlist inclusion in a competitive heat.

RECUERDAME is only 1lb higher than when winning over C&D in October and some promise can be taken from his most recent outing at this venue. Blue Dawn remains a maiden after six starts but she has shown enough promise to suggest that she can go well in a race of this nature. Tavrina has yet to live up to her 130,000gns price tag but she merits a market inspection on her debut for this yard.

MY LAW sets the standard having returned to winning ways over a mile at Kempton 16 days ago and a 5lb rise in the ratings for that success appears to be fair. Steal The Scene and Casaruan were both narrowly beaten on their most recent outings and they merit consideration today, while Mayson Mount is the pick of the remaining field.

Cityzen Serg won twice over C&D last month and he has an obvious chance once again today, although he will have to take another step forward to make it a hat-trick. With that in mind, a chance can be taken with STREAK LIGHTNING, who won his first two starts earlier in the year but then struggled in two competitive handicaps. The son of Night Of Thunder drops in grade today and he may improve for gelding and wind operations since his last appearance. De Vegas Kid is another recent C&D winner who could make the frame.

TOMMYTWOHOOTS put in a career-best when finishing second on his nursery debut at Chelmsford last month and the progressive colt should go very well once again off just a 1lb higher mark this evening. Woodview has displayed some promise in novice company and he should not be underestimated, while Spark Fury and Hanoverian King are others who merit places on the shortlist.
