Boogie Shoes is presumably not the easiest to train, and spoilt a progressive career curve when bombing out twice in June. Bounced back after a break when third at Ascot last time, though, and stays this far.

Madam Macie benefited a from return to front-running tactics when winning at Carlisle and Hamilton in June but has to bounce back from 2 below-par runs since, shaping amiss most recently.

Silvery Moon is a consistent sort who made it 2 wins from his last 4 starts returned to 1¼m at Doncaster early last month. Trip too far next time and unlikely to be far away despite career-high mark.

Proud Chieftain improved plenty in handicaps in 2011, scoring 3 times, and added to tally at Newmarket last month. Ran as well as could have been expected in face of stiff task in minor event there last time.

Gala Casino Star is a useful handicapper who is in the form of his life, completing hat-trick at Nottingham last month. Race probably came too soon next time and not ruled out despite even higher mark.

War Singer was a useful performer in France, winning 5 of 9 starts up to 1½m. Fit from hurdling when third on Flat return at Newbury before finding trip too short next time. Potentially on a fair mark.

Prussian has been a regular winner in 2012, scoring 4 times, and showed she's still progressing when narrowly failing at Sandown last week (pair clear). Strong claims from same mark if this doesn't come too soon.

Beaufort Twelve is an all-or-nothing type who won sole start at 2 yrs. Improved again this term when neck second at Windsor in July but next 2 runs have been poor. Dropped to a fair mark but risky.

Full Toss returned from 4 months off to win at Ayr in May, and again showed he goes well fresh when making all at Newcastle 2 weeks ago. Opposable off 6 lb higher in this better event, though

Jack Who's He won his first 2 starts at 2 yrs and not discredited upped in class thereafter, often making the frame without winning this term. Often races lazily, so step up in trip may help.

Angel Gabrial is a useful hold-up performer who has thrived in handicaps this year, winning at Sandown in July and Newmarket 3 weeks ago. Likely to have the race run to suit and probably still has more to offer.

Lucky Henry is a Nottingham maiden winner who has shown useful form in defeat this year, good third here on penultimate run. Not sure extra distance is what he wants, though.

Nemushka was a dual winner at 2 yrs, and back to form when landing 9f Yarmouth handicap last month. However, struggled off this revised mark next time and similar scenario awaits.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Angel Gabrial
2. Prussian
3. Gala Casino Star

Timeform View: Prussian is likely to be popular after just failing off this mark at Sandown 6 days ago but narrow preference is for fellow 3-y-o Angel Gabrial, who won at Newmarket last time despite not having the race run to suit. Gala Casino Star has thrived for most of the summer and can be expected to bounce back after a short break.
