Tom Dascombe took this race last season and his FRANKADORE, third here over 1m2f last time, could reverse form with his conqueror on that occasion, the in-form Highwaygrey, on revised terms. Earl Of Harrow and Twenty Years On both tasted success last time and they can go well once again, while Roger Fell's Smeaton went close at Hamilton last week and races off the same mark.
Prediction : 1st Frankadore 2nd Earl Of Harrow 3rd Smeaton

This race was taken by a useful filly last season and Cheveley Park look to repeat that success with their Karl Burke-trained debutant, Guipure, who is related to plenty of winners. However, preference is for INTERNATIONALANGEL, who cost 110,000gns and will have learnt plenty on debut when running on well to finish sixth at Nottingham. The penny looked to have dropped in the latter stages of that contest and she forms part of a strong hand for Richard Fahey, along with his Kodiac newcomer Aleneva, who cost 150,000gns at the recent Guineas Breeze-Up Sale to run in the colours of John Dance. Masaakin and Walk In Marrakesh are others to consider representing handlers who do well in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Internationalangel 2nd Aleneva 3rd Guipure

The form of DUBAI STATION's Nottingham second on debut took a boost over the weekend when the winner of that Colwick Park contest got closest to impressive Woodcote winner Pinatubo at Epsom. Karl Burke's colt was beaten less than a length following a sluggish start on that occasion and could have plenty of progression in the locker. Richard Fahey won this in 2017 and his Majestic Sands did little wrong when scoring on debut at Leicester, while Partridge was only a nose away from victory at Salisbury on her first outing and could go one better receiving weight from all of her rivals.
Prediction : 1st Dubai Station 2nd Majestic Sands 3rd Partridge

Tomahawk Ridge rattled the crossbar over this trip at Redcar last time and is expected to remain competitive following a 3lb rise in the ratings, though narrow preference is for the unexposed TONE THE BARONE. The selection struck on his handicap debut over 6f at Windsor, following a gelding operation, and showed enough speed to think he could go well over this shorter trip. Klopp has been raised 3lb for scoring by a head over 6f at Wolverhampton but is no forlorn hope for a place.
Prediction : 1st Tone The Barone 2nd Tomahawk Ridge 3rd Klopp

JABBAROCKIE lost little in defeat when beaten by under a length into third over this trip at Thirsk last time and the winner, Duke Of Firenze, went on to win a 0-105 handicap at York next time. Eric Alston's C&D winner has a 1lb rise to contend with but is still expected to mount a bold bid. Youkan is entitled to come on for his reappearance spin, while Boundary Lane has been in good order for her new stable this term and is another to consider for the minor money.
Prediction : 1st Jabbarockie 2nd Youkan 3rd Boundary Lane

Enough Already took a big step forward when third at Goodwood last July following a modest Ascot debut and Roger Varian's charge is likely to have strengthened up plenty following a 310-day absence from the track. Modakhar catches the eye on debut but has already been gelded, and this might be a good chance for GUANDI to get off the mark. Second at Chester behind the above-average Hero Hero 12 days ago, there appears to be nothing of that calibre in this race and the colt can take advantage now under Richard Kingscote.
Prediction : 1st Guandi 2nd Enough Already 3rd Modakhar

GOLDEN JEFFREY shaped much better when second over hurdles at Perth 35 days ago and makes plenty of appeal returned to the Flat now back on his last winning mark in this sphere. The six-year-old can account for Firby, who won at Catterick when last seen for James Bethell and might improve now with Michael Dods, and Thorntoun Care, who could be more competitive now dropped back in distance for trainer Karen Tutty.
Prediction : 1st Golden Jeffrey 2nd Firby 3rd Thorntoun Care
