Stable debutant, JAMADA, is the horse to beat here – switching to the powerful Olly Murphy yard after an impressive Irish flat race win.

His dam was a 2m4f hurdle winner, which should see him in good stead for today's trip. Jamada could have too much for his rivals, especially with the stable in red-hot form. He's been strong in the market, too.

If sharp enough after an absence, I’m confident SIREN SUIT has too much class for his opposition. The Churchill colt improved from a fair debut to finish an excellent third at Ascot in April – behind a pair of horses both now rated 100 or higher.

He kept on nicely that day, suggesting this rise in trip would suit. The newcomers would need to run to a high figure to beat our selection.

PERSONAL BEST won over this trip at Ffos Las in June (soft). Clearly a good staying type, the Time Test filly is a solid contender, as we know she ought to be keeping-on better than most. She is still unexposed and appeals to finish in the first three, at fair each-way odds.

METABOLT is one of numerous frame contenders, in this competitive handicap, run over an extended mile distance.

The Night Of Thunder gelding is 2lb below his last winning mark and arrives after a solid fifth at Haydock. He could improve, stepping up in journey, coupled with the application of first-time blinkers. 

I’m intrigued by JACK SPAROWE, who has already seen trickles of market support, for a trainer who knows how to land a gamble. The selection is now a well-handicapped horse – 5lb below his last winning mark.

He is an all-weather winner, who offered encouragement last time at Wolverhampton. A good draw, first-time cheekpieces and the assistance of Billy Loughnane are all positives.

Dual course-and-distance winner LIOSA holds genuine claims, if able to offer his best all-weather form. He is 4lb higher than when last successful but could have scope for improvement switching back to this 6f journey, after a fine third over 7f last time.
