He was second on debut at Hamilton on quick ground before that outing, and looks ready to open his account now dropped to 5f. Bugler Bob showed ability at Carlisle last time and has Ryan Moore on top, while Tweed Valley was first off the bridle at Haydock on debut but can do better this time.

ATR VERDICT: Cheekpieces didn't work for Etisalat last time and connections now reach for firsttime blinkers, while Fashaak was given an excellent ride in victory by Adam Kirby on the allweather last time and doesn't look a sure type to follow up. Laqab was a disappointing beaten favourite at Haydock latest but is having just his third start for Ivan Furtado and could improve, although the claims of DETACHMENT are more appealing following his excellent second in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster eight days ago.

Victory Chime is another with his sights lowered, but this can go the way of MULLIGATAWNY, who claimed a first win for 13 months at Ripon latest and remains on a competitive mark with Conor McGovern's 3lb claim taken into account.

Goodnight Girl continues to run well in defeat and should remain competitive after picking up minor money off 2lb lower at Salisbury two weeks ago. Maid In India can go well on the front end, while Procedure is another consistent performer to consider from a good draw. Top Tip: ZIP ALONG (5) Watch out for: GOODNIGHT GIRL Long Handicap: St Andrews 8 7, So Near So Farhh 7 12 ATR VERDICT: Pepper Street benefited from an excellent Josephine Gordon ride when needing every yard of 1m6f to win at Ffos Las and the extra couple of furlongs, along with a stiff finish, will play to her strengths. Angel Gabrial (second) and Rubenesque (third) both went very close at York last time out behind Le Maitre Chat and warrant respect, but BECKY THE THATCHER gets the vote. She has shown good form on all her course appearances but was no match for the reopposing Cray on her latest start over C&D. However, the daughter of Mastercraftsman remains on the same mark which makes her appeal considerably and she can reverse the form on these revised terms.

He was well fancied to oblige for the first time at Goodwood but got going too late and the extra furlong here on a track with an emphasis on stamina can see him get off the mark. Momtalik showed promise on his racecourse debut at Salisbury and he can take a step forward from that performance, while Lady Annalee ran well at Hamilton on her second start but she will need to improve to go one better today.

ATR VERDICT: SULTAN BAYBARS is yet to try his hand at sprinting but it looks an avenue worth going down having nearly got his head in front over 7f two starts ago at Ayr. He is well drawn in stall two and this looks a decent chance for him to add to his solitary maiden success two years ago. Seamster has been knocking on the door recently and is respected stepping back up to 6f, while Cliff completes the shortlist due to his recent upturn in form.
