Look At Me Now could be capable of better now sent handicapping following three modest offerings in maiden company and market confidence behind his chance would have to be noted. Similar comments are applicable to Castalian Spring and she looks capable of better. However, at this stage, the safest option would appear to be REGAL LADY, who posted an improved effort when a good third in a maiden here last week.
Look At Me Now may do better now switched to AW handicaps and the fitting of headgear might help too - his dam wore eyeshields when racing. He is taken to get the better of Alnair and Regal Lady this time.

Although large in number, there is very little of substance in this poor field and it is hard to get enthusiastic about any of the runners. Good Timin' ran with credit over 6f here last time and now drops back in trip but of more interest is DOLLY BAY, who ran her best race to date over this trip at Kempton last time and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to land the spoils. Returning from a break and to this surface, Una Vita Pius takes the eye and she completes the shortlist.
Dolly Bay turned in an improved display at Kempton last time and can get off the mark at the main expense of Cara Carmela and Lisselton Cross.

It is easy to see why this out-of-form bunch are being risked in claiming grade. FARAWAY is a sporting selection as he has winning C&D form to his name and is set to be ridden by Luke Morris, who is riding particularly well on the all-weather at present. Connections will be hoping a first-time visor may elicit improvement from Red Socks, while I'm Still The Man, who was thrown into Listed company at Royal Ascot, albeit well held, is also considered.
This looks a good opportunity for Faraway to gain his third win of the year with the drop in trip and grade both in his favour. He can get the better of I'm Still The Man in a modest event.
Winner of six races from 6f to 1m 1f including 2 wins on polytrack. A winner at 5-1 at Lingfield over 7f on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Fishforcompliments by 3/4l. Carries a 12lb penalty today for that success. Has also won at Wolverhampton this season.

One Way Or Another arrives here on a hat-trick having scored at plating level the last twice but will need to raise his game to follow up under a double penalty now back in handicap company. A chance is instead taken on MUSIC FESTIVAL who, although not the most straightforward of rides, has dropped to a good mark and could be rejuvenated by the switch in surface on his polytrack bow. Fluctuation has been going well recently and is another to consider.
One Way Or Another has a big weight to carry but is still on a manageable mark on the pick of his form and his new stable may be able to coax him back to his very best. He can complete the hat-trick at the main expense of Music Festival and Anjomarba.

BERBICE has a terrible strike-rate on turf but has recently benefitted from moving back onto the all-weather and landed a C&D double when making smooth headway and travelling on the bit inside the final furlong here last time. Linda Perratt's charge is turned out under a penalty today and remains feasibly weighted on the pick of his best efforts. The drop back to this trip is expected to suit Fleetwoodsands, while there may be better to come from Garstang, who is better known as a sprinter but won over 7f earlier in his career.
Berbice and Dashing Eddie have been in good fettle round here of late, but it could be worth chancing Garstang who caught the eye with his finishing flourish at Kempton last time.

Maybeagrey scored with plenty in hand over C&D last month and warrants respect under a penalty. He has been handed a wide draw but scored from a similar perch last time, but of more interest is PRE CATALAN, who finished well held in a warm Yarmouth maiden last time and starts life in handicaps on a workable mark. If the fitting of a first-time visor has the desired effect, Ed Dunlop's charge could leave his poor maiden form behind. Dropped 1lb for finishing fifth at Kempton last time, Stag Hill is another to consider.
Maybeagrey is going the right way and can overcome her penalty and wide draw. Pre Catalan has the profile to do better than what she's shown so far and is worth keeping an eye on.
A winner at 8-1 over this course and distance on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Edgware Road by 3/4l. Carries a 6lb penalty today for that success.

The step up in trip and switch in surface worked the oracle for MAVEN, who is turned out under a penalty for scoring over C&D last week. Tim Easterby's charge remains open to plenty more improvement on this surface and has been handed a fair draw. Others to consider are Edgware Road, who was second behind the selection off this mark last time out and may be capable of narrowing the gap now fitted with first-time blinkers, and Valley Tiger, raised 5lb for winning over the extended mile here latest.
There shouldn't be much between Maven and Edgware Road once again, but Colinca's Lad could have the run of the race and come out on top.

Priors Gold returned to the winner's enclosure when landing a weak maiden here last month but was thwarted when attempting to follow up in handicap company thereafter and may be worth taking on again. Dark Dune capitalised on a declining mark when scoring over C&D last time and is respected, despite a 10lb rise in the weights, but of more interest is fellow track and trip scorer ART SCHOLAR, who is 3lb above his last winning mark and has secured the services of Luke Morris for the job tonight.
A competitive handicap to round off proceedings. The three 3-y-os could be the ones to concentrate on, with Dark Dune, William Haigh and Raucous Behaviour preferred in that order.
