EMPIRE STATE makes her debut but has a place in two barrier trials. Any betting support for her should be respected. MELHOOPEN finished second in her last outing and should be involved in the finish in this contest. VEGAS SUNRISE has her first run after a 16-week break. She is a speedy sort who should be right up there in the mix.
Race 2
KARAOKE EXPRESS showed plenty of toe last time before being outrun late. He could be difficult to reel in over the closing stages here. SENTRY GATE won his maiden last time out and takes on stronger here, but he should be considered with Dom Tourneur in the saddle. HALLO POPPET has consistent form to her credit and will be looking to trouble the top two selections here. SPOTAKOVA was friendless in the betting market last time out but sneaked into the placings. If she is able to confirm that improvement, she should be considered here.
Race 3
AZZUREOUS has cracked pole position and was placed in his last start when returning from a break. The gelding looks to be the one to side with here.

LAZY MOE finished third on debut and would have learnt from the experience. With natural improvement to be expected, he could trouble the top two selections. NIMIR like to race up with the speed and may prove difficult to overhaul over the closing stages.

Any betting support for the 4yr gelding should be respected.
