Alazwar wasn't beaten far in a 0-82 handicap last week and he warrants plenty of respect in this lesser event, while Mrs Meader and At Liberty also hold solid claims. The vote, however, goes to LENNY'S SPIRIT, who is just 3lb higher than when winning over C&D two starts ago. He wasn't far behind a subsequent dual winner at Pontefract when last seen and another bold bid beckons under Sophie Smith, who knows him well having been on board the last twice.
Prediction : 1st Lennys Spirit 2nd Alazwar 3rd Mrs Meader

Royal Elysian sets a decent standard and has an obvious chance stepping up a furlong in trip. However, she has looked far from straightforward in both starts to date and might be worth taking on with newcomer HOT FASHION. Closely related to the high-class Arabian Queen, she is certainly bred to have plenty of ability and her stable have been amongst the winners of late. Jockey bookings would suggest that Wren House is Andrew Balding's leading hope and any market support for her could well be worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Hot Fashion 2nd Royal Elysian 3rd Wren House

BE PREPARED arrives in great form, backing up a narrow Brighton defeat with a comfortable success at Epsom, and a further 4lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him. Given he was once rated 20lb higher than his current mark, he still looks very dangerous now that he has got his form back. Zoukster is less exposed and merits respect, although the handicapper may be catching up with him. Wizarding may get involved if first-time cheekpieces work some magic.
Prediction : 1st Be Prepared 2nd Zoukster 3rd Wizarding

A C&D winner last October when holding off the reopposing Russian Rumour (second), TIN FANDANGO has been running into form of late and his most recent effort at Chepstow, when narrowly denied, was very encouraging. Tarbat Ness had been running consistently well before a disappointing effort at Wetherby and he must be one of the chief threats, as well as Cinnodin, who could easily improve for the rise in distance.
Prediction : 1st Tin Fandango 2nd Russian Rumour 3rd Cinnodin

RANGER THUNDERBOLT was a revelation on his handicap debut here earlier in the month and the step back up in trip could eke out further improvement as he looks to follow up off a 2lb higher mark. Expert Witness improved for going up in trip when not beaten far at Leicester a month ago and she must enter calculations, along with Chester Tonik and Lunar Landscape.
Prediction : 1st Ranger Thunderbolt 2nd Expert Witness 3rd Lunar Landscape

This can go the way of TYPICAL WOMAN, who deservedly got back to winning ways when scoring comfortably over an extended 1m3f at Haydock last time out. The four-year-old ran well over course and distance in May as well and she should have too much for the recent Epsom winner Daphne May. Alchemystique and Silverscape are also entitled to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Typical Woman 2nd Daphne May 3rd Alchemystique
