BEAR KODE looks worth an each way interest for 4 places at a generous 33/1. He is a course winner who has shaped like he's be suited by this step up to a mile. He has been eased 5lb since receiving his initial handicap mark last September and has the very capable Oisin McSweeney taking a useful 3lb off from a good draw in stall 11.

SUNSET IN PARIS has won 4 of these Classified Stakes races at this (0-50) grade so is possibly over-priced to win this one at odds of 20/1. He likes a pace to aim at and looks set to get it here with Prince Hector looking sure to try to dictate things from the front. The selection looks a fair each way bet for 3 places but I've backed him with Skybet who are the only firm I am aware of paying 4 places on the race.

RED PANDA is an unexposed 6 year old mare who has a pipe-opener under her belt 29-days ago. She receives weight from her main market rivals here and the application of first-time cheek-pieces could sharpen her up. Each way advised for 3 places in this 9-runner race. For a much more detailed write-up please see my X feed.

HILL STATION was once officially rated 100 over hurdles and has dropped 23lb since then. He showed promise on hs seasonal debut 24-days ago and was dropped 5lb for it. He runs off a career low mark of 77 and has first-time booking Luke Scott taking a useful further 5lb off. Please see my X feed for a more detailed write-up.

KING OF BEARS may have more to offer for the in form George Scott yard (Last 14 days: 5-28, 18%) now fitter on his third start of the season. He has won over 6f, has been dropped 6lb since last September, and may be ready to fulfill his potential. For a more detailed write-up please see my X feed.

LOVE IS THE LAW is the only course winner in the line-up. Not only is the 3 year old filly the only course winner but she is a dual course winner who is 2-2 at the track. One of her wins was also over C&D (7f135y) last August on Good Going but she won here over 7f on today's forecast Good to Firm the previous month. She has dropped 7lb down the weights and also drops in to a Class 5 race for the first time. For a much more detailed write-up please see my X feed.

VOLTERA finished last year on a high with a 3.25 length win over this 7f trip at Ascot in October. He easily beat the Favourite Quirat who has franked the form twice since but particularly by finishing a nose 2nd of 17 in a valuable (98K) handicap back at Ascot earlier this month. made all making a mockery of his 17 rivals in the Class 2 Challenge Cup at Ascot running to a RPR of 111 in the process. This rating leaves the 4 year old gelding very little to find here even with Favourite, Alyanaabi (3/1), who has run to RPR's of 112 on a couple of occasions. However, it does mean the selection will have to hit the ground running coming-off a 238-day break. He won comfortably on seasonal debut last year coming back from a 209-day break so hopefully that won't be a problem. For a more detailed write-up please see my X feed.

MAGS NELSON caught my eye last time only getting going late over 2m4f at Cork 20-days ago. Same jockey and ground here with the extra 1.5f looking like it might be enough for him to get his head in front.

DOCTOR DAUILA may have been let in off a lenient mark by the handicapper making her handicap debut here off a mark of just 50 in this lowly Class 6 (0-58 race). She caught my eye being given an educational ride over 7f at Doncaster in April where she finished well down the field but gave 5lb and a 1.5 length beating to her stablemate Lambournghini who went on to run a good race on her handicap debut at 20/1 when finishing 2nd of 9 over a mile a Ripon earlier today. Richard Kingscote is an eye-catching first time booking who has a 17% strike rate when riding for the yard. For a much more detailed write-up please see my X feed.
