The Flying Seagull boasts the advantage of course form having got off the mark on his latest start and Hugo Palmer's colt has to enter calculations, despite giving away a penalty to the opposition. The vote, though, goes to BRIGHTON BOY, who stepped forward from his debut when runner-up at Salisbury. Andrew Balding's colt hung left on that occasion, but that may not be as much of an issue if proving able to grab the rail from a good draw. Qaseem completes the shortlist.

THE FLYING SEAGULL made all in good style here a fortnight ago and is taken to follow up under a penalty. Brighton Boy and Equalised both have races in them and are feared most in a pretty open maiden.

After bumping into an improver at Redcar, QASEEM may make a breakthrough by edging out the C&D winner The Flying Seagull.

DUKES OF HAATHER was presented with a golden opportunity to shed his maiden tag when suffering interference in a C&D seller last month. Now sporting blinkers for the first time on his nursery bow, he has every chance of making amends. Megalithic's second at Epsom arguably sets the standard, even if he underperformed subsequently at Newbury. The extra furlong should be in his favour, while Moon Sniper is likely to find this grade more to his liking after struggling in the Chesham at Royal Ascot.

MEGALITHIC looked a work-in-progress in his qualifying runs and the combination of 7f and the switch to a nursery is expected to elicit an improved showing. Moon Sniper is back in much calmer waters and is a definite threat from stall 2, with Sunday's Carlisle winner Greek Gift also of interest.

Ralph Beckett's MEGALITHIC looks to have more to offer now he steps into nursery company with his stamina drawn out more so gets the nod

COUP DE FORCE has been knocking on the door this season at Windsor and the five-year-old may have been found a suitable opportunity to get her head back in front. Dickieburd's recent efforts at this track would entitle him to a place on the shortlist, especially dropping in grade, while Hyperfocus isn't handicapped out of things being just 2lb higher than his victory here over 6f last month.

DICKIEBURD arrives having run well on each of his last 2 starts in course handicaps, latterly when fifth from a tricky draw, and he could be worth siding with to resume winning ways back on his last winning mark. Danger Alert caught the eye at Windsor last time and he's a threat. Veteran Hyperfocus is a player with a repeat of his performance that saw him come out on top over 6f here 4 weeks ago.

George Baker's DANGER ALERT (nap) is taken to build on his eye-catching Windsor fourth and resume winning ways in this open sprint

SO DEUCE impressed with a ready success in a maiden at Leicester and, armed with the weight-for-age allowance, Roger Varian's son of Lope De Vega has a strong chance of making a winning start to his handicap career. Gloucestershire is another interesting contender on his first start back with Martyn Meade, while Bodorgan also holds solid form claims and can go well, assuming he can negotiate a route through from his wide draw.

SO DEUCE looks to start life in handicaps on an attractive mark so is fancied to follow up his easy breakthrough Leicester maiden success. Last year's victor Dream Harder should ensure Roger Varian's Lope De Vega colt doesn't have things all his own way however. Tele Red and Gloucestershire also look ready to step forward and should be in the mix in a competitive handicap.

Roger Varian's SO DEUCE readily got off the mark at Leicester and can follow up now up in trip on his handicap debut.

NATIVE KING overcame a wider draw when he scored comfortably over this C&D last month and, open to any amount of improvement on just his second start in a handicap/second run for Hugo Palmer, a 6lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the three-year-old from following up. Elder horses Evocative Spark and Spioradalta also boast winning form at this unique track and they are feared most.

NATIVE KING swept past the whole field when scoring over C&D on his debut for this yard and the form is looking strong, so he gets the nod over Society Lion, who is chasing a hat-trick. Spioradalta also comes into the reckoning with the softer conditions in his favour.

This features some Chester regulars, including 2023 winner Spioradalta. However, the improving 3yo NATIVE KING is a confident pick.

BERKSHIRE PHANTOM had a more attractive draw when he won over an extended 7f here last month but given he was forced to switch to the centre when coming with his challenge that day, a berth in stall 10 might not be such a hinderance if he can deliver a similar power-packed finish off just 2lb higher. Chalk Mountain is one to monitor in the betting market back on turf and having undergone wind surgery since last seen, while Danzart appeals for a place.

BERKSHIRE PHANTOM is in the winning habit this year and might be able to add to last month's course success. Chalk Mountain was in good form when last seen and, from a handy draw, might provide the chief threat if ready to roll after an 8-month lay-off. American Star is down to a mark he really ought to be making an impact from and also makes the shortlist.

A wide draw is a negative for Berkshire Phantom and American Star, so a chance is taken on Hugo Palmer's MASTER FRANCA instead.
