AMAZING AMAYA got her nose in front over the course and distance 14 days ago and a 4lb rise shouldn't be enough to stop her getting involved once again. Scott Dixon won this in 2017 and course third Champagne Mondays appears the pick of his pair dropping to the minimum distance, while Hey Ho Let's Go, beaten less than a length here when second last time, makes his first start for Mark Hoad.
Prediction : 1st Amazing Amaya 2nd Champagne Mondays 3rd Hey Ho Lets Go

FUJAIRA KING once cost 220,000 guineas as a yearling and there is likely to still be plenty of untapped potential under the bonnet. He drops to the minimum distance for his second outing for Stuart Williams and made the podium on all three outings for Michael O'Callaghan in Ireland. Tomshalfbrother made a pleasing reappearance at Wolverhampton in October and is now seen in first-time cheekpieces, while Irish raiders My Excelsa and Wondrous Scene require a close market inspection.
Prediction : 1st Fujaira King 2nd Tomshalfbrother 3rd Wondrous Scene

Mick Appleby won this 12 months ago and his SPEED MERCHANT, who is a two-time winner, makes plenty of appeal off the mark he ran extremely well off at Chelmsford last time. The youngster ran much better than the finishing position suggests, beaten less than two lengths, and he can make amends to supporters who sent him off favourite on that occasion. Havana Dawn (was also engaged to run at Newcastle on Wednesday) has shaped nicely of late, including when second over track and trip last month, and is respected. David Brown's Mews House wasn't beaten far off this rating at Newcastle on his nursery debut and is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Speed Merchant 2nd Mews House 3rd Havana Dawn

C&D maiden winner SOCIOLOGIST picked up minor money in a 0-70 handicap over 1m4f here two weeks ago and is expected to give a good account off 1lb lower now dropping into 0-65 company. Elegant Love failed to see out the trip over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford last time and could be suited by this drop back in distance. Fayetta and Grandscape are others capable of playing minor roles.
Prediction : 1st Sociologist 2nd Fayetta 3rd Grandscape

Divine Gift is an interesting new recruit to the Iain Jardine team but might be high enough in the weights after a 174-day absence, while Temur Khan returns to the scene of his last success 11 months ago and is just 3lb above that winning mark now. It might pay to go with ANGEL LANE after getting off the mark over C&D two weeks ago. She is fully unexposed over this trip and can double her career tally.
Prediction : 1st Angel Lane 2nd Divine Gift 3rd Temur Khan

EMOJIE ran a big race when second behind an in-form rival here four weeks ago and is fancied to go one better under 5lb claimer Ray Dawson. Still a maiden, he handled this surface fine 31 days ago and this could be his day. Elysee Star struggled to land a telling blow despite being supported in the betting last month and should appreciate this extra furlong, while recent Chelmsford runner-up Crazy Spin also makes some level of appeal.
Prediction : 1st Emojie 2nd Elysee Star 3rd Crazy Spin

Our Charlie Brown needs a market check on stable debut for David Griffiths, while James Evans has a good record here with his select runners and Kentucky Kingdom appeals after an impressive second at Wolverhampton 17 days ago. Preference, instead, is for LIGHTNING CHARLIE, who caught the eye when fourth at Newcastle earlier this month. This is just his third start for Iain Jardine, and he is fancied to handle this surface on Fibresand debut.
Prediction : 1st Lightning Charlie 2nd Our Charlie Brown 3rd Kentucky Kingdom
