There has been no stopping CHIEF BLACK ROBE of late and an 8lb raised mark for his latest 18-length success last time looks unlikely to hold him back in his bid for a four-timer. Fergal O'Brien's inmate can mount another bold bid stepping up in distance and he is fancied to get the better of last-time-out C&D winner Tiger Orchid, who has gone up 6lb for that success. Hardy Boy completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Chief Black Robe 2nd Tiger Orchid 3rd Hardy Boy

Pottlerath has been highly progressive this term and the gelded son of Yeats steps up in class following a comfortable success over 3m at Bangor last month. However, a tentative vote is given to KAUTO THE KING, who finished a fair third over 2m5f at Newton Abbot most recently and can improve off 2lb lower. The consistent Lermoos Legend also warrants a market check following a staying-on third over 2m last time out.
Prediction : 1st Kauto The King 2nd Pottlerath 3rd Lermoos Legend

THIRTYFOUR THIRTY was only narrowly denied on his racecourse debut over C&D last month and a reproduction of that effort can see him firmly in the picture here. His dam was a Listed bumper winner and it is likely he has more to offer with that in mind. His chief dangers look to be Rules debutants Ballela Blaze and Tribal Glory, both whom arrive following easy point-to-points wins earlier in the year.
Prediction : 1st Thirtyfour Thirty 2nd Ballela Blaze 3rd Tribal Glory

SOLDAT FORTE has been hugely consistent since beginning his career in this sphere and recent efforts have suggested that a step up in trip may eke out further improvement. If so, the six-year-old may have too much for the slightly unlucky Ike Sport, who has been runner-up on three of his last four outings. A winner here over shorter in May, Baikal can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Soldat Forte 2nd Ike Sport 3rd Baikal

Not beaten far over C&D on her handicap debut last month, there is a possibility that THREE MACKS may get her way out in front this time around as she looks to break the maiden at the seventh time of asking. A winner of two of her last three starts, Vision Of Hope can give her the most to think about, along with My Poem, who has run well fresh in the past.
Prediction : 1st Three Macks 2nd Vision Of Hope 3rd My Poem

RUBYS REWARD has shown an improved level of form on her last couple of starts and the booking of Harry Cobden might help to make the difference required for her to gain a second career victory. Karavomylos got off the mark at Uttoxeter on his most recent outing and has to enter calculations off a 3lb higher mark. Racing Spirit and Ya Know Yaseff appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Rubys Reward 2nd Karavomylos 3rd Racing Spirit

HOLLOW RON benefited from stepping up in trip when scoring for the first time at Uttoxeter last month and the application of cheekpieces for the first time may yield further progression. Jack The Farmer has been knocking on the door recently and he is likely to enter calculations once again, while Robbie Dazzler is capable of building on his recent fourth at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Hollow Ron 2nd Jack The Farmer 3rd Robbie Dazzler
