Zikany clearly needed a couple of runs to get back to peak fitness after a lengthy absence and he arrives carrying a 5lb penalty for a wide-margin success at Goodwood. A bold bid is expected once again with similar conditions prevailing, but recent Bath scorer RUSSIAN RUMOUR may have the edge. The daughter of Make Believe relished testing ground on that occasion and is only 3lb higher. Others to consider are Tailorman and Naasma.

It's hard to get away from ZIKANY, who sluiced through the mud to score by 17 lengths at Goodwood 12 days ago and a 5 lb penalty shouldn't be enough to prevent him from following up (due to be 4 lb higher in future). Russian Rumour doubled her tally for the campaign at Bath recently so she's put forward as the main threat, with Tailorman, who disappointed when sent off at odds-on at Kempton last time, rounding off the shortlist.

Zikany is hard to beat if judged on his recent Goodwood win but there is an interesting alternative in HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES (nap).

Ultrasoul has shown a decent level of form in the Convivial and with two runner-up efforts at Yarmouth so commands the utmost respect. That said, conditions are much different to what he has encountered to date and MARVELMAN, who was runner-up at Salisbury on heavy ground earlier in the month, appeals more. That was a step forward from his first start and he appears capable of further progression. Spirit Of Farhh has finished in the frame twice on soft ground and has to enter calculations too.

MARVELMAN took a marked step forward from his debut effort when runner-up in a Salisbury conditions' event 3 weeks ago and he holds sound claims back down in class with the prospect of more to come. Ultrasoul and Spirit of Farhh may emerge as the chief threats, though Dannick also commands respect following his eye-catching Goodwood third 12 days ago.

Thrice-raced ULTRASOUL brings strong form and may get off the mark, provided he handles the ground. Spirit Of Farhh is second pick.

MERCIAN WARRIOR gained a first career success at Ascot earlier in the month and a 5lb rise might not be enough to stop the son of Saxon Warrior from making it back-to-back victories. Cill Mocheallog has to be of interest on his first start for Dean Ivory having achieved a fair level of form in Ireland for Paddy Twomey, while a return to 7f may benefit Kodi Lion.

KODI LION shaped as if still in good form before the combination of testing ground/step up to 1m possibly caught him out when fourth here 5 weeks ago. Remaining of interest back down at 7f, he earns the vote ahead of Ascot-scorer Mercian Warrior. United Approach is another fancied to have a part to play.

Ascot winner MERCIAN WARRIOR is open to further progress on slow ground and could well follow up. Pearle d'Or is second pick.

THUNDER BLUE has shown a good level of form over this distance this season and his latest fifth over 7f at Doncaster can be upgraded because he raced keenly towards the rear off a steady pace. Stepping back to 6f off an unchanged mark, this might be the day to catch him. Aramram showed a likeable attitude when scoring gamely at Wolverhampton and he must enter calculations off a 2lb higher figure. Land Of Magic is respected most out of the remainder.

Backing SERGEANT PEP comes with slight risks attached given his issues at the stalls but he's talented on his day and a 3 lb rise for his career-best win at Leicester recently looks lenient. Land of Magic will be ridden totally differently and could be a tough nut to crack if allowed her own way, with Aramram completing the shortlist.

In-form 3yos LAND OF MAGIC, Aramram and Thunder Blue bring the strongest appeal, in that order of preference.

MILLER SPIRIT scored in the style of a gelding some way ahead of the handicapper when skipping clear of his rivals in testing ground at Epsom. Despite an 8lb hike, he gets the vote to go in again. Ithaca's Arrow was an admirable third in a warm Newbury handicap over an extended 1m5f last month and he merits respect in these calmer waters off an unchanged mark, while the unexposed Silent Glance is surely better than she showed when last of five on her handicap debut.

Plenty are in with a shout so it is worth siding with BALHAMBAR, who was firmly on the up over hurdles when last seen out in the spring and can now capitalise on a reduced mark back in this sphere for a yard among the winners. C&D scorer Flash Bardot goes very well under these likely soft conditions and heads the list of dangers, although Miller Spirit, Torcello and Silent Glance bring solid credentials to the table too.

The conspicuously in-form candidates are MILLER SPIRIT and Ithaca's Arrow, who both look ideally suited by 1m4f in the mud.

CENTIGRADE offered a lot of encouragement when only just pipped by a smart prospect on his debut at Sandown in August. Ralph Beckett's colt is entitled to improve for that experience and a first career victory looks very possible. His stablemate Majestic Leo is an intriguing newcomer on paper and it will be interesting to see how the son of Camelot compares in the betting. Fellow debutant Sudu, a half-brother to the decent Noble Patron, is another potential fly in the ointment.

CENTIGRADE made a very promising start at Sandown 8 weeks ago, beaten on the post, and could be hard to beat if coping with these different conditions. Ralph Beckett has enjoyed a tremendous year with his juveniles and introduces Majestic Leo and Thosewerethedays in a race the stable has won in the past. Sudu is another newcomer to note.

Ralph Beckett holds a strong-looking hand. CENTIGRADE is first choice, ahead of Majestic Leo.

LADY LA FAY was most taking when making all in a novice event at Ripon and she could prove tough to catch now entering handicaps. A mark of 84 looks workable given the manner of that victory and she edges the vote over fellow three-year-old Power Of Destiny, who is better than she showed in a competitive heritage handicap at York's Ebor Festival and shouldn't be underestimated on the back of a 63-day break. Elladonna and Wintercrack have the form to feature as well.

WINTERCRACK revels in this sort of ground and can defy the handicapper. Power of Destiny had a progressive profile until her York no show and can bounce straight back and provide the chief threat ahead of fellow 3-y-o Lady La Fay.

Handicap debutante LADY LA FAY is taken to build on her Ripon success and follow up. Wintercrack is second choice.
