Phoenix Beach, who arrives in good form and will appreciate the step back up to 6f, and last weekend's Lingfield winner Melisende both have claims. Lightly raced Irish import Galel is the one to watch in the market but otherwise KITTEN GLOVES looks on a fair mark now, having been drawn wide on her comeback here in June.[Graham Wheldon]

Successful start for his new yard over 5f here last month and came back to that sort of level over the same C&D a fortnight ago; tonight's extra furlong will suit and he's shortlisted.
Never got in from a wide stall on her 7f (maiden) comeback from 11 months off here in June; twice started favourite for 6f Polytrack handicaps off higher marks last summer and is an interesting contender.
Picked up for 7,000gns in July from Marco Botti; back on his sole winning mark but has done most recent racing over 5f and will need to improve on his latest effort.
Three-time Lingfield winner who seems happiest on Polytrack; fairly treated back on the AW after a six-week break, following a patchy turf campaign, but he's hard to catch right these days.
Notched three wins earlier in the year, including here, and is fairly treated again; has landed the outside stall, though, and Phoenix Beach is perhaps his yard's best hope.
Off the mark on Polytrack last weekend, when backed in from fancy prices; that improvement was put down to having overcome ulcers and she could well be up to defying a 3lb rise.
Big prices and well held in three Irish runs (5f-7f) for Johnny Murtagh; half-sister to two Tapeta winners and the market will be the best guide back from six months off.
Two wins and a third in six runs over C&D; took advantage of a sliding mark at Windsor a month ago but the draw may have had a big say in the outcome there (one of two to race far side) and she's 4lb higher tonight.
Dual course winner who goes well for Elle-May Croot, latterly when making all off this mark at Southwell in February; doesn't have a great record fresh down the years, though, and might need this first run in six months at his age.
Hasn't been seeing out 1m lately but his course win in March came over 7f and this trip looks a bare minimum now from a wide stall; trainer also runs May Remain.
