Narrowly denied on two of his last three starts, SIXCOR looks primed to defend his crown, having won this off an identical mark last year. The booking of Dougie Costello for the first time could be another plus and he is narrowly preferred to Ski Angel, who is capable of being in the shake-up on the evidence of her breakthrough success over C&D at the end of last month. It is also worth keeping an eye on Wrecked It Ralph.

SKI ANGEL can confirm recent C&D form with Bonito Cavalo and come out on top again. Wee Fat Mac is also interesting in a first-time tongue tie.

The unexposed SKI ANGEL is bred to carry on improving and she can follow up her recent C&D success.

The hat-trick seeking Ayr Poet has been nothing shy of progressive recently and Jim Goldie's eight-year-old can go close under a 4lb penalty for his last success. However, GOLDEN VALOUR filled the runner-up spot behind the aforementioned most recently and can reverse that form now 6lb better off with his rival. Havana Party is another to bear in mind following a decent third at Hamilton in June.

AYR POET proved at least as good as ever when successful at this C&D 5 days ago and he can land the hat-trick in his current mood. The biggest threat could come from Innse Gall, who has been holding his form well this year, while Havana Party won at this C&D on his penultimate outing and is respected after a break.

The vote goes to multiple course winner AYR POET, who is as good as ever and has form figures of 2211 here in his last four starts.

VINTAGE LOVE shaped well on her racecourse bow when fifth at Newcastle earlier this month and the daughter of Expert Eye makes plenty of appeal with that experience under her belt. Similar comments apply to War Memorial, who outran his odds when fourth at Thirsk at the end of last month, while Curious Rover, who placed on debut at Musselburgh, may benefit from dropping a furlong in distance.

RICH HARRY made an encouraging debut up against experienced rivals when third at Newcastle in June and can progress from that effort to open his account. Curious Rover also made a promising start when third at Musselburgh 8 days ago and could be the main danger, ahead of Vintage Love.

All those with experience shaped well on their debuts and WAR MEMORIAL was particularly eyecatching.

The key to this race could be the recent clash over C&D between KATS BOB (first) and Caribbean Sunset (second), with the former taken to come out on top once again. That latter has gone up 3lb for a subsequent success, so Iain Jardine's charge is only 1lb worse off with that rival as they reopposes and the fact he has won here over further is another plus. Course regular One Last Hug and The Caltonian cannot be ruled out either.

KATS BOB justified strong support when scoring over C&D last time and remains fairly treated on old form. He can follow up. One Last Hug and Caribbean Sunset rate the principal dangers.

The recent C&D handicap in which KATS BOB (nap) beat Caribbean Sunset looks the key formline and the placings can be confirmed.

First Greyed was a good winner over an extended 7f at Beverley last time, but he may struggle to defy a 3lb rise in the ratings, so the nod goes to YEEEAAH. Tristan Davidson's charge has yet to shed his maiden tag but he has been shaping as if a win could be just around the corner after running consistently well over a mile of late and the drop in trip appears likely to unlock more improvement. Slippin Jimmy heads the remainder.

FIRST GREYED confirmed the promise of his previous run when scoring at Beverley earlier this month and remains feasibly treated. He gets the nod. Slippin Jimmy and He's A Gentleman can also make their presence felt.

The vote goes to FIRST GREYED, who has turned things around recently and overcame trouble when scoring at Beverley two weeks ago.

Future Times could try to make the running again and he may not be easy to pass dropping back to this trip. ANA EMARAATY ran his best race yet when third at Newcastle, despite being short of room at a crucial stage, and after only seven starts he may have more improvement to come. Jaminoz, Cabinet Maker and El Royale all have form that suggests they can have a say.

Course winner JAMINOZ arrives in good form and is taken to register another victory here. El Royale and Ana Emaraaty should also go well.

Jim Goldie's two runners are greatly respected but this may be the day things all fall right for EL ROYALE.
