Yoshimi showed more when finishing fourth at Leicester in August and could have a say off the same rating. However, CAPTAIN PARMA took a big leap forward after being gelded to fill the runner-up spot in this grade at Chelmsford earlier in the month and is just 2lb higher. The son of Iffraaj makes just his third start in a handicap and will prove tough to beat. Highland Olly is another to keep an eye on.

Lightly raced James Owen 4yo CAPTAIN PARMA (nap) looks likely to be winning soon based on his recent Chelmsford near miss.

King's Trust took a step in the wrong direction when failing to justify favouritism and finishing third at Goodwood, but he has been gelded since and sports first-time blinkers. Even so, WE'RE GOOSERS looks the way to go. Hugo Palmer's juvenile was touched off into second on his introduction at Newmarket and would have learnt a great deal from that experience. With normal improvement, he could be the one to beat. Any market confidence behind newcomer Extraterrestrial would be interesting.

Hugo Palmer's WE'RE GOOSERS sets the bar pretty high after his promising Newmarket second.

Bushwacker brings plenty of experience to the table and if running to the level of his second at Carlisle two starts ago, he is likely to be on the premises. Rogue Citation showed ability when third at Carlisle on her first start and is noted, but STARLIT CITY gets the vote. Ollie Sangster's youngster ran green when making the frame on debut at Windsor in August and would have benefitted from that experience. This looks a winnable opportunity and he can take full advantage.

There was plenty to like about ROGUE CITAATION's debut third at Carlisle and this looks a decent chance for her.

The Oliver Cole stable can do little wrong at present and this represents an ideal opportunity for JAKARTA to regain the winning thread after narrowly missing out at Newmarket last month. A winner at Chelmsford when last seen in May, True Colors is of interest off a mark of 74 on her handicap debut, while Summer Heat should be suited by dropping back to 1m having shown plenty of pace over further last time.

With the William Haggas stable continuing in excellent form it might be worth giving a final chance to PURPLE RAINBOW.

Now that JAZZ SCENE has regained the winning thread after a determined performance here last month, the four-year-old is likely to have plenty more to come off 2lb higher, with Cieren Fallon a notable jockey booking. Runner-up over the same track and trip recently, after scoring at Redcar before that, Fire Eyes is likely to be thereabouts once again, while Wolverhampton winner Have You A Minute also holds claims cutting back in distance.

Fire Eyes can add to her string of good efforts but preference is for HAVE YOU A MINUTE, who did well to get up last time.

ATOMIC MASS bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort here last month and, providing he's not too keen, the son of Havana Gold can strike off 2lb higher. Dropping back in trip looks like a good move for Naval Ensign after a creditable second over 7f at Yarmouth last month, while Addarella is another to note on the drop in class after being in the first three at this venue the last twice.

The Mick and David Easterby stable started the week with a bang and might be good for another winner courtesy of ATOMIC MASS.

Lahire hasn't shown a great deal in his three maiden/novice starts on the Flat but could prove a different proposition now tackling the handicap ranks. However, BELAYA RIVER has finished in the frame in each of his last three outings, most recently dead-heating for second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over track and trip last month. If the three-year-old is in similar form, he could prove hard to beat. Inlet isn't out of it either.

Although his hanging left last time is a slight concern, lightly raced 3yo BELAYA RIVER has it in him to win a race like this.

Hickton just prevailed by a neck at Hamilton on his most recent start and if transferring that form to the all-weather, he ought to go close. However, WEEGEEBEAR accounted for Heartened (third) when springing a 25/1 surprise at Newcastle last month and the son of Kodi Bear can prove that was no fluke by following up. Aoife's Thunder is a player based on her second in a classified stakes at Chelmsford two starts ago.

This looks tricky but the ones to concentrate on may be WEEGEEBEAR, Heartened and Grizzieblanca.
