The last time CUSACK ran at this level, he scored comfortably over C&D last month and, having run well when upped in class the last twice, the son of Heeraat is taken to bounce back to winning ways. That may be at the main expense of fellow course winner Loom Large, who shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop in trip, having travelled well over further last time out. Cloch Nua and Red Hat Eagle are entitled to be thereabouts.

The form of AL TARFA's second-placed efforts behind Belo Horizonte still appeals as strong for this grade and he was left with far too much to do at Chelmsford last time, so William Knight's gelding is fancied to confirm his previous promise here. Cusack has remained in good form since winning here last month and rates as a player, as does Loom Large, who was seen to good effect when scoring over further here earlier in the month but remains on a potentially-lenient mark.

This can go to LOOM LARGE, who won over 1m2f at this venue last time. That form has been franked and he is effective over shorter.

ARTISAN DANCER never got a clear run over shorter here last time out, and compensation may await the progressive three-year-old as he steps back up in distance. A winner on his three previous starts, he may have too much for Spirit Of Ash, who won well here last time out, and should benefit from going up in trip. Sophar Sogood disappointed at Nottingham last time out, but is better judged on the form of his penultimate success at Kempton.

ARTISAN DANCER completed a hat-trick across August and September and seemed most unlucky not to extend his winning sequence here last time, building up a head of steam when denied a run on the stand rail well inside the final 1f. He's proven over this trip and is a more straightforward sort than Spirit of Ash, who was most impressive when winning over 12.5f here last week. She rates as the clear main danger under a penalty, with Bobby Shaftoe fancied to complete the placings.

Spirit Of Ash, Bobby Shaftoe and Kiss My Face are considered seriously but ARTISAN DANCER can return to winning ways.

A 4lb penalty for a comfortable success at Catterick will make life tougher for LAST APPLAUSE, but she's clearly on the up and shaped with plenty of promise at this track on debut when a close-up third behind a more experienced, 80-rated filly. Elegant Madame drops in class having finished down the field in Listed company at Leopardstown last time out, while South Kensington is another to note.

Previous-winners LAST APPLAUSE and Elegant Madame could be the pair to focus on, with preference narrowly for Brian Ellison's filly. Riccoboni is an interesting newcomer.

This looks easier than ELEGANT MADAME's latest assignment in Listed company at Leopardstown and she can beat Last Applause

TORVAR is set to go up 1lb for future races after finishing a solid third over C&D last time out, despite having to be switched after failing to get a clear run which cost him ground, and, with Danny Tudhope on board, he won't get many better chances to win a nursery. Fellow top-weight Louella is an obvious danger after going under by a short-head at Catterick, while Dadas Boy may go well if Hollie Doyle can bring the best out of him.

TORVAR has got back on track upped to 6f on his last 2 outings, finishing well after meeting trouble when third at this C&D a week ago, so he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Louella has placed on all 3 of her starts in nurseries and isn't taken lightly, while Socialise is another who merits consideration.

Mart could be interesting on his first start for Dylan Cunha having been gelded after finishing sixth when sent off favourite here in August, but he will need a big step forward to get the better of ZACHARY. A comfortable winner on his only start on the all-weather at Chelmsford last time out, he has a 6lb penalty, but is due to go up 7lb for future contests. He might follow up that success, leaving Lotting's Lass as an interesting alternative after her Catterick third.

MACARONE showed improved form when getting off the mark at Beverley in August, before finding 6f on soft ground too much of a test last time, so he can resume winning ways as he returns to this shorter trip. Zachary made a successful all-weather debut 6 days ago and is feared most, ahead of Lotting's Lass.

LIGHT SPEED was slowly away on his Southwell debut when running green until the penny finally dropped and he can only improve for that experience, making him a potential player here. Moon Flight has the form in the book after a fourth here over a furlong shorter, but he was beaten over seven lengths and needs to step up to get off the mark, leaving Ribble Rouser to look to repeat or better his June third on the return to 7f.

Having made an encouraging start to his career, MOON FLIGHT ran below the level of his first 2 starts when fourth of 8 at this course 3 weeks ago, but he is taken to bounce back returned to this longer trip. He can get the better of Ribble Rouser, who can also leave behind a lesser effort after a break, with Light Speed the pick of the remainder.

The draw is a concern for NOVAK, but it is feasible a berth in stall one might even prove beneficial if the action develops down the centre of the course. A winner over this trip off 6lb lower at Ayr in May, Iain Jardine's gelding also boasts some respectable C&D form and shades the vote in an open contest. Ventura Rascal is feared most of those drawn higher, with Southwell specialist Love Your Work also considered after a respectable second here last month.

LOVE YOUR WORK arrives in good form and figures off a handy mark. He can return to winning ways. Roaring Ralph and Ventura Rascal can also make their presence felt.

SHOWTIME MAHOMES exploited a drop in the ratings when winning at Musselburgh on his penultimate start and, having finishing a close third in an apprentice handicap over C&D off the same mark 18 days ago, he offers strong appeal with regular partner Sam James back in the saddle. Recent Ayr winner Alpine Sierra is unexposed on the all-weather and is another to consider, with Slippin Jimmy and Tuscan a couple of others likely to go well.

Preference is for TUSCAN, who has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper and recent efforts have suggested a return to winning ways is on the cards. Alpine Sierra and Showtime Mahomes should also go well.

Arriving on the back of a couple of near-misses, NOTEABLE is still competitively weighted and, given she is proven on a Tapeta surface, has a solid chance of gaining a first career success. William Pyle has build up a rapport with the selection over the last couple of months and his 5lb claim is a handy asset on these terms. One Of Our Own commands respect based on her recent turf form, while The Gay Blade completes the shortlist from the bottom of the handicap.

This can go to NOTEABLE, who has come close in recent starts and her useful pilot can claim a valuable 5 lb. One of Our Own and The Gay Blade rate the principal dangers.
