PETE THE BRIEF appeared to relish a step up in trip when winning over the mile at Redcar last month and the unexposed Bungle Inthejungle gelding, who has previously run well around here, is taken to double his tally from just 3lb higher. Jewel Of Kabeir finished a creditable fourth at Carlisle and a similar performance would bring her firmly into the reckoning. Andromedas Kingdom heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Pete The Brief 2nd Jewel Of Kabeir 3rd Andromedas Kingdom

Richard Hughes can do little wrong at present and Miss Anya, runner-up on two of her three career starts, is unlikely to be far away. Willolarupi brings a similar level of form to the table and it would be no surprise were he to play a leading role, though marginal preference is for ROGUE ENFORCER. The son of Profitable was able to build on a promising debut when filling the runner-up spot at Ripon and this might be good opportunity to go one better.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Enforcer 2nd Miss Anya 3rd Willolarupi

Lovely Masar makes enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check ahead of her debut, as does the Charlie Johnston-trained You'vemetyourmatch. Sovereign Queen belied odds of 100/1 when filling the runner-up spot at Leicester and any further improvement would put her in the mix. However, the vote goes to HUG A TREE. Michael Bell's filly produced two solid efforts over sprint trips earlier this season, but this step up in trip could hold the key.
Prediction : 1st Hug A Tree 2nd Lovely Masar 3rd Sovereign Queen

LADY NUNTHORPE didn't get the clearest of runs when looking to challenge in a C&D nursery last month and granted a clearer passage this time around, she may be able to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. That could come at the main expense of Reprised, who showed some promise on her debut at Southwell. A half-sister to smart handicapper Spangled Mac, newcomer Gloves must enter calculations, along with Sandown fifth Enchanting.
Prediction : 1st Lady Nunthorpe 2nd Reprised 3rd Gloves

COUNT D'ORSAY has shown enough in recent starts to suggest that he can get his head back in front, and soft ground is a major plus. One of two in the field for Tim Easterby, the seven-year-old is only 1lb above his last winning mark and gets the vote ahead of narrow Ripon winner Ey Up It's Maggie and the hat-trick-seeking Rodborough, who reverts to turf and has the assistance of Hollie Doyle in the saddle again.
Prediction : 1st Count DOrsay 2nd Ey Up Its Maggie 3rd Rodborough

16:35 Beverley

The William Haggas stable has a terrific record around here and this looks like an ideal opportunity for LOHENGRIN to get off the mark. Being a son of Ulysses, the step up in trip should be a major plus and he could have too much for Goodwood third Lope De Light and Man Of Monaco, who had Kintaro a couple of positions behind him when runner-up on debut at Carlisle.
Prediction : 1st Lohengrin 2nd Man Of Monaco 3rd Lope De Light

17:10 Beverley

PARK STREET appeared to relish the extended 1m distance when winning with something in hand at this venue earlier in the month and the step up to 1m2f may unlock further improvement. Contrast returned to form with a second-placed effort at Pontefract and may give the selection most to think about off only 1lb higher. Panama City and Dandy's Angel have also been running well enough of late to warrant a second look.
Prediction : 1st Park Street 2nd Contrast 3rd Panama City

BAY OF NAPLES escapes a penalty after claiming the spoils in an apprentice handicap at Leicester last week and must hold every chance of completing a quickfire double. Dual C&D winner Billy Roberts arrives in good heart judged on the veteran's runner-up effort at Ripon last month and is feared most, ahead of Letaba, who should appreciate a return to this distance.
Prediction : 1st Bay Of Naples 2nd Billy Roberts 3rd Letaba
