Silver Nightfall showed plenty of promise when finishing a good second on her racecourse bow at Yarmouth, but she is also declared to run at Newmarket on Wednesday. Therefore, preference is for MISS DOLLY ROCKER, who caught the eye when filling the runner-up spot on her debut at Kempton last month. She was beaten by Luckin Brew, who has since run well in Listed company, and Roger Teal's filly looks primed for another good showing. Break The Spell is related to some smart types and can improve, while Perdika is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Miss Dolly Rocker 2nd Break The Spell 3rd Perdika

13:20 Southwell

A wide-open contest in which preference is for MOSTALLIM, who steps back up in trip following his latest fourth at Chelmsford. His last run over 7f saw him fill the runner-up spot at Newcastle in August and he is capable of getting back to winning ways. Yoshimi has been running with credit in recent months and seeks further improvement on his return to the all-weather. Full Intention recorded a much-improved fourth at Kempton last time out and could also make his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Mostallim 2nd Yoshimi 3rd Full Intention

A first-time hood could see Eternal Glory improve on a decent second at Kempton earlier this month, but HIROMICHI seemed to benefit from the return to 7f at Ffos Las last month and he is taken to continue his fine run of form. Finery is another not to be underestimated having bounced back on her most recent outings since returning to the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Hiromichi 2nd Eternal Glory 3rd Finery

It's been nearly a year since Sovereign Slipper was last in action and, having been gelded since, he has questions to answer in his bid to pick up where he left off last season. The four-year-old is still on a workable mark, but the absence is a concern, so he's reluctantly passed over in favour of hardened campaigner MUSCIKA. Chief Of Staff tries a visor for the first time and is highly respected, while Dark Side Thunder still has scope and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Muscika 2nd Sovereign Slipper 3rd Chief Of Staff

AHLAWI hasn't won since landing a novice event on the Polytrack at Chelmsford as a juvenile, but he showed some promise in two previous starts for locally-based trainer Scott Dixon. The yard has a healthy strike-rate at this track and, assuming the gelding copes with the switch to Tapeta, their representative could well be the surprise package in a race where many have something to prove. Twilight Secret drops back in trip after fading over 7f in an apprentice race at Newcastle last month. He completes the shortlist alongside Palifico and Hail Sezer, who both won last time out and still hold scope to make further progress.
Prediction : 1st Ahlawi 2nd Twilight Secret 3rd Palifico

It might be worth chancing a small investment in ANNIE MAHER being able to make the most of the 5lb fillies' allowance she receives from Banddar, who jointly helps to set the standard to aim at. The selection returned from a 51-day break with a respectable effort at Haydock last month and can be expected to be a lot sharper with a visor applied for the first time. The drop in trip is also expected to suit her more than Banddar judged on breeding. Canadian Fire is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Annie Maher 2nd Banddar 3rd Canadian Fire

16:15 Southwell

Marginal preference is for STREET LIFE, who may have disappointed here last time but was in excellent form before that, including a comfortable win over C&D in August. Ooh Is It has run with credit since returning from a summer break and he is likely to be thereabouts, alongside Giogiobbo, who has won two of his last three. Lipsink and Soul Seeker can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Street Life 2nd Ooh Is It 3rd Giogiobbo

16:50 Southwell

An easy winner over C&D on his penultimate start, YAGAN disappointed since when not getting the clearest of runs at Chelmsford, but it can pay to keep the faith here for a stable that excels with staying types. Tibbie Dunbar arrives with a similar profile and can go close, as can The Dancing Poet, who is one of the more consistent sorts in the line-up. Others to note include Kalahari Prince, Kitten's Dream and Vaynor.
Prediction : 1st Yagan 2nd Tibbie Dunbar 3rd The Dancing Poet

17:25 Southwell

Revoquable is bound to be popular here following an emphatic success over C&D on his most recent outing. Preference, however, is for BACK FROM DUBAI, who has only once been outside the first three in his last five starts and almost made all over C&D last month. The five-year-old loves it around here and he should have too much for the likes of Gold Standard, who may not be suited by the drop in trip, and Available Angel.
Prediction : 1st Back From Dubai 2nd Revoquable 3rd Gold Standard
