The confident vote goes to CALIPPO, who is 7lb and upwards ahead of those to have earned an official rating and she ran away with a Leicester seller over this trip last time. Classy Lady was only headed late on over 7f at Redcar so cutting back in distance gives her a definite chance, while Gin Gembre drops in class with a first-time visor equipped and that could see him improve.
Prediction : 1st Calippo 2nd Classy Lady 3rd Gin Gembre

Cloudea ran fairly green on her debut at Pontefract and might be a lot sharper with that run behind her, while Mecca's Hot Steps will likely be on the scene if running to her rating of 71. However, quickly turned out following her opening second at Chester last week, ENJOY THE MOMENT gets the vote. She was unlucky to bump into a potential Pattern filly on the Roodee and normal improvement could make her tough to beat.
Prediction : 1st Enjoy The Moment 2nd Cloudea 3rd Meccas Hot Steps

STAGEHAND certainly wasn't stopping when opening her account in a 1m course maiden earlier this month and might be able to complete the double making her handicap debut off a mark of 78. Billy Roberts looked to win with plenty in hand at Beverley and should remain competitive off 4lb higher, while Snowdon merits consideration equipped with cheekpieces on her second start of the season.
Prediction : 1st Stagehand 2nd Billy Roberts 3rd Snowdon

JABBAAR only found a well-handicapped winner too good when second at Pontefract last month and having again filled the runner-up berth at Hamilton on Thursday, this consistent type is fancied to claim an overdue success for Iain Jardine. The six-year-old handles varying ground and might just about be capable of winning off this mark. Fayez was far from disgraced in the competitive John Smith's Cup at York last week and should find this easier, while Charles Kingsley is another worth noting for some in-form connections.
Prediction : 1st Jabbaar 2nd Fayez 3rd Charles Kingsley

SMILE A MILE scored a shade cosily at Yarmouth on Wednesday and could defy a penalty for Mark Johnston. The three-year-old had previously looked unfortunate in defeat at Ayr when beaten a neck and can continue his good form in what appears to be another winnable contest. Star Shield has also been kept busy lately and deserves respect having won two of his last three, while Zip is in good form and shouldn't be far away once more.
Prediction : 1st Smile A Mile 2nd Star Shield 3rd Zip

Course-and-distance winner MULTELLIE was second in this last season and having fallen to a mark 1lb lower than his last winning rating, could be set to leave some disappointing runs this season behind him now returned to a venue he thrives at. Stablemate Appointed was a track-and-trip scorer last month and wasn't beaten far when looking to follow up at Carlisle, while Ideological went close off this figure here last time and is another who makes plenty of appeal.
Prediction : 1st Multellie 2nd Appointed 3rd Ideological

Richard Fahey took this last season and despite the pick of his JUNGLE SECRET's form being over five furlongs, he rates as the one to beat following a neck defeat at Musselburgh earlier this month. Montalvan has gone close the last twice, including over course and distance 12-days ago, while Dancingwithwolves has been running well in defeat at Chepstow recently and is of interest dropping back in trip.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Secret 2nd Montalvan 3rd Dancingwithwolves
