On target over an extended 1m3f at Windsor in May, QUIETNESS got away with a drop in trip when following up at Salisbury last month. A subsequent 3lb rise doesn't look beyond the unexposed four-year-old and, with a step up in trip in her favour, she can complete the hat-trick. Dance Time was in good form on the all-weather when last seen and must enter calculations ahead of her reappearance, while Arctic Fox completes the shortlist.

It's hard to get away from QUIETNESS, who won a deeper handicap than this at Salisbury last time so she can complete the hat-trick. Ready To Shine has a career-low mark to work with on the back of a breathing operation so is tentatively offered for the forecast.

The 2022 winner Arctic Fox faces a bang-in-form rival in QUIETNESS, who should take all the beating in her bid for the hat-trick.

Secret Mistral surged back to form with a commanding C&D triumph last month and, although she merits respect in her bid to follow up, FAHRENHEIT SEVEN is preferred. He shaped with promise on his handicap bow recently and, though a drop to the minimum trip might not be ideal, there should be a decent pace to aim at and the long straight will suit. Dashing Harry and Nogo's Dream are others to consider.

SECRET MISTRAL returned an improved model when going in over C&D and still looks ahead of her mark despite taking a 7 lb hike. Loco Lobo also made a promising reappearance when fourth here and rates a big danger on that effort despite being 3 lb "wrong" in the weights. Nogo's Dream and Oneforsue can also have a say in this competitive sprint.

Despite a 7lb rise SECRET MISTRAL looks the safest option following her successful return over C&D last month.

RAISON D'ETRE caught the eye when keeping on for third at York on her racecourse bow last month. The daughter of Bated Breath ought to improve for that initial experience and she can strike at the second time of asking. Miss Hathaway was narrowly denied at Thirsk last time out and she merits respect on that evidence. 130,000gns purchase Definitive and the Ollie Sangster-trained Ecology also warrant a market check ahead of their respective debuts.

This has the look of a decent contest for the grade with RAISON D'ETRE taken to get off the mark on the back of a promising start at York in a fillies' novice that has produced winners. Miss Hathaway surely has races in her, while Flashy Dark Angel and Ecology head up the newcomers.

There was plenty to like about the debut performance of RAISON D'ETRE at York last month. The form has been franked and 6f should suit.

ALBERT CEE could not have won any easier on his debut for new connections at Chepstow last month, and a 10lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent him from making it three wins from his last four starts. Slightly unlucky when not getting a clear run and eventually keeping on for third at York last time, Tiriac can give the selection the most to think about, ahead of last-time-out C&D scorer Grant Wood. Others to note include Equiano Springs, Hyperfocus and Raatea.

TIRIAC is going the right way and this isn't as strong as the race he contested (when shaping well in third) at York last time, so he's a confident choice to resume winning ways at the possible expense of last-time-out winners Albert Cee and Grant Wood. Hyperfocus is also worthy of consideration.

Despite a 10lb rise the unexposed ALBERT CEE (nap) is taken to follow-up last month's easy Chepstow success.

Stepping up to 7f may be just what the doctor ordered for JORGE ALVARES, who has been slightly outpaced on both career outings so far over 6f before rallying late in the piece. The form of the Kevin Ryan stable is another plus and he can see off the likes of promising Doncaster third Sir Paul Ramsey, as well as Olympus Point, a costly Godolphin-owned newcomer who is closely related to multiple Group 1 winner Blue Point. A penalty will make things a lot tougher for Cavallo Bay following a comfortable victory at Wolverhampton.

Plenty in with a squeak but SIR PAUL RAMSEY showed a fair level of ability when third on debut at Doncaster last month and he can go a couple of places better with improvement on the cards. Charlie Appleby saddles a couple of likely candidates in Olympus Point and Cavallo Bay, so they head up the opposition, with Jorge Alvares another worth a mention now stepping up in trip.

Preference is for JORGE ALVARES who has shaped as though the extra furlong would suit when third in his first two starts over 6f.

KODE SECRET proved his versatility when scoring on quick ground at Redcar recently, and Tim Easterby's charge continues to go from strength to strength. The son of Kodiac is 2lb well-in and he may have too much for unexposed handicap debutant Smouldering, who did it well when taking command late in the day at Kempton. Mostar Dreams recorded a narrow success at Carlisle last month and she is another to consider from a 3lb raised mark.

The progressive KODE SECRET is taken to record his third win on the bounce, perhaps at the chief expense of unexposed handicap debutante Smouldering, who still looked green when scoring at Kempton and should have more to offer. Arkhalia Flynn is another to consider.

The selection is KODE SECRET. He is 4lb higher in his hat-trick bid, but is already due another 2lb rise.
