Eilean Dubh meets Blue For You on identical terms as when defeating him in this 12 months ago but, though both merit the utmost respect, a chance is taken on ISLA KAI. Nigel Tinkler's gelding finished fourth behind that pair last year, having been sent off as favourite, but he is now far better off at the weights and that could see him reverse the form. Wild Lion and Aramaic are just two others to consider.

BLUE FOR YOU wasn't at his best in last month's Royal Hunt Cup yet, the return to this more speed-favouring track rates a plus and, having shaped well on return in a C&D handicap at the Dante Meeting, he could well be worth chancing to get back to winning ways from an easing mark. Dual C&D winner Eilean Dubh comes here on the back of success at Hamilton and is feared, with La Trinidad and Wild Lion others to consider.

Having been a game winner over 7f here in first-time cheekpieces last month, WILD LION can follow up now back up in trip.

REGIONAL, a winner over course and distance in May, took another step forward when landing the Achilles Stakes at Haydock last month and a repeat of that level of form will make him hard to beat here. The versatile Silky Wilkie is another key player given that he has shown some sparkling form this season. Great State appeals most from the three-year-olds and, along with the class-dropping filly Queen Me, commands respect getting weight from the older horses.

Plenty to consider with SILKY WILKIE shading the vote having been unlucky not to defy top weight in the "Dash" at Epsom. The thriving Regional has obvious claims under a penalty, while there are some interesting 3-y-os taking their chance, notably Queen Me, who was beaten less than 3 lengths in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.

Silky Wilkie is a strong second choice but there could be some value in siding with the unexposed 3yo KERDOS.

A wide-open renewal of this valuable contest but marginal preference is for SONNY LISTON, who was the first home from his group when second in the Royal Hunt Cup. Off the same mark, the four-year-old could be hard to beat now upped in trip. Nobel is an obvious threat following his facile Newcastle success a couple of weeks ago and he remains open to improvement on just his sixth start. It would be no surprise to see Majestic and Certain Lad go well for Jack Channon, while Long Tradition and Spirit Dancer complete the shortlist.

Any number to consider but SEA THE CASPER turned an AW handicap into a one-sided affair on reappearance a month ago and with that display backed up by a punchy timefigure, he looks ahead of his mark under a penalty. Long Tradition was expertly prepared to make a winning return to the track at Chelmsford and he's a massive threat, with Sonny Liston, Millebosc and Spirit Dancer completing the shortlist.

William Haggas has a good record in this race and this year's running could go to MILLEBOSC (nap). Long Tradition is a danger.

A comfortable winner of the Ormonde Stakes at Chester in May, dual C&D scorer HAMISH arrives in fine form and even though he has to shoulder a 3lb penalty, he is clearly the one to beat. One Evening appears an improving filly and shaped as though she can progress again for stepping up in distance when keeping on for second over 1m4f at Pontefract. She gets the danger vote ahead of classy stayer Tashkhan, who is back on home soil following a fair fourth in France.

HAMISH boasts a very healthy 4-5 record at Group 3 level and a 3 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop him going in again. Tashkhan is preferred to One Evening for the forecast spot.

Assuming that the ground has turned softer than good, this should be an excellent opportunity for the admirable HAMISH.

SCOOPS AHOY looked to be out of his depth when contesting the Windsor Castle, but this should be much more to his liking and the step up in trip could bring about further improvement. Conditions are in his favour as well and he may have too much for Onigiri, who was a taking winner on debut at Redcar before finishing down the field in the Queen Mary. Biloxi Boy is another to consider for last year's winning connections, along with Specific Times and Ticktyboo.

The form of ONIGIRI's debut has a strong look to it and she's easily excused her only subsequent run at Royal Ascot, so she's fancied to get back to winning ways off an appealing mark. Arc Shadowfax seems likely to put up another solid showing and Classy Clarets deserves respect.

The filly CALLIANASSA caught the eye when sixth in the Hilary Needler at Beverley and earns the vote ahead of Arc Shadowfax.

ROBERT JOHNSON arrives in the form of his life, having landed a fourth victory of the season at Musselburgh earlier in the month, and Philip Kirby's gelding may have even more to offer over staying distances. Kalamity Kitty was progressive in the early part of 2022 before a lengthy absence, but she ran with plenty of credit when returning at Kempton and is capable of further improvement. Others worth noting are Malakahna, Sharp Distinction and Single.

SHARP DISTINCTION is still a maiden but there were positives to glean from his latest effort at Kempton and, if he puts his best foot forward back on turf, a deserved first taste of success could be on the way. Robert Johnson is clearly thriving and rates the main danger, while Kalamity Kitty, who was hot on the heels of the selection at Kempton, is also high on the shortlist. Malakahna is another with decent claims.

This looks wide open but it might be worth sticking with the progressive ROBERT JOHNSON, who was won four of his last five starts.

Novak has been risen 10lb after a hat-trick of wins at Ayr and Hamilton and he's one to keep on side but he may be vulnerable to some better-treated rivals, such as ABATE. Adrian Nicholls' charge has been running consistently of late and, dropped 1lb in the ratings, he appears primed to offer another bold showing. Fantasy Master regained the winning thread at Doncaster and arrives here with a squeak, while Doctor Khan Junior is just one other who could feature in a deep race.

Course winner GHATHANFAR hinted at a revival when fifth at Thirsk last time out and is taken to build on that and capitalise on a handy-looking mark now. Novak rates the obvious threat in his bid for a four-timer with Doncaster scorer Fantasy Master and in-form pair Rathbone and Abate completing the shortlist.

A wide-open sprint can go to GHATHANFAR who has a solid record at York and is well handicapped despite top weight.
