Tim Easterby has a runner at both ends of the handicap with Kitsune Power and BOLLIN NEIL, so the market should be informative. The former is an infrequent winner but competes from a handy mark as a result. However, Bollin Neil is something of a course specialist (under both codes) and his proven effectiveness over these undulations earn him the vote, especially given that Jake Dickson's 8lb claim should be advantageous. Recent Southwell winner Kokinelli is unexposed over the trip and must be taken seriously back on turf.

Course specialist BOLLIN NEIL looks the most solid option, with Trapper John and Wasthatok next on the list.

Despite finishing last of five in a maiden at Newmarket a fortnight ago, SIERRA SANDS wasn't beaten that far and was perhaps unsuited by the steady pace. Better judged on his promising debut second at Leicester, the Ed Dunlop-trained colt can be given another chance. Given that others with previous experience all need to find significant improvement, it would come as no surprise were newcomers Uncle Nader, Galileo Blue and Wagyu Star all heavily involved.

This could be a good opportunity for SIERRA SANDS, who went close on the first of his two starts. Mystical Eye is feared.

Keeping to novice company could be beneficial for PROUD TO BE FOX, who sets the standard according to the official ratings. Admittedly, the bar isn't set remarkably high but there have been promising signs in his four runs so far and he can put that experience to good use. Secret Sonata is an obvious threat, especially now back at six furlongs. Pension Pot and Benjamin Brodie complete the shortlist.

The percentage call in quite a trappy novice is Andrew Balding's SECRET SONATA.

An unexposed sort who has improved with each start, AAJEJ looks the one to be with on his handicap debut. He produced a strong runner-up effort at Southwell latest, and an opening mark of 79 could prove lenient. Beaten a head into third at Hamilton most recently, Mafting is entitled to be thereabouts again, along with Thosewerethedays, who holds strong claims judged on last month's Carlisle triumph.

This may be decided by improvement from the lightly raced 3yos THOSEWERETHEDAYS and Aajej. Third on the list is Made All.

MUDAMER won comfortably over C&D last time out, and a return to better ground should not inconvenience him too much. He can to follow up off a 5lb higher mark, which may come at the main expense of recent Leicester scorer Wreck It Ryley. Quest For Fun has filled the runner-up spot on two of his last four starts since forcing a dead-heat for top honours at York in July.

Fifth, sixth and seventh at York, HAVANA PRINCE, Quest For Fun and Highfield Viking are the likeliest contenders in that order.

AHAMOMENT continues to go from strength to strength, and a further 8lb rise for his most recent success at Ayr may not prevent him from landing the hat-trick. The six-year-old gets the vote ahead of the capable Woodstock, while Tactical Plan, who sports first-time blinkers, is 1lb below his last winning mark. Catalyse and Sir Garfield may also have a say in proceedings.

Topweight WOODSTOCK (nap) looks ready to strike for the first time this season and is preferred to U Sure Do.

Having filled the runner-up spot on each of his last three outings, Lexington Blitz has less to prove than most and cannot be dismissed. However, a rise in class isn't sure to help the three-year-old and VENTURE CAPITAL makes greater appeal. Kevin Ryan's charge arrives on the back of a good third at Ascot and this looks slightly easier. Vintage Clarets has won the last two renewals of this contest so is certain to have his supporters again.

Vintage Clarets isn't opposed lightly as he bids for three in a row in this race but narrow preference is for I'M NEXT.

SPRING BLOOM has moved yards since unseating at Newmarket in August, and he looks just the type to have been freshened up by a change of scenery. Now under the tutelage of Darryll Holland, the veteran is 3lb below his last winning mark and could be worth chancing. Lipsink escapes a penalty for his recent triumph in an apprentice event at Kempton so is an obvious danger, while Alligator Alley appeals most of the remainder.

The suggestion is BEAUTY CHOICE, who ran well in this last year, arrives in form and his stable has been among the winners this week.
