Many of these have scope for further improvement, so only a tentative vote can go to PALAZZO PERSICO. Ed Dunlop's gelding was narrowly denied on his handicap debut last time and a subsequent 2lb rise in the ratings should not prevent him from mounting another stern challenge. St Lukes Chelsea, who finished a creditable third at Yarmouth 25 days ago, can make his presence felt back on an artificial surface. Any market support for Maverick Style should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Palazzo Persico 2nd St Lukes Chelsea 3rd Maverick Style

Charlie Appleby is operating at a 31-percent strike-rate with his juveniles on the all-weather (4-13) this season and ROYAL POWER could enhance that record today. The Goldolphin-owned son of Frankel is bred in the purple and might not have to be anything special to make a winning debut in this company. Flag Carrier ran a cracker to finish second at odds of 125/1 over this C&D last month and he should not be far away with further progress on the cards. Others to note include American Bay and Kings Valley.
Prediction : 1st Royal Power 2nd Flag Carrier 3rd American Bay

WESTERN had posted two solid efforts in defeat before struggling in the Goffs Million at the Curragh. However, he ought to appreciate this drop in class and the Magna Grecia colt is taken to score at the fourth time of asking. Extra Beat shaped with promise on his debut and looks a likely improver with that experience under his belt. Munasir finished down the field at Fairyhouse on his first start, but the son of Mehmas is related to a couple of all-weather winners and rates an interesting contender now switched to an artificial surface.
Prediction : 1st Western 2nd Extra Beat 3rd Munasir

Britannica arrives with something to prove following her recent second at Chester where she was comprehensively put in her place. That said, she was returning to the track for the first time since May and may be entitled to step forward from that display, but the vote goes to DAYDREAM EXPRESS. Third on debut at Newcastle, the daughter of Kingman is likely to have benefited plenty from the experience gained and is expected to be sharper on this occasion. Minka and Summer Of Love appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Daydream Express 2nd Britannica 3rd Minka

ENCHANTED LIFE makes a fair amount of appeal on her racecourse debut, having cost 475,000gns at Tattersalls Book 1, and the full-sister to Gifted Master. who was a Group 3 winner as a juvenile, gets the nod. Topanga boasts a smart pedigree and has to be respected, while Lumiere D'or displayed signs of greenness when filling the runner-up spot on her first start at Southwell and is likely to step forward on this occasion.
Prediction : 1st Enchanted Life 2nd Topanga 3rd Lumiere Dor

The application of a first-time visor made the difference to BRASIL POWER when scoring over C&D last month and a 4lb rise is unlikely to stop him from backing up that performance. Elzaam Blue has returned to form on his last couple of starts here and another bold bid is expected, while a return to the all-weather might aid the cause of Farasi Lane.
Prediction : 1st Brasil Power 2nd Elzaam Blue 3rd Farasi Lane

19:30 Kempton

Buccabay justified favouritism in comfortable fashion over an extended 5f at Bath last time and he has to be respected off a 5lb higher rating. However, the vote goes to EXPERT AGENT as the son of Expert Eye is a C&D winner who has hit the frame the last twice off a 1lb higher rating and he could be rewarded for his recent consistency on this occasion. Conquistador completes the shortlist after his fourth at Ascot 10 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Expert Agent 2nd Buccabay 3rd Conquistador

20:00 Kempton

Typical Woman has put in some solid efforts off this mark, including when second at Haydock on her penultimate start, but she can be taken on today with the Marcus Tregoning-trained MARIE LAVEAU. The daughter of Sir Percy is still a maiden, but her effort to finish a close-up third at Chepstow off 1lb higher two starts ago reads well in context of this race and she is taken to record her first career success. Emma Emilleen steps up in distance and that could eke out more improvement.
Prediction : 1st Marie Laveau 2nd Typical Woman 3rd Emma Emilleen

20:30 Kempton

FIRST COMPANY had Oriental Spirit (fourth) behind when beaten just under two lengths into second off this rating last time and the son of Fast Company remains on an appealing mark, so he is taken to go one better this evening. The main danger appears to be Reve De Magritte, who was only beaten a neck off a 1lb lower rating over this C&D on her latest outing and she should go well once again. Haulfronhobbs was fourth at Chelmsford last month and that gives her an each-way chance.
Prediction : 1st First Company 2nd Reve De Magritte 3rd Haulfronhobbs
