Even though SHE'S A GAMBLER has to shoulder a 7lb penalty following a pleasing win on her debut at Wetherby last month, she receives a fillies' allowance and looks the one to side with.
Her dam was Italian Listed-placed during her career so there is likely more in the daughter of Cotai Glory's locker.
The unraced Nobility Blue is feared most, although fellow newcomer Kesteven Rda warrants a market check.
BEECHWOOD STAR is out of Group 3 winner Ponty Acclaim and is taken to make a successful start to his career in a fairly open contest.
A full-brother to C&D scorer Claim The Stars, Richard Fahey's colt is fancied to get the better of Beyond Borders, who can build on a fair fifth over this distance at Ayr last month.
The progressive Mr Irrelevant is another to consider.
Hey Mr took a big step forward when scoring over 5f at Nottingham last week, but that was arguably the result of a falling handicap mark and he could struggle under a 5lb penalty.
Therefore, a chance is taken on CANARIA PRINCE, who has been consistent of late and can improve from a fair third at Ripon now off 1lb lower.
Spanish Angel also merits consideration with his recent consistency in mind.
QUERCUS may have disappointed at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, but he did well at Catterick the time before and the six-year-old must hold strong claims if bouncing back to that sort of form.
Golden Gal has been consistent this season without getting her head in front and she is a key player, alongside Peachey Carnehan and Ginato, who was beaten just half a length into third at Ripon.
MUBHIJAH may still be a maiden after eight starts, but she has been runner-up on three of her last four outings and the daughter of Shamardal deserves a change in luck.
The Roger Varian-trained filly can get the better of Laoisman, who had Onslow Gardens a couple of positions behind him when third at Doncaster last time out.
Eyeshadow is another with the potential to improve for going up in trip.
This can go the way of BIPLANE, who has been in terrific form of late and stuck her neck out to score at Redcar on her most recent start.
A 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient and she gets the vote ahead of Lilikoi and Rocket Rod, who was a determined winner at Doncaster last time out.
Others to note include Blackjack, Honour Your Dreams and Temper Trap.
A game winner over 5f at Chester in May, DANGER ALERT now makes his debut for the Alice Haynes stable and the improving three-year-old rates the one to beat off 6lb higher.
He is yet to finish outside the first two in handicap company and, with further progression likely, gets the vote from the class-dropping Mr Wagyu.
Rock Of England found only one too strong when attempting to supplement a Hamilton victory at Ripon and is another to consider.
A stiffer stamina test will suit ROCK N ROLL PINKIE, given she seemed outpaced over 1m4f at Leicester. She is rated 3lb higher than when breaking her duck over this distance at Wetherby before that, but Elle-May Croot takes 7lb off her back so Ivan Furtado's filly seems fairly well treated. Grain Of Hope remains unexposed and could have more to offer, while Timewave completes the shortlist in a first-time visor.
