East Tyrone disappointed on fast going at Beverley last time, although better can be expected here and he's preferred to stablemate Lucius Aurelius. The remaining trio are all newcomers to note, with MR COOL taken to edge out Death Or Glory and Milford in a tight contest, given that Charlie Johnston's colt is a full-brother to a couple of Listed winners.
Prediction : 1st Mr Cool 2nd Death Or Glory 3rd Milford

EBONY MAW scored over this trip at Ayr last month when fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time. He made all to beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and can defy a 2lb rise with the promise of more come. Bustaam showed signs of a return to form when third at Haydock and can go well again, while Two Auld Pals returns to the Flat having won over hurdles in March and is preferred to stablemate Jaminoz.
Prediction : 1st Ebony Maw 2nd Two Auld Pals 3rd Bustaam

Judgementofsolomon has been raised 7lb for winning a lower grade contest at Wolverhampton, while Doncaster winner Contacto went close to landing a double when just missing out at Chester last time. The latter looks sure to make his presence felt once again, but LOVE SAFARI arrives on the back of a promising reappearance at Newcastle when just failing to catch the winner. Further progress can be expected now handicapping for the first time and he gets the vote.
Prediction : 1st Love Safari 2nd Contacto 3rd Judgementofsolomon

Catherine Chroi has won five of her seven starts since joining Iain Jardine and is a key player. However, the mare is upped in class here and a new mark of 73 demands yet another personal best. With that in mind, a chance if taken on LAHAB, who is open to a great deal of improvement on just his third start over this trip. Last-time-out winners Iris Dancer and Havana Rum also command respect.
Prediction : 1st Lahab 2nd Catherine Chroi 3rd Iris Dancer

Already a four-time course winner, ARKENSTAAR held on gamely to score over C&D 24 days ago and his will to win earns him the vote off just 1lb higher. Black Friday was third in that race and has to be feared given his was less than a length behind the selection at the line. Recent Ayr winner Vellner also needs serious consideration despite being 3lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Arkenstaar 2nd Black Friday 3rd Vellner

LEDGER (first) and We Still Believe (second) were the first two across the line in a similar race over the extended mile here 12 days ago and, given the former wasn't showing any signs of stopping, he can cement his authority and follow up off just a 4lb higher mark. There could also be more to come from Sea Girt, who reverts to turf on a handy mark and warrants close inspection in the betting on his first start back after wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Ledger 2nd We Still Believe 3rd Sea Girt
