This looks like an ideal opportunity for VIXEY to finally get off the mark, having been runner-up on her last two starts in handicap company. That experience should stand in her good stead and the three-year-old may have too much for Southwell second Evening Story and Sidney's Son, who is a key player based on the pick of his form. Newcomer Teddy's Dawn and Mount King can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Vixey 2nd Evening Story 3rd Sidneys Son

STAR PLAYER hasn't quite clicked since joining new connections, but he was unlucky in the run when challenging a furlong from home at Chester last month and better can be expected now. The son of Zoffany remains on a favourable mark and he is narrowly preferred to recent Leicester winner Young Fire, who may need softer conditions to be seen at his best. Give It Some Teddy and Painters Palette are leading contenders too.
Prediction : 1st Star Player 2nd Young Fire 3rd Painters Palette

This can go the way of VACCINE, who got up late on to score at Pontefract last month, and a mere 2lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him going in again. A relatively consistent sort this season and narrowly denied at Leicester most recently, Shaladar can give him the most to think about. Thirsk scorer Vondelpark is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Vaccine 2nd Shaladar 3rd Vondelpark

It is entirely feasible that FAST AND LOOSE went off too quickly when he tried to make all of the running at Ayr last time and, with ground conditions unlikely to inconvenience him, he looks worth another chance. The gelding's solid effort when second in last season's Bronze Cup at the same venue reads well in the context of this race and a repeat would make him hard to beat. Aplomb also appeals based on his peak efforts, while Glorious Angel and Ventura Express are noted too.
Prediction : 1st Fast And Loose 2nd Aplomb 3rd Glorious Angel

BASHOLO has steadily dropped in the ratings over the last 12 months and, while she finds it tough going in handicaps, this race presents Stella Barclay's filly with a good opportunity to make a belated return to winning ways. Her sole previous success came over 5f and, with that in mind, she has nothing to fear dropping to the minimum distance. Mrs Bagerran has been expensive to follow but is another with a likable profile at this level. Birdie Bowers and James Watt complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Basholo 2nd Mrs Bagerran 3rd Birdie Bowers

RIBKANA's latest run for second over 1m2f was a step in the right direction and the daughter of Ribchester is taken to progress here. She was headed inside the final furlong that day and should not be underestimated dropping in distance. Others of interest include Fortuitous Star, who retains the mark from a decent third over 6f at Ripon last month, and handicap debutant Brookie Cookie.
Prediction : 1st Ribkana 2nd Fortuitous Star 3rd Brookie Cookie

Only narrowly denied over this distance at Nottingham in June, this could go the way of FUNKY TOWN PINKIE. She seemed to appreciate the return to turf on that occasion and, with further improvement not ruled out, she gets the vote ahead of the class-dropping Yasmin From York. The relatively unexposed Michael's Pledge is another to consider in first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Funky Town Pinkie 2nd Yasmin From York 3rd Michaels Pledge
