There's not a great deal that jumps off the page here and it may not take much for GLENUJI to land the double here. He got up well to score over 1m at Musselburgh latest and a similar performance will see him in the frame. Carlitos Spirit has been on the premises in his last two starts but looks difficult to win with. His inconsistency is an issue and he is best followed for a place. Cold Quest was well beaten by the selection last time out but had shown previous signs of coming into some form.
Glenluji looked better than ever when notching up his second win in 3 starts at Musselburgh last time and looks sure to give it another good shot off his revised mark. Chichen Daawe and Carlitos Spirit should also make their presence felt.

BALLINARGH GIRL gets the verdict here following her impressive second on debut over 5f at Haydock. She was hampered at the start but showed plenty of spirit to get back into the race and finished strongly. Nine Before Ten is another who did not disappoint on debut. She finished runner-up on the all-weather at Southwell and should be on the shortlist this evening. Sapphire Girl turns out for Richard Fahey and looks to be heading in the right direction.
Sapphire Girl shaped as though her turn wasn't far away when third at Carlisle last month, but gave the impression she could require further to make her mark and may find the promising Ballinargh Girl too speedy on this occasion. Nine Before Ten should also get involved judged on her debut showing on fibresand.

This looks a decent opportunity for DISTANT SUN (engaged to run at Hamilton yesterday) to follow up his recent success over 5f at this track. He showed a battling attitude to hold on from Tournedos, who has since gone on to win, and despite a 6lb rise he should give a good account. Mister Hardy steps down in class and should be on the premises. He's now 3lb lower than his last winning mark and can get back to his best in this company . Ace Of Spies is not without a chance following his recent success here.
This trip is almost certainly on the sharp side for Mister Hardy nowadays, but he is in a different league to the rest based on his best form and has to be the choice following an encouraging run at Doncaster last month. Cawdor and Ace of Spies should be ready to pounce if he fails to deliver.
Successful at 5f and 6f on good to soft and soft ground. Third of 7 behind Barney McGrew beaten 5l at 4-1 on his latest outing in the Group 3 totesport.com Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle over 6f (good to firm) last month.

Jim Goldie has two with live chances here but his hope appears to be HAWKEYETHENOO. He's been in consistent form since returning to action this year with four place finishes in as many starts. A third in The Scurry at the Curragh offered plenty of encouragement and he should see off stablemate, Esoterica. The seven-year-old has finished third in three of his last four starts and should make the frame once again. Thebes can take a hand if running to his best.
Hawkeyethenoo has looked a different proposition this year, running another sound race in defeat at the Curragh last time, and he looks sure to be in the firing line once more. However, Baby Strange quickened well to take care of a subsequent winner at Doncaster last time and could prove a better option. Irish Heartbeat is another worth considering.

If MISTER ANGRY repeats his latest effort, he'll take all the beating here. He carries a 6lb penalty for this month's Ripon win but came home by 13 lengths that day despite being eased close home and this doesn't look any tougher. Regent's Secret was a very easy C&D winner last month but he has another 10lb to carry and also takes a big step up in class. Lady Luachmhar is knocking on the door but might need help from the handicapper to be let in.
Mister Angry could well be flattered by his recent wide-margin Ripon victory, but he is worth giving the benefit of the doubt for now and can follow up under a penalty. Lady Luachmhar and Wicked Daze shouldn't be too far away, either.

Although he's up 5lb for his C&D success here last month, DUBAWI KING looks the one to be on. He won quite cosily last time, looks open to further improvement after just six starts and might be a cut above these rivals. Sheiling, a good second over 1m 4f at Pontefract last time, is improving with every run and looks the one for the forecast, although chances could also be given to C&D winner Meetings Man and Reel Love, who turned in his best effort to date when second at Ripon.
It would be most surprising if there wasn't more to come from Sheiling in handicap company, but Dubawi King was value for a bit extra when winning here last time and he narrowly gets the verdict.

RIVER ARDECHE hasn't won since the start of last year but has hit form of late, failing by a neck to catch the winner over 1m 2f at Pontefract this month. This stiff finish should suit him and he looks capable of going one better off the same handicap mark. Nisaal has just missed out on his last two starts but is rising in the weights and needs to improve, while High Resolution (engaged to run at Hamilton yesterday) is proving a model of consistency but may also need some help from the handicapper.
River Ardeche was more like his old self when narrowly denied at Pontefract last time and he can go one better off the same mark. Sea Land and High Resolution look the chief threats.
