Woolfall Treasure hasn't always been one for maximum faith, but doing little wrong at present, good efforts to be placed at Ascot and Salisbury in recent weeks, and not out of this if in similar mood.

Zuider Zee has been knocking on the door this season, and found bit more improvement when third in Old Borough Cup at Haydock last time. Got to be high on the shortlist.

Bay Willow is a front runner who scored at Meydan (11f) in February. No impact in 3 runs back on these shores this summer, although wide draw some excuse for poor showing at York last time.

Bowdler's Magic was twice successful at up to 1¾m in 2010. Down to last winning mark now and clearly signs he's ready to take advantage when close third at Chester last week, running on well from rear.

Huff And Puff returned from absence to land 5-runner handicap at Bath (1¼m) in April. Back to form in cheekpieces of late, and proved stamina for this trip when second at Haydock last time. Now tried in a visor.

Rockfella took advantage of reduced mark to score at Folkestone (1½m) in April, and back on the mark over 13f at Newbury last time, making all and holding on gamely. Up in the weights, but respected.

Hayzoom won maiden at Chepstow in 2010, and kept form well afterwards. Shaped well over inadequate trip on return, but again got going too late over 1¾m last time, and may need even further to excel.

Thubiaan didn't need to replicate his runner-up effort at Haydock in June to go one better at Pontefract following month. Bit disappointing in hot 1¾m handicap at York last time, but not written off.

A Boy Named Suzi was off the mark on second start for current yard when landing Wolverhampton maiden in June, and run well on all 3 handicap starts, winning 1½m event at Kempton last time. More needed to defy new mark.

Timeform 1-2-3
1. Zuider Zee
2. Bowdler's Magic
3. Thubiaan

Timeform's View: Hard to rule out any but Zuider Zee is taken to gain reward for a series of good efforts in defeat. Bowdler's Magic is back to his last winning mark and is feared after an encouraging effort last time, while Thubiaan is better than he showed at York.
