On target over an extended 1m3f at Windsor in May, QUIETNESS got away with a drop in trip when following up at Salisbury last month. A subsequent 3lb rise doesn't look beyond the unexposed four-year-old and, with a step up in trip in her favour, she can complete the hat-trick. Dance Time was in good form on the all-weather when last seen and must enter calculations ahead of her reappearance, while Arctic Fox completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Quietness 2nd Dance Time 3rd Arctic Fox

Secret Mistral surged back to form with a commanding C&D triumph last month and, although she merits respect in her bid to follow up, FAHRENHEIT SEVEN is preferred. He shaped with promise on his handicap bow recently and, though a drop to the minimum trip might not be ideal, there should be a decent pace to aim at and the long straight will suit. Dashing Harry and Nogo's Dream are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Fahrenheit Seven 2nd Secret Mistral 3rd Dashing Harry

RAISON D'ETRE caught the eye when keeping on for third at York on her racecourse bow last month. The daughter of Bated Breath ought to improve for that initial experience and she can strike at the second time of asking. Miss Hathaway was narrowly denied at Thirsk last time out and she merits respect on that evidence. 130,000gns purchase Definitive and the Ollie Sangster-trained Ecology also warrant a market check ahead of their respective debuts.
Prediction : 1st Raison Detre 2nd Miss Hathaway 3rd Definitive

ALBERT CEE could not have won any easier on his debut for new connections at Chepstow last month, and a 10lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent him from making it three wins from his last four starts. Slightly unlucky when not getting a clear run and eventually keeping on for third at York last time, Tiriac can give the selection the most to think about, ahead of last-time-out C&D scorer Grant Wood. Others to note include Equiano Springs, Hyperfocus and Raatea.
Prediction : 1st Albert Cee 2nd Tiriac 3rd Grant Wood

Stepping up to 7f may be just what the doctor ordered for JORGE ALVARES, who has been slightly outpaced on both career outings so far over 6f before rallying late in the piece. The form of the Kevin Ryan stable is another plus and he can see off the likes of promising Doncaster third Sir Paul Ramsey, as well as Olympus Point, a costly Godolphin-owned newcomer who is closely related to multiple Group 1 winner Blue Point. A penalty will make things a lot tougher for Cavallo Bay following a comfortable victory at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Jorge Alvares 2nd Sir Paul Ramsey 3rd Olympus Point

KODE SECRET proved his versatility when scoring on quick ground at Redcar recently, and Tim Easterby's charge continues to go from strength to strength. The son of Kodiac is 2lb well-in and he may have too much for unexposed handicap debutant Smouldering, who did it well when taking command late in the day at Kempton. Mostar Dreams recorded a narrow success at Carlisle last month and she is another to consider from a 3lb raised mark.
Prediction : 1st Kode Secret 2nd Smouldering 3rd Mostar Dreams
