Island Bear only found one too good on his first outing at Haydock and could take a step forward. Labiche is an interesting newcomer who is related to a few winners, but he might improve as he steps up in distance and VICTORIOUS ONE gets the vote. Ralph Beckett's colt shaped with bundles of promise when occupying the runner-up berth over 6f at Goodwood and the son of Siyouni will relish this extra furlong.
Prediction : 1st Victorious One 2nd Island Bear 3rd Labiche

Street Life hasn't finished out of the frame in any of his last five starts, most recently taking the silver medal home at Wolverhampton, and he has to be considered. However, BLIND BEGGAR finished ninth in the Dash at Epsom earlier in the month and will appreciate this drop in grade. The seven-year-old lurks on an appealing rating and he could be the one to beat. Coup De Force is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Blind Beggar 2nd Street Life 3rd Coup De Force

Nifty progressed from her introduction when third here to justify odds-on favouritism in good style at Chelmsford and is one to watch out for. However, she has a penalty and is passed over in favour of WOJTEK, who ran green when filling the runner-up spot over C&D. With that experience under his belt, he could take a big leap forward to strike. Comic Hero would have learned a lot from his seventh on debut at Bath and isn't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Wojtek 2nd Nifty 3rd Comic Hero

Montpellier made it two wins from two starts when on target at Newbury last month. Both of those victories have come over 7f, though, and he will need to prove himself at this shorter trip. He still merits respect, but it is DARK THIRTY who shades preference. Second in a warm class 2 at York, he remains well handicapped from 1lb higher and is fancied to go one place better. Haydock scorer Kodi Lion can prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dark Thirty 2nd Montpellier 3rd Kodi Lion

ASMEN WARRIOR has shown plenty of ability across his five career starts and this looks an excellent opportunity to break the maiden tag. A close-up fourth in a 0-95 handicap at York, dropping back into maiden company should aid his cause and first-time cheekpieces are another potential source of improvement. Wootton Bassett filly Requisite hasn't been seen since October but she will appreciate a step up in trip and must enter calculations, despite the absence. Only One Blue is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Asmen Warrior 2nd Requisite 3rd Only One Blue

16:58 Salisbury

Tremorgio wasn't disgraced when finishing third in a decent class 2 novice at Southwell in April and must enter calculations on his handicap bow. However, PATSY SNUGFIT is slightly more compelling after shaping better than her fourth over 1m2f here suggests, and she may take some stopping if dictating the pace over this distance. Cape Breton might fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Patsy Snugfit 2nd Tremorgio 3rd Cape Breton

Having made a mockery of her opening mark at Nottingham three weeks ago, SOUL DANCE rates as one to follow. Although the assessor has reacted with a 10lb hike, Andrew Balding's filly looks capable of better. The biggest threat could emerge from the down-in-class Invincible Duke, who has posted two creditable efforts in defeat since entering handicap company. Too Don Juan should appreciate this return to a mile.
Prediction : 1st Soul Dance 2nd Invincible Duke 3rd Too Don Juan
