THE LACEMAKER has been in good form of late, winning back-to-back Lingfield contests, and Milton Harris' course-and-distance winner could be the answer once again here. Daring Guest was only beaten a neck in the most recent of those contests and shouldn't be far away once again, while Global Melody was denied by a head at Southwell eight days ago and could easily get in the mix off the same rating.
Prediction : 1st The Lacemaker 2nd Daring Guest 3rd Global Melody

NEVER IN PARIS wasn't disgraced when last seen in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury and having won on debut before that, she makes plenty of appeal returning from 160 days off the track. Cheveley Park Stud look to have a strong hand with Anna Maria, a half-sister to Duke Of Firenze, and the Clive Cox-trained Endowment. Tomorrow's Dream shaped nicely at Newcastle on debut and is another to note, with True Believer also considered dropping back in trip following some encouraging performances on the all-weather this month.
Prediction : 1st Never In Paris 2nd Tomorrows Dream 3rd True Believer

FAR ROCKAWAY was only beaten by half a length when producing a much-improved performance upped to 1m2f last time and William Haggas' Frankel filly could pick up a first victory now back to a mile. She was denied a clear run on that occasion, with the winner carrying her right in the final stages, and looks a winner in waiting. Cottonopolis was sent off favourite for his debut at Brighton in the summer, finishing a more than creditable second. Tolmount, a Dubawi colt out of a Group 3 winner is a newcomer to note, as is John Gosden's $1.6million yearling Tenbury Wells.
Prediction : 1st Far Rockaway 2nd Tenbury Wells 3rd Cottonopolis

STAY CLASSY (second) finished just behind Bubble And Squeak two starts ago and followed that up with a Lingfield victory just over a week later to confirm the form. She is starting to find her feet on synthetic surfaces now and is fancied to reverse the placings. Solar Heights is better than she showed last time out, while Yimkin warrants a betting check on stable debut for the double-handed Marco Botti.
Prediction : 1st Stay Classy 2nd Bubble And Squeak 3rd Solar Heights

16:10 Wolverhampton

HERM proved too strong at the finish for Calvinist (second) over C&D 25 days ago and that form is expected to be confirmed here. David Evans' charge is chasing a three-timer now after a previous success at this venue, and a further 3lb rise doesn't appear too harsh all things considered. Ebqaa has performed creditably in defeat the last twice and has dropped to a tempting handicap mark now for James Unett.
Prediction : 1st Herm 2nd Calvinist 3rd Ebqaa

16:40 Wolverhampton

SERAPHIM was joined on the line to force a dead heat here on her most recent outing and the drop back to the minimum distance could see the daughter of Dark Angel improve again off a 3lb higher mark. Precious Plum is capable of being in the mix as she returns from a 74-day absence having won over C&D three outings ago, while Bernie's Boy and Dark Side Dream can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Precious Plum 2nd Seraphim 3rd Bernies Boy

17:10 Wolverhampton

SNOW OCEAN has been progressive on his last couple of outings and won a C&D handicap at the start of the month in good style. A 5lb rise might not be enough to stop David Evans' gelding from landing the hat-trick. Classic Design won his maiden here when last seen and could have more to offer on his handicap bow, while others to note include Storm Ahead and Gabrials Boy.
Prediction : 1st Snow Ocean 2nd Classic Design 3rd Storm Ahead
