The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Expert Choice is likely to prove popular amongst punters having kept on well to finish second on his racecourse debut at Pontefract, while Belle Storm is related to a few winners and she looks capable of building on her recent Wolverhampton effort. A chance, however, is taken on LIKLEMAN. Mark Johnston won this race in 2018 and 2019 before relinquishing his licence to son Charlie, and the Footstepsinthesand colt, who disappointed having been well supported on his debut 25 days ago, can take a step forward with that experience under his belt.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, with VICE CAPTAIN selected to go one better than at Nottingham 9 days ago with this step up in trip holding no fears. Expert Choice offered plenty to work on first time up when runner-up at Pontefract just over 6 weeks ago, so he may well emerge as the main danger, ahead of Eminny and Belle Storm.

The vote goes to the most experienced runner, VICE CAPTAIN, whose trainer took this with a similar type 12 months ago.

Second on her debut at Catterick before going on to finish a creditable seventh in the Queen Mary, this looks a good opportunity for the Karl Burke-trained LADY PINK ROSE to open her account now eased significantly in class. Alfa Whiteburd failed to make an impact in the Coventry last time but must enter calculations today, while Red Zone Hero, who would have arguably finished closer to the principals with a clear run at Windsor 12 days ago, is another to be interested in.

LADY PINK ROSE has shown a level of form above that of her oppositon and is very to difficult to oppose, second home in her group at Royal Ascot last time and likely to improve even further. Whogoesthere and Red Zone Hero produced promising debut efforts, with the former preferred of that duo on account of his better draw, with the experienced Alfa Whiteburd also holding solid place claims.

Second in the unfavoured far-side group in the Queen Mary, LADY PINK ROSE takes a steep drop back in class and can get off the mark.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Rwenearlytheredad recorded two victories in the space of four days last month, with the latest of those coming at Doncaster, and he merits the utmost respect from a 6lb higher mark. Let's Go Hugo has yet to add to his maiden success, but the drop into a class 6 contest, along with the addition of first-time cheekpieces, could spark an improved showing. However, GRANDAD BOB showed the benefit of recent wind surgery when finishing a good second at Catterick in April and he's fancied to go one better with further improvement on the cards.

RWENEARLYTHEREDAD is a thriving young sprinter who is likely to be well positioned from stall 3, so he gets the nod ahead of Bella Kopella, who was third to the selection here 11 days ago and is on much better terms now. Grandad Bob is another one to consider.

Rwenearlytheredad and BELLA KOPELLA, first and third over C&D in June, stand out on recent evidence, the latter narrowly preferred.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

There has been no stopping the hat-trick seeking Dungar Glory of late and she can get involved off a 2lb raised mark for her most recent success. Zak Wheatley knocks 5lb off her back with his claim, but the progressive STRANGERONTHESHORE is fancied to get the better of her. Only narrowly denied over a mile at Doncaster last month, Nigel Tinkler's five-year-old rates the one to beat now only 1lb above that mark. Last-time-out winner Powdering is another to note off 2lb higher.

The vote goes to BINT AL DAAR, who shaped well on debut for this yard back from a 3-month break at Haydock where she put in good late work from a compromising position. Stablemate Senesi didn't lose much caste in defeat at Sandown last time and she looks set for another leading role, while the Roger Varian-trained Young And Fun is also likely to play a part in the finish.

Top of the list is SENESI who ran a cracker at Sandown considering the drop in distance seemed not to play to her strengths.

This represents a drop in class for BRINGBACKMEMORIES, who arrives here following a comfortable success over a similar distance at Haydock last month. He seemed to appreciate a shorter stamina test on that occasion and is fancied to mount another bold bid off 6lb higher. Others of interest include the consistent Crown Princess, who has gone up 1lb following a good second over an extended mile last month, and recent C&D winner Freak Out.

A case can be made for all of these but at the likely odds it is worth siding with SOLAR JOE to capitalise on a good mark now he reverts to a longer trip. Haydock scorer Bringbackmemories and course specialist Poet's Dawn head the list of dangers and can chase home Richard Fahey's 5-y-o in that order.

The runner with the most potential is ORIOLE (nap) and Ralph Beckett's 4yo is taken to build on an encouraging reappearance at Chester.

This could go the way of handicap debutant MASCANI, who finished a fair fifth in maiden company over 6f in May. The gelded son of Mastercraftsman looks bred to appreciate a stiffer stamina test and he is entitled to take a big step forward here. Recent C&D winner Ski Jump can give him plenty to think about off 3lb higher, while Ribkana is another to bear in mind.

SKI JUMP was always well positioned off a steady gallop when shedding the maiden tag over C&D 11 days ago, but left the impression he always had matters in hand when tackled and a 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Mascani is an intriguing handicap debutant now upped markedly in trip and warrants a second look. Keeponbelieving completes the shortlist.

Grant Tuer's MASCANI appeals as the sort to take a sizeable step forward now handicapping over a much longer trip so he gets the verdict
