MOONSTONE BOY recently posted an improved effort when runner-up at Musselburgh and a reproduction of that performance now eased in class may suffice. Kandy House is the only other rival to have raced and is a potential improver, but newcomer Golden Mind, a half-brother to Group 1 winner Perfect Power, could prove the biggest threat. Richard Fahey's colt possesses plenty of speed in his pedigree and any support in the market would increase interest.
Prediction : 1st Moonstone Boy 2nd Golden Mind 3rd Kandy House

QUINTUS ARRIUS was headed in the dying strides on his handicap debut at Pontefract earlier in the month and he looks capable of defying a 4lb rise in the ratings. Hour By Hour appeared too keen to see out the 7f trip at Leicester and this C&D winner isn't to be taken lightly, while Mereside Diva arrives in good heart and is another to consider stepping up in class.
Prediction : 1st Quintus Arrius 2nd Hour By Hour 3rd Mereside Diva

MY LITTLE QUEENS' stamina appeared stretched by the 1m2f trip in underfoot conditions when runner-up at Doncaster last month and with conditions unlikely to be too dissimilar here, the drop to 1m1f could prove the tonic. Casilli recorded a career-best performance when successful at Beverley in July and the six-year-old mare could have a say in proceedings now only 4lb higher on her return. The lightly-raced Zarabanda makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st My Little Queens 2nd Casilli 3rd Zarabanda

Ravenglass could surprise a few from the bottom of the weights, but he may still struggle to cope with PISANELLO, who was beaten less than a length when second on his return in the Thirsk Hunt Cup, despite making a slow start. Only put up 1lb for that effort, he may prove too good for these, while Dutch Decoy is yet to taste defeat at the track after two starts and is another for the shortlist following a solid effort at Newmarket last Saturday.
Prediction : 1st Pisanello 2nd Ravenglass 3rd Dutch Decoy

Jordan Electrics has won here three times and arrives in good form after a win at Ayr earlier in the month, but he does need a career best off this mark and preference is for the hat-trick seeking SPOOF. A winner at Windsor and Ascot, he does have an extra 5lb from the handicapper now, but Billy Loughnane claims 3lb back, and a good draw in stall one may negate the rest. Huddle Up and Object could fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Spoof 2nd Jordan Electrics 3rd Huddle Up

World Without Love may be running on through beaten horses over this reduced trip and she could yet pick them off for a place, but first prize may go to one of Musselburgh winner Fairmac, or the rapidly improving MISTER CAMACHO, who hacked up at Catterick last month. The four-year-old gets 5lb from his rival here and that may just about be enough to see him come out on top.
Prediction : 1st Mister Camacho 2nd Fairmac 3rd World Without Love

FAYLAQ caught the eye when finishing a good second over 1m5f here a week ago. The drop in trip unlikely to pose an issue and he could make amends down in class. Don't Look Back remains relatively unexposed in this sphere and is one to keep onside, having been narrowly denied over C&D on his latest outing. Croeso Cymraeg is entitled to be thereabouts, while Irish-raider Derry Lad should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Faylaq 2nd Dont Look Back 3rd Croeso Cymraeg
