Mudlahhim was narrowly beaten when third at Wolverhampton last time out, having been successful over the same course and distance (7f) on his penultimate outing.

Scott Dixon's gelding remains well treated judged on past exploits and he is fancied to regain the winning sequence from just 1lb higher than his latest start. The Cola Brasil continues to run well in defeat and he is unlikely to be far away, while Wrath Of Hector is another to consider.

Rodborough was a commanding winner over track and trip eight days ago and the lightly-raced son of Mayson could double his tally under a 6lb penalty.

Birkenhead, who was narrowly denied at Wolverhampton last time, can make his presence felt, along with Storm Fox. Mehmo finished third behind the selection in that same contest and a swing in the weights could see him close the gap.

There is a lot to like about the chances of The Waiting Game, who is still unexposed at the trip and, having won each of her last two starts at Chelmsford with plenty in hand, a third straight success over 6f is a distinct possibility.

Switching back to a Tapeta surface under a 5lb penalty is a slight concern, though, and may open the door for the potentially well-handicapped Autumn Flight and Phoenix Star, both of whom are very much respected.

Deputise had Blackcurrent (third) behind when he landed a classified event over C&D recently but he is 8lb worse off with that rival this time, so the latter has solid clams of reversing that form.

However, the vote goes to Lupset Flossy Pop, who produced her best effort so far this year when fifth last time at Newcastle, where she was short of room when making her move late on.

The three-year-old was kindly dropped 1lb for that display and she could go close.
