Cable Beach showed good resolution to get off the mark over C&D, although that form isn't the strongest and VON KROLOCK is preferred. The ex-Irish six-year-old has shown steady improvement since joining James Owen, culminating with a Wolverhampton success, and the visor that seemed to do the trick there is retained. Bad Habits was a close-up third behind Cable Beach before filling the same position at Chelmsford, and Overlooked is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Von Krolock 2nd Cable Beach 3rd Bad Habits

Baker Blue put together a sequence of solid efforts for Jessica Harrington and sold for 31,000gns after finishing second at Down Royal. His official rating of 83 possibly flatters him, though, and FIREWALKER won't need to be a star to make a successful debut. The Kingman colt cost 360,000gns as a foal and has an entry in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. There was some promise to take from Mr Juggles' debut fourth over C&D so he can't be ruled out with confidence.
Prediction : 1st Firewalker 2nd Baker Blue 3rd Mr Juggles

TEN CARAT HARRY continued on his upward curve and maintained his unbeaten all-weather record when accounting for Eternal Solace and One And Gone in a tight finish over C&D. He is marginally worse off at the weights, but his good attitude and appetite for a battle can help him confirm his superiority. Wisetanck came within a neck of breaking through on his nursery debut at Kempton, on the same day that Victor Cee finished third at Wolverhampton, and both must be respected.
Prediction : 1st Ten Carat Harry 2nd Eternal Solace 3rd Wisetanck

PARADISE WALK's pedigree is all about speed and she showed plenty of dash on her Chelmsford debut, only to be pipped by a rival with previous experience. The winner has since gone close to following up and is now rated 87 so Ralph Beckett's juvenile, who should relish the drop from 7f, is expected to get off the mark. Cherry Baker has shown a decent level of form and will also be happier down at 6f, while 80,000gns Acclamation filly Egotistical is an interesting newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Paradise Walk 2nd Cherry Baker 3rd Egotistical

Urban Road is expected to run his usual honest race in this handicap off top weight, while fellow C&D winner Down To The Kid is another who has rarely run poorly this year. RENESMEE might have their measure, though, as she couldn't have won any easier when switched to the all-weather at Chelmsford last month and may have a bit more in the locker.
Prediction : 1st Renesmee 2nd Urban Road 3rd Down To The Kid

ZOULU WARRIOR couldn't justify favouritism at Wolverhampton, but still performed well to be beaten less than a length into second behind the reopposing No Knee Never. He might not need much more in order to go one better because he's 5lb better off when taking into account the winner's penalty. Angel Of England also took the silver medal home on his latest start at Newcastle and commands respect given that looked a good piece of form behind a progressive sprinter.
Prediction : 1st Zoulu Warrior 2nd Angel Of England 3rd No Knee Never

MOOSTAR was back to something like her best when beaten a neck into second at Chelmsford last time out and boasts every chance if she's able to back that performance up. She's not the most consistent, though, which gives hope to her rivals and Raft Up will be fancied by many to at least make the frame. C&D winner Neptune Legend is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Moostar 2nd Raft Up 3rd Neptune Legend

A winner on turf from 1lb lower in August, ZIGGY'S TRITON has gone well over this C&D before and looks worth another chance from a still feasible rating. Sam's Hope (winner) comfortably held Popular Dream (third) in an encounter over track and trip last month but might struggle to uphold the form, as the latter has a 7lb pull on the revised terms. Winchurch could be interesting for each-way purposes after a luckless run here last week.
Prediction : 1st Ziggys Triton 2nd Winchurch 3rd Sams Hope

17:22 Southwell

DAMASCUS STEEL has to shoulder top weight in the finale, but might be up to the task if building on a second at Wolverhampton. It wasn't a bad effort when fourth at Kempton either and this could be his turn. Dust Cover is open to more improvement and comes in here on the back of a C&D success, so heads the list of dangers from Time Turner.
Prediction : 1st Damascus Steel 2nd Dust Cover 3rd Time Turner
