Put it all together to resume winning ways at Musselburgh (1¾m) 17 days ago, change of headgear the possible catalyst as he quickened to lead last ½f. Not certain to back that up, however.

28/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Fifth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Redcar (14f, good) 15 days ago, doing herself no favours with a very slow start. Others make more appeal.

5/1

Winner at Lingfield (11.6f, turf) in June who caught the eye in finishing fourth at Wolverhampton (16.5f) 9 days ago, set plenty to do but noted finishing to good effect. One to be interested in.

Forecasts

Metal Man (5/2), One Night In Milan (9/2), Scheherazade (5/1), Three Castles (11/2), Tomorrow's Angel (13/2), Pound Off You (7/1), Near Kettering (9/1), Summer Power (18/1), Lobo Del Mar (20/1), Reassurance (25/1), Vertice (28/1), O'Reilly's Pass (28/1), Yasmin From York (66/1), Tilsworth Lukey (100/1)

Successful at Lingfield in June, SCHEHERAZADE very much caught the eye at Wolverhampton recently, finishing to good effect for fourth having been set plenty to do. She appeals as being on a handy mark and shades the vote. Pound Off You came in for a good ride when successful at Redcar latest and rates a threat from 2 lb higher. One Night In Milan and Tomorrow's Angel complete the shortlist.
