David Simcock looks to hold a strong hand with Pickering Castle and Fulford Cross (second choice), but the vote goes to Dylan Cunha's improving LICENCE TO CONQUER who can build on his very good Windsor third and get off the mark. Newcomers Lady Of Chivalry and Pebble Dash both need considering too, especially if the market speaks in their favour.[Peter Entwistle]

Fair form shown when runner-up in 6f Brighton novice in April but he came in last of eight on his handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f) the following month; needs to bounce back.
Progressive son of Invincible Army who was blinkered when a very good third of 12 in 6f Windsor maiden 12 days ago; he merits serious consideration with the headgear again sported back up in trip.
21,000euros foal, 20,000gns yearling; Kodi Bear gelding is a half-brother to three winners, notably Zaman Jemil (6f; RPR 97); dam unraced half-sister to 5f Group 3 winner Jessica's Dream; blinkered for his debut but needs considering.
Showed fair form when placed in a pair of novices last autumn, runner-up at Brighton on the latter occasion seven months ago; this son of Cityscape can't be discounted on his seasonal return.
Son of Ribchester is a half-brother to 7.4f 2yo winner Catena (RPR 67); dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 80), half-sister to useful 1m winner My Lord And Master, out of an unraced half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Grand Ducal; the betting can prove an accurate indicator for this debutant.
12-1, shaped well when a debut second of eight in 7f Kempton maiden in February; off since but this son of Lightning Spear has more to offer and is firmly in the picture after a break.
25,000euros yearling; half-sister to 1m winner Miaswell (RPR 81); dam 7f winner (RPR 81), out of an unraced sister to US 9.5f/1m2f Grade 1 winner Bernardini; in good hands and this daughter of Zoustar is an interesting newcomer.
