The progressive QUIETNESS is a prime candidate to make this a searching test and having won four of her seven previous starts on turf, this tough filly appeals strongly in a field of this size, despite going up 6lb for her latest success. Walter Hartright, already a dual C&D winner, can make this tough for the selection, while Drawn To Dream, a Listed winner in Germany before joining Jamie Osborne, has been highly tried this season and also appeals now dropped in class.

WALTER HARTRIGHT and Quietness are both enjoying productive campaigns and are taken to fight out the finish of this handicap, despite the fact that they're both stepping up in class. The former is 2-3 over this C&D and the form of his latest Chepstow second looks solid, factors which helps tilt the scales in his favour. Drawn To Dream, formerly a useful performer in Germany, is interesting back in a handicap but Loyal Touch would prefer slower ground and Thundering is 5 lb out of the handicap.

Prolific pair Quietness and Walter Hartright look sure to go well but are taken on with the class-dropping DRAWN TO DREAM.

A winner at this level last September, COMMANCHE FALLS is showing no signs of his enthusiasm waning and, on the back of a commendable third in a heritage handicap at York last week, Michael Dods' admirable campaigner has solid credentials for further Listed success. Democracy Dilemma is suggested as the chief threat to the selection, although last year's winner and historical data on three-year-olds contesting this race beyond the last 10 years suggests Epsom 3YO Dash winner Blue Storm and the unexposed Staincliff can stake bold claims for their generation.

A cracking renewal of this valuable contest, despite the small field. The unexposed STAINCLIFF has much more on her plate compared to when landing a 5-runner Windsor novice on her belated seasonal reappearance but she looks destined for bigger and better things. The Jack Channon-trained filly shades preference ahead of consistent trailblazer Democracy Dilemma. If Commanche Falls is on-song he will be a big threat and the progressive Blue Storm has to enter calculations, too.

In an open event, the front-running DEMOCRACY DILEMMA appeals most after performing so well in a big-field handicap at York last week.

Paul Midgley sent out the winner of this race last year and can stage a repeat with FRANK THE SPARK, who has made good progress of late and has a solid chance of backing up his Nottingham success off a 6lb higher mark. Emeralds Pride is feared most, despite a 5lb penalty for last Sunday's C&D win. Miss Brazen has an affinity for this course and also rates a player off 5lb lower than her last winning rating.

FRANK THE SPARK took another step forward when scoring in decisive fashion at Nottingham recently and a 6 lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Fellow last-time-out winner Emeralds Pride looks a big threat having accounted for 15 rivals in good style over C&D last weekend. Let's Go Hugo was behind Opal Storm and Sounds Reason here earlier this month but he is taken to reverse the placings with those rivals this time and he is third choice.

The most appealing profile belongs to MISS BRAZEN (nap) who likes it here and is well treated on the pick of her efforts from last year.

GLORY HYDE (first) just got the better of Bella Kopella (second) when the pair met over this track and trip last month and, off a 2lb higher mark, she gets the vote to confirm that form en route to bringing up a double. Willolarupi impressed when coming from off the pace to score over C&D earlier this month and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Several arrive in good order and it's difficult to pick between them but TAYGAR was back to form when scoring last time and remains well treated on old form, so she gets the nod from the plum draw. Stablemate Nelson Gay looks a player and recent C&D winner Glory Hyde is an obvious player.

The pick of three last-time-out winners could be the progressive GLORY HYDE, up just 2lb for a C&D success last month.

As a daughter of Too Darn Hot, there is a lot to like about BASSADANZA on paper and she gets the vote to open her account at the first time of asking under a jockey operating at a 22 per cent strike-rate at Beverley this year. Related to numerous winners and a relatively costly sales purchase at 150,000gns, Fool Again is another newcomer to note, while Stiorra looks best of those with experience, despite not showing much on debut at Newbury.

The betting can help sort out these out, with FOOL AGAIN preferred over Star Cast before market clues.

The absence of Saqqara Sands appears to open the door for the newcomers and BASSADANZA gets the vote.

AMPHIUS lost little in defeat when runner-up behind a useful type on his handicap debut over a mile at Kempton and this looks to be a good opportunity for the so-far consistent son of Kingman to gain a breakthrough victory now returned to maiden company. Bamburgh shaped with plenty of promise when third at Salisbury and he must enter calculations with the promise of more to come. Cable Beach looks the pick of the remainder, but he will need to find significant improvement if he is to land the gold medal.

This represents a golden opportunity for AMPHIUS to open his account. The Kingman colt has made the frame on each of his four starts, most recently finding just one too good on his handicap debut at Kempton, and this drop to 7f will be no bad thing on this stiffer track. Bamburgh made a promising start to his career at Salisbury and is the clear pick for forecast purposes ahead of Cable Beach.

Bamburgh is respected after a pleasing debut at Salisbury but AMPHIUS sets quite a high standard and can get off the mark.

LIGHT SPEED defied a wide draw when scoring with something in hand at Chester and another bold bid is forecast. A 4lb higher rating for that fourth career victory looks more than workable for Gemma Tutty's gelding, with the biggest threat expected to be mounted by Zapphire. The four-year-old arrives on the back of several creditable efforts in defeat and she should be in the thick of the action once more. Arkenstaar and Power Of Gold are also noted.

LIGHT SPEED showed his first form for this yard when forging clear to score at Chester last month and he remains well treated on his best efforts, so he gets the nod over the in-form Zozimus, with Zapphire also on the shortlist.

Several possibles, including last year's 1-2 Park Street and Zozimus, but LIGHT SPEED is preferred on the back of a Chester win.

The hat-trick seeking Bay Dream Believer must enter calculations after proving triumphant at Leicester and Ripon earlier this month. Mark Walford's mare is sure to give another good account of herself off a 3lb higher rating, but MR JETMAN shades the verdict. The son of Territories would have undoubtedly finished closer than third at Ripon on Tuesday had he not been impeded in the closing stages and compensation could be imminent. Whatwouldyouknow may fare best of the remainder.

MR JETMAN hasn't been seen to best effect on his last two starts and, while this race comes on the back of a quick turnaround, he's worth a chance to open his account for the season. Bay Dream Believer, who got the better of the selection a fortnight ago, is an obvious danger, while a return to form is expected from This Years Love.

While WHATWOULDYOUKNOW hasn't been a regular winner on turf, he has been running with credit this summer and might prove the answer.
