Bill Plumb returned to winning ways at Yarmouth last month but a 4lb rise will make life tougher for him here. With that in mind, preference is for CARGIN BHUI, who was only beaten half a length into third over 6f at Carlisle last time and the handicapper looks to have been generous to leave him on the same mark. The recent Southwell third Mattice may prove to be the main threat on this occasion.

Cargin Bhui looks set to go close but PROFITEER goes well at Pontefract and is tentatively preferred.

The one to beat is clearly KIND TOUCH, who made a winning debut over 5f at Ripon last month and the third from that contest has won subsequently. With the prospect of more to come, Richard Fahey's colt can maintain his unbeaten record. Qila was far from disgraced when fifth on his racecourse bow earlier in the month and has to be noted as a result. Any market support for either of Master Of Shanghai or Starmade would be of interest.

Kind Touch is greatly feared but a chance is taken instead on FOZZIE, who ran well for a fair way on his 7f debut.

SILVER CHAMBER only just failed to follow up her Ripon success when a head second at Windsor last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give William Haggas' filly a big chance here, despite being on a career-high mark. The consistent Percy's Daydream is likely to be in the mix once again, while Twilight Moon and Yorkshire Lady complete the shortlist.

None of the five fillies and mares can be dismissed but SILVER CHAMBER (nap) gets that little bit better every time she runs.

There are no outstanding claims in this line-up, but it is SALARIA who makes the greatest appeal. Charlie Clover's new recruit didn't see out 1m4f at Catterick when last seen in May but she had been largely consistent prior to that and a breakthrough triumph should not be far away. Shabu Shabu has proven far more effective on the turf so his latest Kempton effort is best forgiven. Free Pic is another to note.

This doesn't look like it will take too much winning and it may pay to take a chance on handicap debutant KINGS COLLEGE.

Sweet Kiss got up in the closing stages to score under Jake Dickson at Leicester recently and the daughter of Ulysses merits plenty of respect. However, preference is for LIGHTS GO DOWN. Mick and David Easterby's gelding bumped into a progressive rival when filling the runner-up spot at Ayr in July and compensation could be on the cards. Space Raider is a player too.

This looks competitive but SWEET KISS has struck up a good partnership with Jake Dickson and escapes a penalty for her latest win.

William Haggas landed the corresponding event 12 months ago and could do so again courtesy of National Park, who sets the standard with an official rating of 81, although INFLUENTIAL is preferred. Roger Varian's colt made a pleasing introduction at Yarmouth in May and should be more streetwise this time. Bambalam enters calculations, while market support for debutant Neptune Street would be noteworthy.

This looks a good opportunity for NATIONAL PARK to get off the mark. He showed promise in the spring on his first three starts.

YOUNG MERLIN was rated as high as 78 in his pomp and made a pleasing debut for the Rebecca Menzies stable when runner-up off this mark of 60 at Musselburgh in July. A change of scenery might be just what the nine-year-old needed and, with the talented Elizabeth Gale taking 5lb off his back, he is fancied to play a leading role. Dereham has been running consistently well this year and should give another good account, while Captain Potter has every chance.

Third in this last year, DEREHAM returns in good nick and looks almost certain to run his race again.

Altmore made an encouraging stable debut for Edward Bethell when a staying-on third over 7f at Southwell and he's of huge interest stepping back up in trip off the same mark, but MILTEYE shades the verdict in receipt of 8lb. The five-year-old has been in excellent form of late and, with Aiden Brookes' claim taken into consideration, he effectively lines up off the same mark as when readily making all at Carlisle latest. Great Blasket and Garden Oasis are others to keep an eye on.

A good handful to consider but SWIFT SALIAN has been shaping like he's about to peak again and is drawn to attack.
