This looks wide open but the vote goes to dual course winner DREAMS ADOZEN, who went down fighting in a close second here last week and should make another bold bid back up in trip. Corsican Caper, who justified support with a stylish win over 2m here last Friday, is feared most ahead of Percy Jones and recent Epsom winner Small Fry. Surrey Force still has potential and could find more progress at this new trip.[David Moon]

Dual course winner who handles most ground and has finished runner-up here (2m/1m4f) in her last two starts; up 3lb but this front-runner went down fighting in a close second last Saturday and should make another bold bid back up in trip.
Heavy-ground winner in Ireland last spring but he has form figures of 87905 in handicaps for new yard this season; mark continues to fall but he was well held over this trip at Goodwood (soft) last time and is now 1-10; others preferred.
Won over 1m4f and 2m last year but he's finished last on both starts this term, including a tailed-off effort over C&D (good to soft); visor is now tried and he has plenty to prove.
Both wins have been at Wolverhampton (AW) but placed in nine of his 15 starts on turf, runner-up behind an improver at Bath (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; handles most ground and he should go well again off unchanged mark.
Improved his turf record to 4-17 when justifying support here (2m, heavy) last Friday, on his first run back with Kevin Frost; up 4lb but that was a stylish win from off the pace and this drop back in trip is no problem; interesting contender.
His last eight runs have been at this track; started off for this yard with a win and close call over 1m4f in May but he's been well held in last two runs; seems versatile ground-wise and has won over C&D but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip.
Made a promising start when third of 11 at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) in July; hasn't gone on from that in two AW runs since but he had a tough task behind a runaway winner at Southwell (1m4f) last time; pulled hard in that race and will need to settle better upped to this trip but it's still early days for this 3yo and he needs a close look on handicap debut.
Ordinary hurdler/chaser who has struggled in 1m4f novice events at Southwell (200-1) in his last three runs; now goes up in trip on his Flat handicap debut but he needs to show a lot more; cheekpieces reapplied.
Off the mark with a game win at Ripon (2m, good to firm) last month but he was a well-held third under penalty here (2m, good) three days later; that may have come too soon but he was never dangerous and needs to kick on again on this drop back in trip; cheekpieces added.
Ex-Irish maiden with a record of 0-7; went close on handicap/stable debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in February but he's not gone on from that and was beaten 6l when third here (1m4f, soft) last Saturday; looks worth another go at this trip but he needs to get back near his best.
Clearcut winner at Nottingham (1m6f, good to soft) in June but disappointing since and beaten 16l back at Nottingham last month; now only 2lb higher than for that last win but she needs to get back on track.
Ex-Irish gelding who made it 2-5 for current yard when scoring at Epsom (1m4f, soft) last Thursday; up 5lb but that was a comfortable win and he chased home a major improver over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate run; respected back up in trip.
Recorded his fifth AW win when scoring at Kempton (2m) last month but this is tougher off 3lb higher back on turf and he's 1-19 in this sphere; has some work to do back up in grade.
Seven-time turf winner who is suited by good or slower ground but he returned from a long absence with a laboured effort at Hamilton (1m5f, heavy) 17 days ago; beaten 18l at a big price in that race and he needs to leave that form miles behind.
0-7 but placed in his last two handicaps, including a close second at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 16 days ago; this is a new test back on turf but he's a half-brother to a 14.5f winner and has claims if he can continue the good work.
