King of The Dance finished a creditable third over this distance at Newbury on his most recent outing and the gelded son of Havana Gold must hold every chance of being in the mix off the same mark.
However, a tentative vote is given to the class-dropping ICONIC KNIGHT, who could bounce back following a disappointing run at Chester last month.
Now rated 1lb lower than when only beaten a neck over C&D last August, he could be worth chancing. Macs Dilemma is another worthy of consideration.
17:55 - Big Brown Bear
Only narrowly denied over 6f at Brighton most recently, a stiffer stamina test can seal the deal for BIG BROWN BEAR.
Eve Johnson Houghton's inmate shaped as though he can progress further here and he is fancied to get the better of Hadrian's Wall, who switches to turf following a promising showing on Tapeta on his racecourse debut last month. The unraced Per Contra completes the shortlist.
18:30 - Pressure's On
A fairly open contest in which preference lies with PRESSURE'S ON. A half-brother to Listed-placed Crackovia, the son of Land Force is fancied to score on his turf bow following a promising second at Lingfield last month.
Ethandun may bounce back from a mid-division finish at Windsor on his most recent outing, having finished runner-up at Goodwood on debut, while She Is A Keeper is another to bear in mind up in distance.
19:00 - The Cola Kid
THE COLA KID made amends for his short-head defeat at Ffos Las when dropped back in trip at the same venue and the six-year-old, who is 2lb higher for the runner-up effort, escapes a penalty for that success, having won an apprentice contest.
Bama Lama finished third to the selection on Tuesday and is expected to be in the mix, while recent course winner Kyber Crystal is feared most of the remainder.
19:35 - On Edge
ON EDGE shaped with promise on his first run of the year when third at Windsor in April and appears to be open to improvement following that performance.
He is lightly raced for his age, having only had 10 outings to date, and his sole career victory came over C&D last August.
Barleybrown was fancied to give a solid account on his handicap bow at Salisbury and is worth another chance dropped in trip. The Daley Express and Arlecchino's Gift complete the shortlist.
20:10 - Tin Fandango
This is a tricky puzzle to solve and only a tentative vote goes to TIN FANDANGO (third), who had Ocean Reach (fourth) behind him when he was beaten over three lengths on his latest outing at Ffos Las. He remains on his last winning mark and that could help notch up his fourth career success.
The main threat might be Zillion, who wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth at Wolverhampton last time on his return from a 59-day break and could get closer now down in grade.
20:40 - Miss Sligo
Seraphia ran well on her penultimate start at Leicester over 1m2f in a first-time visor when hitting the line well and if he can reproduce that effort with Luke Morris back on board, then he can have a big say, but he could be up against facing MISS SLIGO.
The daughter of New Approach was only touched off by half a length in this grade at Bath last week and that piece of form could prove to be the best on offer.
Magical Dragon lurks on an appealing mark and shouldn't be ruled out either.
