BRUNELLO BREEZE arrives here having won two of his last three starts and a 6lb rise for the most recent of those victories, which came over C&D, may not be enough to stop him. That said, Asgard's Captain is another with strong form claims and he appears to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Loom Large and Red Treasure.
Prediction : 1st Brunello Breeze 2nd Asgards Captain 3rd Loom Large

MARMADUKE LEMON took a big step forward from his debut when a narrow second over 7f at Wolverhampton 13 days ago and he could go one better if finding further progression. True Promise dead-heated for the victory on his racecourse bow over 6f at this venue last month and has to be of interest as a result. Others to note are Alreet Cha and Soldier's Class.
Prediction : 1st Marmaduke Lemon 2nd True Promise 3rd Alreet Cha

MAMALOUKA has improved since being switched to handicap company and merits the utmost respect having got off the mark over a mile at Kempton a month ago. A 2lb rise for that success appears to be fair as she may have more progression left to come. Likleman looks next best after his second over C&D 11 days ago, while Supreme Tenacity completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mamalouka 2nd Likleman 3rd Supreme Tenacity

GOOD MORNING ALEX is now 2-2 over 1m following last month's C&D success, and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to prevent the son of Land Force from completing his hat-trick. Tasmanian Legend was also on target over track and trip last time out and another bold bid looks assured from just a 2lb raised mark. Howard's Choice enters handicaps from a potentially workable mark and he appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Good Morning Alex 2nd Tasmanian Legend 3rd Howards Choice

Bobby Joe Leg is officially 3lb well-in under a 4lb penalty, having completed his hat-trick at Southwell eight days ago, and he merits the utmost respect, but the vote goes to GOBI SUNSET. A staying-on second over 6f on his latest outing, he can go one better now dropped in class and upped in trip, with a high draw likely to be of benefit too. Others to note include Rory and Alexander James.
Prediction : 1st Gobi Sunset 2nd Bobby Joe Leg 3rd Rory

BONITO CAVALO has been a revelation since switching to the all-weather this month and a double penalty, amounting to 10lb, may not be enough to stop Jim Goldie's charge from lading a four-timer at this track. Behind him over C&D earlier in the month was Beneficiary (second), who has improved to score twice here since in classified contests and he looks the biggest threat. Bernie The Bear and Yazaman are capable of being in the shake-up.
Prediction : 1st Bonito Cavalo 2nd Beneficiary 3rd Bernie The Bear

The veteran ROCKLEY POINT has been knocking on the door of late and this looks like an ideal opportunity for him to regain the winning thread. The 11-year-old has a wealth of experience around here and that may be enough to see off Sherdil and Tantastic, who has been running with credit since joining new connections. Completing the shortlist are Another Angel, Joshua R and Street Life.
Prediction : 1st Rockley Point 2nd Sherdil 3rd Tantastic
