A great opportunity for one of these to open their accounts and the tentative vote goes to MERCHANT OF MENACE, who got within three quarters of a length of winning over track and trip last time. Alphanumeric and Just Paul are others to consider.
JUSTIN'S TAPIT ran a cracking race, finishing runner-up, over this track and trip last time and gets the vote to go one better tonight. Any Given Royal was only a quarter of a length behind the selection that day (finishing third) and should give another good account, while Quaesitor looks best of the rest.
LOVEYOUALLTHETIME stepped up on a couple of solid placed efforts when scoring comfortably over 6 1/2f here last time and, with that confidence booster under his belt, he could repeat the dose. Vino Del Toro and Gentleman Jackson are most feared.
WAKEBOARDER sets the standard on the form of his second over this C&D last time and he is fancied to go one better. King Tucker could be the one to ask most questions ahead of Crushin Hard.
The Scott Fairlie-trained duo, Zinn House Doll and Blues Music, should make a bold fist of it between them and Officer's Dream should be thereabouts. However, KAWAGUCHI comes into this in fine form and she gets a tentative verdict.
LEMON SPLASH has been running well of late and she looks sure to play a leading role in this contest. Acting Naughty should be in the shake-up and Casablanca Kiss is entitled to be thereabouts.
KHULNA scored with plenty in hand over 7f when signing off last season at this venue and would take all of the beating if reproducing that effort, over this slightly shorter trip, on his seasonal bow. Haverhill and Rob The Cradle look the principal threats.
UNCAPTURED was off the mark at the first time of asking over the extended 4f here latest and looks one to keep onside while evidently on good terms with himself. Click similarly made a favourable impression when opening his account over the same trip as the first-named and is feared most. Jocosity and Jade Dragon are others to consider.
EVEN ME remains a maiden after nine outings but has typically competed in better company than this. She's capable of making her presence felt at this level when putting her best foot forward and is preferred ahead of Proud Parent and May's Pegasus.
STYRIE failed to land a blow over a route when last sighted but had previously gone down by just a neck over C&D so the return to 7f is expected to spark a return to form. Sinster Spinster should relish this extra yardage and is preferred ahead of Profit Preferred as the main danger.
