Schilthorn is interesting on his handicap debut, with the possibility he will improve for a switch to the Polytrack. However, FOUR FEET won at Wolverhampton and then Lingfield on the all-weather, before finding rain-affected conditions all against him at Leicester. He may well bounce back to winning ways on this surface, while recent Lingfield scorer Sandy Paradise will be finishing well again despite an added 5lb from the handicapper.
Prediction : 1st Four Feet 2nd Sandy Paradise 3rd Schilthorn

Caph Star started slowly when sent off favourite on his Ffos Las debut, but he ran on into third and should do better with a level break, so could reverse the form with runner-up Al Agaila. Both might be vying for a place if BORDER EDGE goes forward after a much-improved six-length triumph at Nottingham. That was just his second start and the son of Shamardal may be able to shrug off his winner's penalty to follow up.
Prediction : 1st Border Edge 2nd Caph Star 3rd Al Agaila

Maghlaak is a beautifully-bred newcomer, but racecourse experience counts and Nottingham winner MOON WATCH may have the edge. He was slowly away that day and showed signs of greenness but still got up to win by a neck, with the likelihood there is a lot more to come. He does have to give 6lb or more to all of his rivals and they may be headed by Okeechobee, who was a promising second at Wolverhampton despite pulling too hard.
Prediction : 1st Moon Watch 2nd Okeechobee 3rd Maghlaak

Lope De Vega colt SILVER KNOTT has every chance of building on a promising fourth at Newbury on his racecourse debut. He represents a top stable, is out of a mare who won at the highest level, and he is fancied to make it second-time lucky. New Endeavour has made a pleasing start to his career and was a decent third over this trip at Haydock. Pavise is an interesting newcomer and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Silver Knott 2nd New Endeavour 3rd Pavise

GIDWA's rating is unchanged following a promising second at Wolverhampton and, given he was successful on his sole outing over this C&D (albeit off a 10lb lower mark), a return to this track could spark additional enthusiasm into the three-year-old. Kingofhell has first-time blinkers for his return to the all-weather and must be feared now 1lb higher than his last winning figure. Alooqaal is another to note dropping in trip on his UK bow.
Prediction : 1st Gidwa 2nd Kingofhell 3rd Alooqaal

Dignified recorded an encouraging second here on debut, but a subsequent step up to 1m4f seemed too hot for her to handle. Therefore, preference is for the Sir Michael Stoute-trained LOVE SOMEONE, who kept on to get second on her most recent run over this C&D in June. She is a full-sister to the useful A Star Above, who came on for his first two runs to secure a double over this trip, so more could be to come from this progressive filly. Royal Scandal can also make her presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Love Someone 2nd Dignified 3rd Royal Scandal

20:20 Kempton

Strawberri drops in class and could make her presence felt, while Napper Tandy also merits consideration returning to a venue where he readily won on his only previous visit. Vanity Affair isn't out of it either, but DUKE OF VERONA gets the vote under Ryan Moore. He arguably produced a career-best performance when winning over 1m6f at Sandown last time and dropping back in trip shouldn't pose him any problems.
Prediction : 1st Duke Of Verona 2nd Strawberri 3rd Napper Tandy

20:50 Kempton

VINO VICTRIX likes it here and the form of his C&D second last time took a massive boost when the winner Master Milliner came out and struck at Glorious Goodwood. A 2lb rise is fair and he can give weight and a beating to these rivals. Murau has won two of his three starts so far this year and remains open to further improvement, while Dance To Paris and Diamond Bay are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Vino Victrix 2nd Murau 3rd Dance To Paris
