Seacruiser was sent off favourite on his debut when finishing fifth at Goodwood earlier in the month and that experience is unlikely to be lost on Ralph Beckett's colt. That being said, he faces some very interesting newcomers on paper with NAVAL COMMAND appealing most. A half-brother to St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov, who also made a winning start to his career, it seems noteworthy that he already boasts a Group 1 entry in the Futurity. Devil's Advocate and Kingmaker are others likely to go well.

A field mostly made up of newcomers and the betting will likely prove a good guide. NAVAL COMMAND ticks plenty of boxes on paper and is seemingly the choice of Buick, so earns the vote before market clues. Present Times and Devil's Advocate are two other blue bloods to keep a close eye on, while Seacruiser showed promise on his Goodwood debut and can put that experience to good use.

Holding the Group 1 entry in a month's time and looking the stable first string today, NAVAL COMMAND appears the most likely winner.

CELEBORN looked a useful prospect when scoring on his first start at Leicester before getting withdrawn ahead of his intended second career outing at Doncaster due to being upset in the stalls. Gelded after that, he shaped well on his only outing since when third at Salisbury and an opening mark of 80 may well underestimate his true ability. Olympus Point has run with credit on all three starts to date and is expected to be in the mix, while Chepstow maiden winner Louie The Legend completes the shortlist.

CELEBORN acquitted himself well on slow ground at Salisbury earlier this month and remains with potential. He gets the nod here. Olympus Point and Louie The Legend are feared most.

The top three may bring the most potential, in which case it would be best to concentrate on them, and CELEBORN gets the vote.

FUNNY STORY has been mostly consistent this season barring a rare blip at York in July. On the evidence of form shown in Listed company at Chester and here on the July Course last month behind Quinault, the four-year-old could take full advantage dropping back into handicap company. Dance And Romance is capable of better making just her sixth career start and she is likely to go well along with Pinafore, who is tried in a visor for the first time.

EXECUTIVE DECISION has shaped well when making the frame on her last 2 starts, having to make her ground away from the principals at Ascot on her latest outing, so she could be ready to strike from 3 lb below her last winning mark. Funny Story isn't taken lightly as she makes her first handicap start of the season, with Dance And Romance also considered.

The forecast rain will be no hindrance to FUNNY STORY and she can defy top weight at the expense of Sophia's Starlight.

Having overcome a slow start when maintaining his unbeaten record over 6f at Ascot earlier this month, Diego Ventura looks likely to improve for going up to 7f. The Mehmas colt shouldn't be underestimated, but MONUMENTAL is likely to prove difficult to beat. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt arrives on the back of a close-up second in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Symbol Of Honour also has the form to feature.

MONUMENTAL has improved a chunk with each of his four runs to date so rates a confident choice to go one better than his recent fine second in Doncaster's Champagne Stakes. Charlie Appleby's consistent Symbol of Honour appeals as the one to chase home Aidan O'Brien's son of Kingman ahead of The Waco Kid and Huscal.

Top rated MONUMENTAL gets the vote but Symbol Of Honour and The Waco Kid are certainly feared with further progress plausible.

Boasting a rating of 114, AL NAYYIR boasts leading claims on the back of his narrow second in the Group 2 Lonsdale Cup at York last month. Tom Clover's charge makes plenty of appeal dropping into Listed company and he can get the better of Night Sparkle. The daughter of Postponed finished four lengths behind the selection on the Knavesmire and a subsequent runner-up effort in the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster shows that she is still in good heart. Harbour Wind should make his presence felt as well.

AL NAYYIR was just about better than ever when making Vauban pull out all of the stops in the Group 2 Lonsdale Cup on last month's stable debut and a reproduction of that form will see him very hard to beat in listed company. Harbour Wind must concede weight all round but he's a likable type with an excellent strike rate, while Fighter is the unknown quantity in the race.

The level of achievement shown by AL NAYYIR (nap) in the Lonsdale at York last month is a shining recommendation at this lower level.

BALTIC appears to go from strength to strength, making it five wins in a row at Newcastle latest, and he can defy a further 4lb rise in the ratings to complete the six-timer. Easy Lingfield maiden scorer Candyman Stan starts handicap life off a workable mark of 80 and he must enter calculations, while Wonder Kid and Fighter Command are others to watch out for.

BALTIC stretched his unbeaten record in handicaps to 5 at Newcastle a couple of months ago and, with his level of ability yet to be ascertained, Harry Charlton's progressive colt is fancied to go in again at the expense of Candyman Stan, who completed a simple task in a Lingfield maiden earlier this month and can kick on now handicapping for his top yard. Fighter Command can edge out Macari for minor honours.

Baltic has been racking up the wins but another chance is given to WONDER KID who was going great guns prior to his latest start.

Where's Freddy was narrowly denied over 7f here last Saturday and he should go well stepping back up in distance, while Terries Royale also makes plenty of appeal following solid win and placed efforts at Ascot and Doncaster respectively. However, AMSTERDAM is less exposed than the aforementioned pair and produced his best effort yet when stepped back up to 1m at York last time. Down in class off just 1lb higher, he rates the one to beat.

CLASSIC ENCOUNTER shaped very well having had 9 months off when fifth in a Newcastle novice 16 days ago having been caught further back than ideal. Now handicapping from what could well prove a lenient mark, he earns the vote, ahead of Mick Appleby's Terries Royale who patently shaped best when runner-up at Doncaster 11 days ago. Amsterdam and Pressure's On are another pair to consider in an interesting finale.

A rising force in 1m handicaps lately, TERRIES ROYALE gets the vote ahead of Classic Encounter and Where's Freddy.
