Philos arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton and, most recently, over C&D. Another bold bid can be expected, but he has been given another 4lb rise in the ratings for that half-length success which may leave him susceptible to some better treated rivals, such as MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO. Simon and Ed Crisford's charge ran on strongly last time over 1m2f at this venue where he was beaten just two lengths and this step up in trip is likely to suit. Robusto completes the shortlist.

Several with sound claims, though MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO perhaps makes most appeal, with the Crisford's gelding appearing to now be gradually getting the hang of things. Robusto failed to immediately progress at Caterick last time but is given another chance to improve, whilst hat-trick seeking Philos and handicap-debutante Surge are others that merit serious consideration.

Hat-trick seeker Philos is respected but MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO gets the vote after his eyecatching effort here last time.

OPTIK has been running consistently well of late, finishing second in each of his last three starts, and this looks like a good opportunity for him to go one better off the same mark. Platinum Prince is fancied to offer the sternest resistance after not much going his way last time over 1m3f at Kempton, while Handel is another to note.

The highest-drawn pair make most appeal here, with the three-year-old THIRD BATCH fancied to build on a couple of promising placed efforts to get off the mark. Handel is a long-standing maiden but is going through a good spell at present and should be in the mix, whilst Zebra Star produced her best effort for a while last time and is potentially well treated if able to build on that.

The suggestion is ZEBRA STAR, who did well to snatch third over C&D last week after being forced very wide around the final turn.

DARK GOLD hasn't done a great deal in his career to date, but he makes his handicap debut and must be taken very seriously for Sir Mark Prescott. An opening mark of 61 looks more than workable and it would be no surprise were he to feature, especially following wind surgery. Last-time-out winner Star Of Epsom is likely to be the biggest danger after scoring over C&D last month, but she may be in the grip of the handicapper, while Pink Lily should also be on the scene.

PINK LILY has done well so far this season, just finding the step up in grade beyond her at Goodwood last time, but she should be more at home in these calmer waters and sets a decent standard with a good claimer aboard. Star of Epsom has a positive C&D record and should make a bold bid to follow up her recent success here, whilst Dark Gold could well be a typical Sir Mark Prescott handicap improver and merits a serious market check.

The vote goes to STAR OF EPSOM, who made it 3-3 over C&D with her strong-finishing win 12 days ago. Dark Gold is feared most.

Graceful Thunder has obvious claims back at this sort of level after finishing down the field in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot 10 days ago. However, the form of her previous Sandown success has taken a few subsequent knocks and she may be worth taking on with QUEUES LIKELY. She got off the mark at the third attempt at Windsor and the daughter of Massaat appears to have further improvement to come. Dapperling has shown consistency and is next on the shortlist.

A decent novice contest, with DAPPERLING taken to get off the mark at the fifth attempt having shown a fair level of form in defeat at Bath on her last 2 outings. Graceful Thunder found Royal Ascot too much of an ask but could build on her debut success back in more realistic company, with Windsor maiden winner Queues Likely also meriting plenty of respect.

George Boughey's GRACEFUL THUNDER ran well for a long way in the Queen Mary last week and gets the vote back in much calmer waters.

REGAL ENVOY arrives on the back of a solid effort when second to an in-form rival at Bath on Wednesday and he has every chance of going one place better, despite a quick turnaround. Eeh Bah Gum is dangerous to underestimate on his debut for Ivan Furtado, while Harb is a speedy individual that looks a prime candidate for setting a solid tempo. Any support in the betting for Song Of Success would also be noteworthy.

Having dropped in the weights, REGAL ENVOY produced his best effort of the season when runner-up at Bath 3 days ago and he can go one better turned out again quickly. Song of Success could be the biggest threat making only her third start for her current yard, with Harb the pick of the remainder.

Regal Envoy and Song Of Success can go well but HARB can return to top form under conditions that suit.

INVERINATE wasn't beaten far over C&D on his penultimate start and improved to break the maiden at Chelmsford last time out. A 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient and he gets the vote ahead of Amathus, who had Major Gatsby (second) narrowly behind over C&D on his most recent effort. Essme and Nibras Rainbow are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

Having finished runner-up over C&D at the beginning of June, INVERINATE opened his account at Chelmsford 5 days later and he can follow up with more still to offer. He can see off the challenge of a pair of C&D winners, with Amathus successful 19 days ago and Essme arriving on the back of placed efforts here on her last 2 starts.

Ajrad is respected but INVERINATE (nap) is the one who looks to have the most improvement in him after his recent AW win.

Narrowly denied over further here last time out, SAN FRANCISCO BAY should be ideally suited to the drop in trip and Laura Coughlan's 3lb claim is another plus as he looks to make it two wins in his last three starts. Spirit Of Breeze is a key player for the in-form Gary Moore team, while Senor Pockets is another to consider off a dropping handicap mark.

DESERT ILLUSION is better judged on her previous placed efforts having been bumped at the start at Windsor 5 days ago, so she can resume her progress to get off the mark this time around. San Francisco Bay arrives in good form and is feared most with cheekpieces now applied, while Spirit of Breeze also merits consideration.

This can go to SAN FRANCISCO BAY, who went close in his bid for a double here last week and is a big player again on this drop to 6f.
