A case can be made for most of these but none more so than BRUNO'S GOLD, who remains unexposed and he is only 3lb higher than when winning over this trip at Ayr last month. Study The Stars is an obvious threat to the selection having readily accounted for Fast Steps under this rider at Newbury last time, while Sophosc is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Brunos Gold 2nd Study The Stars 3rd Sophosc

BONNY ANGEL improved for her debut experience when finishing third over 6f at Newbury last month and that form was boosted when the winner won the Molecomb last week, while the fourth has also won since. With that in mind, the daughter of Harry Angel merits the utmost respect. Bailey Gate also took a step forward when last seen at Ascot and it would be no surprise to see him go well. Miss Attitude was not disgraced over C&D a couple of weeks ago and she completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bonny Angel 2nd Bailey Gate 3rd Miss Attitude

A maiden that has been won by the likes of Westover and Too Darn Hot in recent years and DESERT ORDER could add his name to the illustrious roll of honour. Charlie Appleby's colt displayed plenty of promise when finishing third on debut in another maiden that is traditionally very strong at Newmarket a month ago. The fourth and fifth from that race have both won since, which suggests this son of Dubawi could be hard to beat. That said, Arrest also caught the eye on his racecourse debut over 7f at this track two weeks ago. He was held up in a contest that was dominated by those who raced more prominently and he should only benefit from the experience. High Honour, who is a stablemate of the selection, is a newcomer to note having cost 900,000gns as a yearling and he is closely related to the Group 2 winner Eminent.
Prediction : 1st Desert Order 2nd Arrest 3rd High Honour

Maytree Respite and Cosmic Desert are closely matched on their C&D clash 15 days ago and both are respected here, while Conservative also has a chance with first-time blinkers applied. However, handicap debutant FRANTASTIC looks well worth another chance despite disappointing in a Group 3 here on his seasonal reappearance in April. He impressed as a two-year-old and an opening mark of 87 may underestimate his ability.
Prediction : 1st Frantastic 2nd Maytree Respite 3rd Cosmic Desert

MARLAY PARK was a determined winner over this trip at Epsom last time and a 2lb rise might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Majestic Fighter raced keenly before weakening over 1m at Leicester most recently so a drop in trip may help him, while Global Esteem also merits consideration stepping back down the class ladder after finishing third at Ascot.
Prediction : 1st Marlay Park 2nd Majestic Fighter 3rd Global Esteem

20:18 Sandown

Island Bandit readily made all when equipped with first-time blinkers (worn again tonight) at Newbury recently and he warrants respect off a 5lb higher mark, while Crystal Casque merits consideration having hit the crossbar on her last couple of starts. However, receiving weight off both here, FULFILLED gets the nod. He has improved since switching to handicap company and won with enough in hand at Newmarket last time to suggest that he can defy a 3lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Fulfilled 2nd Island Bandit 3rd Crystal Casque
