The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Waiting All Night narrowly accounted for Star Of Orion (second) when scoring at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago and both have to be respected here on the back of those efforts. That said, preference is for FEEL THE NEED, who was far from disgraced when chasing home a very well-handicapped rival when last seen at York in June. Off just a 2lb higher mark, the four-year-old has to be of interest.

This is wide open but LYNDON B signalled he's ready to go in again when an unlucky Newbury second last time out so edges the vote. Waiting All Night comes here in top form so heads the list of dangers, although Star of Orion, Feel The Need and Havana Blue all bring solid credentials too. Mr Baloo completes the shortlist.

Judged on 2023 data, northern raider HAVANA BLUE (nap) looks capable of following up his Beverley win. Spanish Blaze is feared most.

TAMFANA did not appear to fully see out the trip when fourth in the Grand Prix de Paris last month, but that was still a top effort in Group 1 company. She was previously a close third in the Prix de Diane and an arguably unlucky loser in the 1000 Guineas. A reproduction of any of those efforts would give David Menuisier's filly a big chance here. Doha is another who may benefit from a drop in trip and grade following an encouraging effort in the Nassau at Goodwood. Spiritual should not be discounted based on her C&D win in July, while Bright Thunder and Rolica are also noted.

TAMFANA's last run at this trip was an unlucky defeat in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket so is clearly the one to beat down in class. Likeable older fillies Choisya and Doha can follow her home.

Tamfana is not opposed lightly but a solid alternative is DOOM. The shortlist is completed by Rolica and Doha.

Balmacara has to be of interest having pulled 13 lengths clear of the third when filling second place over C&D on her latest outing in July. A 6lb rise for that effort is fair and another good run can be expected. That said, a chance can be taken with SEAN, who caught the eye when third over this trip at Windsor last time and that followed an encouraging second at Ascot. Involvement should benefit from this return to handicap company, while Wonder Legend must not be written off on just his second start this season.

INVOLVEMENT boasts some strong 3-y-o handicap form and might be the way to go. Fellow 3-y-o Balmacara coped fine with the step up to 1¼m when chasing home Persica here last month and is second choice ahead of Jamie Osborne's Sean.

Involvement and Balmacara are respected but SEAN has been knocking on the door again recently and gets the vote.

The form of MATAURI BAY's debut victory over 7f at Leicester was given a timely boost when the runner-up finished an excellent second in a hot maiden at York last week and, having already shown his aptitude for a stiff finish on a testing track, this son of Lope De Vega might have too much in his locker for these rivals. Field Of Gold looks the main danger to the selection on the back of an impressive victory over 7f at Newmarket last month, while Salisbury debut winner Royal Playwright is also considered.

The Gosden stable's good record in this Group 3 contest swings the vote the way of FIELD OF GOLD over Matauri Bay, with both impressing when landing maiden/novice wins last time. Royal Playwright also looked useful when scoring on his debut and is next on the list.

Some promising colts lock horns in a typically interesting Solario. First choice is ROYAL PLAYWRIGHT, ahead of Field Of Gold.

ROCKIN' THE BOAT fared best of those ridden off the pace when finishing an excellent third over 7f at Newmarket on her debut earlier this month and, with the likelihood of improvement to come, she edges preference. Flight was last seen finishing runner-up behind a smart sort over that same track and trip recently and she should be thereabouts with a repeat of that effort. Of the newcomers, Bayenah appeals most.

The Newmarket maiden in which ROCKIN' THE BOAT was a promising third looked like a warm race and the Acclamation filly is pretty appealing here with William Buick booked and improvement on the way. Flight is likely to make a bold bid to make it third time lucky having found just one too good in each of her two starts at top tracks. She is the clear main danger ahead of likely-looking newcomers Bayenah and Sea To Sky.

Flight is top rated but ROCKIN' THE BOAT ran on nicely for 3rd from out the back at Newmarket. Bayenah is one of the newcomers.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Love Is The Law defied her penalty with a convincing success in a novice stakes at Lingfield earlier in the month and she should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick on her nursery debut. However, IMPERIAL TROOPER looks the way to go. Ed Walker's gelding got off the mark in heavy conditions at Ffos Las on his latest outing and has improved with his each of his three starts to date. With William Buick booked on his nursery bow, he gets the nod. Jet Packer and Pappa Louis are others to note.

LOVE IS THE LAW has a positive profile and was going away at the finish when landing a double at Lingfield three weeks ago, so she's fancied to complete the hat-trick on handicap debut. Art Market can get back on the up having not been seen to best effect at York and there's hope for Imperial Trooper.

Preference is for NEW BOMBAY who won in great style on his last turf start. Imperial Trooper is second choice.

INGRA TOR finished midfield in a deeper contest than this at Newcastle earlier in the month and has been dropped 1lb for that performance. Jack Channon's five-year-old now competes off his last winning mark on his return to turf and that could see him back on the scoresheet. Spring Bloom justified favouritism to complete a Newmarket double over 6f last time and holds an obvious chance off a 3lb higher mark, while Miss Show Off warrants a market check on her seasonal/handicap debut.

An ultra-competitive finale and it could be worth taking a chance on REBEL PATH, who has been finding his way for his current yard but the fitting of headgear signals intent along with the booking of the experienced Silvestre De Sousa. Spring Bloom arrives on a hat-trick, but Robert Eddery's 7-y-o may have to settle for silver this time, with recent winner Good Earth and Lil Guff another couple worth mentioning, too.

The hat-trick seeking SPRING BLOOM can go one better than in the corresponding race last year. Good Earth is feared most.
