NOT ANOTHER WORD improved from her first to second over 5f and with the potential to progress further for stretching out in distance, she is fancied to go close under Faye McManoman. The two Stan Moore representatives Birkie Queen and Brown Eyes Blue both performed with credit in France last time out and warrant respect on their home return, while Classy Lady faces a much easier task than the seller she contested at York last week.
Prediction : 1st Not Another Word 2nd Birkie Queen 3rd Classy Lady

AUDARYA has done little wrong in three starts without winning, bumping into some well above average sorts, and she can claim a much-deserved victory in this contest. Her main dangers are the two last-time-out winners Artois and Proton. The latter won on similarly soft ground at Carlisle 22 days ago, while Hugo Palmer's charge makes his first appearance since winning on the Kempton all-weather in September. He has been gelded in the meantime.
Prediction : 1st Audarya 2nd Proton 3rd Artois

CAPE VICTORY built on a couple of solid runner-up efforts when scoring comfortably over 1m1f at Musselburgh and with that confidence-booster under his belt, he is fancied to follow up on his handicap debut. Highwaygrey has been running consistently well and shaped as though dropping back in trip would suit when chinned on the line for second over an extended 1m3f at Haydock last time. Itchingham Lofte, lining up off the same mark as when a close-up fourth at Ripon, also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Cape Victory 2nd Highwaygrey 3rd Itchingham Lofte

IMPERIAL STATE was disappointing when dropped to 6f at Hamilton on his latest start but could prove difficult to beat if replicating his return performance when fourth in a good handicap at Chester. His stable companion Roller makes some appeal sporting first-time cheekpieces, after finishing down the field on his return at Wetherby, while Robero and Tukhoom both arrive in decent form and complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Imperial State 2nd Roller 3rd Robero

ON THE LINE makes plenty of appeal as he returns from a 62-day absence as he boasts the weight-for-age allowance, along with Reggae Runner, and Hugo Palmer's colt might have benefited from a small break. The aforementioned Reggae Runner merits consideration on his Carlisle third 10 days ago, while Dawaaleeb and Donncha are both capable of improvement from their recent outings.
Prediction : 1st On The Line 2nd Reggae Runner 3rd Dawaaleeb

LEO DAVINCI handled soft ground when a close-up third over 1m at Windsor on his handicap debut last week and can strike off the same mark (due to go up 2lb in the near future). The three-year-old seemed to improve for the fitting of a first-time tongue-tie on that occasion and surely has more to offer now dropping back in trip. Beryl The Petal is consistent and wears a first-time visor, while Aghast and the returning Micronize are others to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Leo Davinci 2nd Beryl The Petal 3rd Micronize

Global Hope returned to form when third at Lingfield last time but might want quicker ground than this, while Tie A Yellowribbon ran a cracker when second at Leicester last month and looks capable of landing a small race sooner rather than later. However, the vote goes to SOUND OF IONA, who ran a huge race on her turf debut when second at Ayr recently. The drop back from 6f will help and Corey Madden takes off a valuable 7lb.
Prediction : 1st Sound Of Iona 2nd Global Hope 3rd Tie A Yellowribbon
