A master at picking off races with progressive staying handicappers, Sir Mark Prescott looks to have another in that mould with TROOPER BISDEE, who has won three from five this season and scored comfortably at Beverley last week. A solid third at Hamilton on his penultimate start, Nobody Told Me looks to be his main danger, while the well-handicapped Monsieur Lambrays is in need of a revival.

It's very hard to escape the claims of TROOPER BISDEE, who could easily rack up a sequence given the yard he represents having opened his account with plenty to spare at Beverley last week. Nobody Told Me's stamina for 2m isn't set in stone but he's still offered as the main threat.

The one that stands out is the progressive 3yo TROOPER BISDEE, who made it 3-5 in handicaps when making all at Beverley last week.

The strongest piece of form on offer may well be GO DADDY's debut at Sandown, where he ran on well late to grab third behind a colt who has performed in Listed company since. The son of Smooth Daddy can see off the likes of Kempton third Mai Dubai and Going The Distance, who shaped with promise when third on debut over C&D. Break The Bank and I Love Paris can also have a say in proceedings.

I LOVE PARIS produced a promising first effort and was noted doing very good late work when third in a Newmarket novice (7f) on debut 3 weeks ago. Sure to have derived plenty from that initial experience, she gets the nod to come out on top at the second attempt. Go Daddy similarly shaped well without being seen to best effect when filling the same spot on his respective debut at Sandown and is feared most. Going The Distance is also considered.

Plenty of these have shown clear promise but the vote goes to I LOVE PARIS, who went close at Newmarket on her recent debut.

Narrowly denied at Wolverhampton last time out over slightly further, it is difficult to look past BETWEEN ME AND U as he looks to deservedly get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. The mile trip could prove ideal and he should have too much for Unleash Hell and Primetime, who is another that has the potential to improve for the rise in distance.

This looks an excellent opportunity for BETWEEN ME AND U to open his account given he can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent second at Wolverhampton. Unleash Hell appeals as the one to chase home Ivan Furtado's well-treated gelding now he steps into handicaps with the prospect of better to come ahead of Primetime.

This can go to BETWEEN ME AND U, who went very close on his nursery debut last week and is well treated off the same mark here.

ESMERAY may have gone better last time had she been more alert at the start, and she is fancied to get off the mark on this occasion. Ralph Beckett's charge was only beaten a neck that day over 1m2f at Bath and she'll be difficult to beat if taking a step forward. Golden Delite should also be in the mix after a very promising second over 1m2f at Newmarket, while Quietness can also hit the frame.

A few of these have better days ahead of them but Ralph Beckett's progressive Sea The Moon filly ESMERAY holds the edge on form so is taken to emerge on top from Mick Appleby's promising new recruit Golden Delite. Quietness is open to progress too and can have a say in an intriguing maiden.

This is a tight call between Esmeray and GOLDEN DELITE but the vote goes to Mick Appleby's new recruit.

This appears to revolve around the performance of PORT ERIN, who is fancied to follow up his win over 1m at Newcastle. Simon and Ed Crisford's charge didn't see another rival when scoring in easy fashion by two and a quarter lengths on that occasion and he appears primed to defy a 6lb penalty. Coral Reef rates as the biggest danger dropped 1lb after her second over 7f at Chepstow. Show Of Hands can chase the pair home ahead of Sprezzatura.

PORT ERIN duly left his previous efforts well behind when making a winning handicap debut in good style at Newcastle last week and will prove hard to beat under a penalty. Coral Reef is the clear main danger.

Top of the list is PORT ERIN who made all on his handicap debut at Newcastle last week and is open to more progress on this drop to 7f.

Havanazam was a good winner last time out over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton, but he may find life much tougher in handicap company, so the nod goes to BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS. Sir Mark Prescott's charge has gone up 13lb in the ratings this season and his latest 7lb rise for a one-and-three-quarter-length success over 1m4f at Newbury doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Surrey Belle is also noted.

BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS looked comfortably ahead of the handicapper when scoring at Newbury when last seen in June and, with the scope for more improvement, he's an obvious choice. Surrey Belle is a danger if her stamina lasts out and Supposedtobe deserves some respect.

The vote goes to BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS (nap), who has form figures of 121 in handicaps and is open to more progress.
