16:53 – Rosette

Top of the list is ROSETTE, who sets the standard on her near-miss in a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton on her penultimate run and had an excuse when switched to soft ground at Beverley last time. Course winner Expeditious is feared most on her step back up in trip, although Wall Street Crash showed promise behind an odds-on rival at Hamilton on his debut and could be dangerous if he can build on that. A couple of newcomers to keep an eye on are Kay Ceraar and City Of York.

17:25 – Lilandra

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to LILANDRA, who got back on the scoresheet with a dominant display at Chepstow last month and is a big player again if she can back that up on this drop back in trip. Steel Duchess had a near miss off a reduced mark over 6f here last week and she’s feared most, ahead of Monaadhil, who has won twice at 7f this season and was a close third over C&D last time. The others on the shortlist are Manettino and Vivency.

18:00 – Fiorina

This looks a bit trappy but it might be worth siding with George Boughey’s FIORINA, who went very close off only 1lb lower at Kempton in the spring and looks interesting back on Polytrack on her first run after wind surgery. The generally consistent Falesia Beach is feared most at this new trip, although Luckyboylovelywife could be dangerous if she can take another step back in the right direction.

18:30 – Ciotog

Preference is for CIOTOG, who came good when landing a gamble with his strong-finishing success at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and is open to more progress on this return to Polytrack. The other last-time-out winners Luna Queen and Roundabout Silver are feared most in that order, although Lelabad has a solid record in 7f handicaps this season and could make a serious impact if he copes with this new trip.

19:00 – Chief Of Staff

A tight-knit sprint in which the vote goes to CHIEF OF STAFF who proved well suited by the return to 6f when going in at Lingfield and can follow up off just a 2lb higher mark. The consistent Aramis Grey can boast a C&D win and is feared most while Spring Is Sprung is weighted to have a say and needs factoring in along with Belle Fourche on her first run for David O’Meara.

19:30 – Flavius Titus (NAP)

Babe Alicious has found only one too good on her last two starts so seems sure to be on the premises again on her Polytrack debut and veteran Shamshon could easily have a say off a tumbling mark. FLAVIUS TITUS (nap) did well to overcome a tardy start when getting back to winning ways at Ripon and he can follow up off a 3lb higher mark.

20:00 – Griggy

Lots of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks a very good opportunity for the rejuvenated GRIGGY to defy a 3lb rise in the weights and complete a quick hat-trick. Pretty Shiftwell is proving a reliable sort this term and feared most ahead of Amalfi Gem, who rates a solid place prospect.

20:30 – Flower of Thunder

A competitive race in which the vote goes to Christine Dunnett’s hat-trick seeker FLOWER OF THUNDER, who is as good as ever and had more in hand than the winning margin suggests at Yarmouth last time. The other last-time-out winners Travesuras and Janus are strongly respected, but the main threat could come from Fulfilled, who still has potential and looks interesting on his step up to this trip. Another interesting contender is the Crisfords’ unexposed 3yo Anglesey Abbey.
