PROTEST RALLY won a deeper race at Musselburgh on his penultimate start and wasn't disgraced off this mark when fourth after a troubled run at Lingfield most recently. Well drawn in stall one and with 5lb claimer Cian Horgan back in the saddle, the five-year-old looks well worth another chance on these terms. The last-time-out winners Hover On The Wind, whose yard chases a hat-trick in this race, and Ziggy's Queen can fight it out for second place.

UBETTERSEETHIS has shown ability and could be up to breaking his maiden at the third time of asking. Denied by just a head on his debut over 5f here last month, Craig Lidster's colt was then done no favours when hampered early on at Beverley most recently. That form still read well and his third-placed finish could be worth forgiving. As the other three with experience need to improve, notable debutants Big Fun and Lily Pearl could present the stiffest challenges this time.

ARUNDEL took a step forward when filling the runner-up spot on his handicap bow at Beverley recently, pulling four lengths clear of the reopposing Cangofar (third). Ed Dunlop's gelding is officially 2lb well-in and, in a moderate heat, he looks to have every chance of going one place better. Keats House was far from disgraced at Doncaster last time and is most appealing of the remainder.

MADE ALL didn't live up to his name when coming from last to scoop the prize at Catterick on his stable debut recently. It was, however, a commanding performance and may have been down to a step up in trip. With potentially more to come, he's fancied to double up under a penalty, although fellow penalised runner Agathon won't go down without a fight. Dubai Venture was a shade unfortunate when second at Beverley last time and he remains of interest from an unchanged mark.

Radio Star has been knocking hard at the door recently and Ollie Sangster's filly can be expected to go close once again. That said, preference is for VIBRANT PEARL, who belied odds of 100-1 to finish second at Redcar on her debut earlier this month. The winner, albeit much the best that day, has since filled the runner-up spot in a handicap from a mark of 85, so any progress might suffice here. Market support for the 125,000-euro purchase Kodi's Queen would be noteworthy.

There doesn't appear to be bundles of early pace on show and that could benefit HIGHLAND OLLY, who made all of the running to score at Nottingham a fortnight ago. Berthed well in stall one, he might be tough to reel in once again if adopting similar tactics. Captain Corelli returns from a 241-day absence in search of a five-timer and is respected, while Commander Of Life is considered too.
