Having regained the winning thread over 1m2f at Doncaster, Mariner merits respect. That said, he has yet to convince with his stamina for this trip, while fellow in-form rival Super Hit has never tried it. Although the pair could both feature if staying, four-time C&D winner STELLARMASTERPIECE is the most solid proposition. The six-year-old recorded a hat-trick over timber in recent months and is back to the mark off which she took this prize 12 months ago.
Prediction : 1st Stellarmasterpiece 2nd Mariner 3rd Super Hit

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from SO TEMPTING's second-placed nursery bow at Chepstow and compensation may beckon. The winner subsequently scored again and a 1lb nudge up the ratings for Tom Ward's filly looks lenient. Ripon third Aura Of Melania is heading in the right direction and she's feared most, ahead of Harry's Pop, who is expected to prove more competitive easing in class.
Prediction : 1st So Tempting 2nd Aura Of Melania 3rd Harrys Pop

Miss Rainbow was rewarded for some creditable efforts in defeat when landing the spoils over C&D and she's forecast to be in the thick of the action once more. However, a 4lb rise demands a career best from the five-year-old, which may leave the door open for GOOD KARMA. John Riches' gelding arrives on the back of a good third over 7f here and a drop back in trip may prove just the ticket. Papa Don't Preach is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Good Karma 2nd Miss Rainbow 3rd Papa Dont Preach

Night Shining has lots of experience to go to war with and sets the standard with an official rating of 70, but this might go to the less-exposed PREFERRED. James Tate's filly has shown ability in both of her starts so far and this drop in trip, along with the application of a first-time hood, might just work the oracle. Star Noir completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Preferred 2nd Night Shining 3rd Star Noir

Staniel Cay failed to supplement his Nottingham success when third at Yarmouth in May, but he has been gelded and joined the Grant Tuer yard since. He remains of interest, but the one who appeals most is CHEERLEADER. Tina Jackson's filly finished a close third over this trip at Ripon and a similar performance might suffice. Of the remainder, Betweenthesticks makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Cheerleader 2nd Staniel Cay 3rd Betweenthesticks

It's fair to say CLASSY CLARETS is in the form of his life after successfully completing a four-timer at Hamilton. Iain Jardine's gelding now has a 6lb higher mark to contend with, but it would be no surprise to see him go in again. Carolus Magnus has been either first or second in three of his last four starts, most recently chasing home a subsequent winner at Beverley, and should remain competitive. Runninsonofagun is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Classy Clarets 2nd Carolus Magnus 3rd Runninsonofagun
