POCKET THE PROFIT opened the season with a nice win Pontefract.

He hasn’t followed up since in four efforts, but should still play a leading role here.

Last autumn he was in red-hot form and took on Bowman once again, and after being beaten by that rival here recently, Pocket The Profit is now on much better terms.

BOWMAN is the other obvious big contender in this one after winning her at Epsom last time out.

To be fair that was a bolt from the blue as there was little to suggest that he had that in him.

Arguably too, Pocket The Profit didn’t get a clean run in the race.

So this will be an intriguing duel between these two again. But Bowman should find the going tougher as he is up 6lb.

DUBAI HOPE lands on the shortlist as well and isn’t out of this at all. Last season was great for her and she brings solid claims.

He also bagged a win in May on his penultimate run, before a credible follow-up at the same venue.

The consistency is there without question, so the filly is one to watch.

Tip: POCKET THE PROFIT 2/1

Ones to watch: Dubai Hope 4/1, Bowman 10/3

LAREDO was a runner-up last time out, which was at Salisbury eight days ago. He was caught late on only.

Laredo returns at the same mark for a top yard, so clearly rates as a danger in this one.

He looks to have more to come but this is a super competitive contest.

BIN HAYYAN is another that warrants respect and she is lightly raced at this distance.

Just over a week ago he rattled the crossbar at 7f on a spin at Beverley, thanks to a positive ride. More of the same could follow.

SECRET STRENGTH has two runners-up finishes to his name in his last three contests.

So he piques some interest as well. His latest run, a runner-up at Kempton, was hugely positive on his first go for a new yard.

Tip: LARADO 10/3

Ones to watch: Bin Hayyan 11/4, Secret Strength 15/2

SAGAUTEUR will be seeking a hattrick on Thursday as he has run himself into some very nice competitive form.

He takes a 6lb rise in the ratings after a win at York three weeks ago. Sagauteur is a good consistent performer and should make his presence felt again.

URBAN VIOLET showed signs of encouragement last time out when she rattled the crossbar at Yarmouth on a 1m trip.

She looks as if this longer trip is going to suit her well as she’s pushed back up. Urban Violet won from a higher mark last season.

LIGHT UP OUR STARS has been in cracking form this season, completing a hat-trick on his penultimate run.

Those three wins were all at Chelmsford City. On being switched to the turf last time Light Up Our Stars was an excellent third at York from this same mark.

Tip: LIGHT UP OUR STARS 5/1

Ones to watch: Hyanna 7/2, Sagauteur 11/4

BELUGA GOLD has laid down some great form this season and is more than reliable enough to make his presence felt again.

The move back up on the trip is a boost for him.

He’s been refreshed after a credible sixth at York six weeks ago. Beluga Gold shouldn’t be far away.

THUNDER LEGEND gets the cheek pieces added for the first time and it’s been positive stuff since switching to Willie Haggas this season.

Thunder Legend was a runner-up at Chester three weeks ago. He stays at the same mark and comes down in class.

ESPRESS)O is worth revisiting despite not making an impact when last seen in the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot.

She had produced some highly progressive form before that this season. A bounceback effort firmly puts her in the picture for racing tips.

Tip: THUNDER LEGEND 5/2

Ones to watch: Espressoo 5/1, Beluga Gold 5/2

Distance: 6f

MAKAROVA missed out on the completion of a hattrick last time as she faced some older competitors for the first time.

She wasn’t disgraced in that run at York. Makarova won back-to-back turf handicaps just last month and is a player.

CRAZY LUCK was a runner-up on her latest, a great effort from being out of the handicap.

She is 7lb higher than her last winning mark, but she is highly respected as she comes down in class.

NOYA is the final shortlisted one in this really trophy contest which is wide open.

On her handicap debut a month ago she was superb in third place finish on a 7f trip at Newbury. Noya has some big claims with further progress in mind.

Tip: MAKAROVA 7/2

Ones to watch: Noya 5/1, Crazy Luck 9/2

ADMIRALTY HOUSE is still a maiden but has been close to breaking that recently.

After a break of four months, he picked up a runners-up finish at Salisbury three weeks ago. It’s the handicap debut for Admiralty House and he’s on a fair mark.

DAIQUIRI was a winner last time out, scoring at Doncaster having been moved up to this distance.

There’s been an 8lb rise making this follow-up a little tougher. But he clearly has more in the tank to tap into.

UPTON PARK is interesting despite entering the handicapping scene on what looks to be a tough mark.

He has been improving well and took a great fourth at Lingfield on his reappearance run. That was progress, but does he have even more?

Tip: ADMIRALTY HOUSE 15/8

Ones to watch: Daiquiri 7/4, Upton Park 4/1
