Alluring Star has won three of his last four starts and should go well again, despite a career-high mark. Chokidar ran a shocker at Pontefract last time but would have a chance on an earlier this at Newmarket, while Uptown Guy is only a couple of pounds higher than when runner-up at HQ last month having won over this trip at Chepstow earlier in the year. Goal makes a swift reappearance after finishing second at Brighton on Friday and the improving First Class Favour is another to consider. But let's take a chance on MY SINGLE MALT, who takes a big drop in class after decent efforts over 7f at York and Doncaster. This is the first time he's tackled his winning trip of a mile this season and Tom Tate's gelding could be a bit of value conceding weight all round.
