TACTICAL CONTROL seemed to appreciate a step up to this trip when runner-up at Bath last month and he makes plenty of appeal, especially given the fact he has been dropped 1lb by the handicapper for that effort. Zinchenko outran his 200/1 odds when fourth at Kempton and the extra furlong on his nursery bow promises to bring about improvement. Continuance and Bjorn Ironside can fight it out for minor money.

ZINCHENKO arrives on the back of a good Kempton fourth and with further improvement on the cards now upped in distance for his handicap bow he edges the vote. Phone Tag wasn't seen to best effect at Thirsk and is feared most for his in-form yard ahead of the handily weighted Continuance and handicap-debutant Bjorn Ironside.

FAAYZAH had clearly benefited from her debut effort at Newmarket when filling the runner-up spot at Thirsk and a repeat of that display would make the daughter of Frankel hard to oppose. Geliceaux boasts a nice pedigree, coming from the family of Group 2-placed Juan Elcano, and she is of interest along with Regal Jubilee, who is expected to leave behind her Newmarket introduction.

FAAYZAH possesses much the best form on offer so is taken to go one better than his Thirsk second and get off the mark. Regal Jubilee proved very green when last at Newmarket on her recent debut and could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, taking a sizeable step forward. Newmarket debut fifth Rainproof and newcomers Geliceaux and Breckenridge can't be ruled out either.

PHOENIX PASSION displayed a fine attitude to get off the mark on his nursery debut at Yarmouth and a 4lb rise is unlikely to stop Ed Walker's colt from taking another step forward. The extra couple of furlongs may also be in his favour. High Point has been competitive on all three starts to date and he is respected, while others for the shortlist include Beauty Generation and Monterosa.

PHOENIX PASSION took his form up a notch when going in at Yarmouth on his nursery debut last time and a 4 lb rise looks insufficient to prevent him from following up. Beauty Generation is feared most on the back of his Chelmsford City maiden succes with fellow handicap debutants High Point and Monterosa also in the mix.

Blinkers have squeezed some extra improvement out of CABINET OF CLOWNS lately and the four-year-old is fancied to build on his close-up second at Southwell. Repertoire has dropped to his last winning mark and merits respect on the return to class 4 company. David Simcock's gelding may give the selection most to do, ahead of Dream Of Mischief, who won over C&D in July off a 2lb lower rating.

A few with chances but DREAM OF MISCHIEF scored over C&D in July and signalled he's ready to go in again when a promising Lingfield third last time out. Three-time 2023 scorer Azahara Palace appeals as the one to give Amanda Perrett's 3-y-o most to do, although in-form duo Cabinet of Clowns and King of Scotia warrant plenty of respect too.

SILVRETTA sets a strong standard on her comeback second at Kempton, having given the classy Sumo Sam a fright last year, and this looks a suitable opportunity for the daughter of Invincible Spirit to shed her maiden tag. Midream is the only conceivable threat of those who have raced and shouldn't be far away if building on her debut second at Kempton. Invincible Pass and Advantage are two interesting newcomers and any market support is worth noting.

SILVRETTA was just touched off by dual subsequent Group 2 winner Sumo Sam on the second of her two starts as a 2-y-o, and she shaped well dropped to this trip on her belated seasonal reappearance at Kempton 3 weeks ago. She is bred to be useful and is presented with a golden opportunity to open her account here. Midream's recent debut at Thirsk was encouraging and she gets the nod ahead of newcomers Invincible Pass and Advantage (in that order of preference) for forecast purposes.

WESTERN STARS came good at the third time of asking for current connections when triumphing at Haydock. A 2lb rise looks more than manageable for the four-year-old and a quick double could be in the offing. Stage Show may have gone for home too soon when weakening into third at Kempton and is a viable alternative now reverting to turf, while last month's C&D winner Mrembo cannot be ruled out either.

It wasn't a particularly strong race that WESTERN STARS landed at Haydock recently, but he remains on a competitive mark up just 2 lb and is taken to strike again. Though still a maiden following nine attempts, Stage Show has shown enough to suggest that he has a race in him off this sort of mark and he is feared most. Decisive Call took a step forward at Brighton and is also accorded respect, along with C&D winner Greased Lightning.

GEELONG has been in consistent form of late and dropping back in trip can see him at his best, having gone well for a long way over further at Newcastle last month. The four-year-old remains on a workable mark and he gets the vote ahead of C&D winner Major Major and Arenas Del Tiempo, who has strong claims on her penultimate effort at Epsom. Others to note include Between The Covers, Change Of Fortune and Showy.

A tight-knit handicap but GEELONG arrives at the top of his game so edges the vote off a still handy-looking mark following his good Newcastle second. In-form pair On The Right Track and Change of Fortune bring solid credentials to the table too and can chase home Paul & Oliver Cole's 4-y-o in that oder. Major Major completes the shortlist.

PHOENIX GLOW wasn't beaten far at Bath last month and the small step back up in trip looks a good move as she aims to make it two wins from her last four starts. The form of her stable is another plus and she is preferred to the hat-trick-seeking On Edge, as well as Lahina Bay, who did it well at Salisbury last time out. Corinthia Knight and Sparked are capable of being in the shake-up also.

The vote goes to BIG BARD, who was just touched off in this race last year and the first of his three wins this season was gained over C&D in April (sole previous occasion that he has been partnered by Alec Voikhansky). The 5-y-o wasn't seen to best effect at Bath when last seen in August, so shouldn't be judged too harshly on that display. Porterinthejungle can also be forgiven for a below par effort last time and she is next on the list ahead of Corinthia Knight and hat-trick seeker On Edge.
