Runner-up in a more competitive novice event at Leicester at the end of May, SIMPLY BLUE is very hard to oppose given that run sets a high standard as the winner was thought good enough to subsequently contest the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. Heading the list of dangers is Cape Sovereign and Kevn Ryan's representative should be seriously considered if supported in the betting. Stablemates Urban Sky and Sealine are others to monitor closely too.
Prediction : 1st Simply Blue 2nd Cape Sovereign 3rd Urban Sky

INDIVIDUALISM has contested deeper races than this and, with the trip and forecast ground ideal, he looks worth chancing on his first start back after being gelded. Untried over this trip but a potential improver, Jonny Concrete also drops back down in class and is feared after a respectable third-placed finish over 7f at Haydock last month. Miaswell won over a mile at that same venue when last seen and enters calculations off 6lb higher. Recent C&D winner Rose Branch has the same burden but looks vulnerable this time.
Prediction : 1st Individualism 2nd Jonny Concrete 3rd Miaswell

Pisanello returned to form in a competitive handicap at York last month and could go well despite being burdened with a 4lb higher mark, while Repertoire and Aragon Castle both score highly for reliability and have to enter calculations. However, preference is for JAMES MCHENRY, whose best form has arguably been posted when encountering a stiff finish and the topweight can cement his authority in this company.
Prediction : 1st James McHenry 2nd Pisanello 3rd Repertoire

The key to this race looks to be last month's clash over C&D between Jordan Electrics (first) and WINTER CROWN (second), with preference for the latter on this occasion. Julie Camacho's charge is 7lb better off for a half-length defeat and can gain a first success since this time last year. Narrowly denied at Ayr last time out, Sacred Falls is another to consider, as well as Catterick scorer Animate.
Prediction : 1st Winter Crown 2nd Jordan Electrics 3rd Sacred Falls

Runner-up on both starts here this season, VICTORY SHOUT is much better than what he showed at Thirsk last time out, and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways. Dunstan was ahead of the selection when last seen and can improve on that first run for the Tom Dascombe team, while Percy Shelley should find this grade much easier for his shrewd connections.
Prediction : 1st Victory Shout 2nd Dunstan 3rd Percy Shelley

LADY BOUQUET scored in dominant fashion at Beverley in an apprentice handicap a week ago and the booking of William Buick is a major plus on this occasion. John Kirkup can give her the most to think about on the drop in trip, having run with credit of late over further, while Tees Douge shaped with encouragement when fourth at Doncaster last month.
Prediction : 1st Lady Bouquet 2nd John Kirkup 3rd Tees Douge
