First Experience^v⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Louis Steward⁽³⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 76

13/2

Two time C&D winner with four of her six wins coming over today's trip but is vulnerable for win purposes off a mark this high.

Form: 322264

Nag's Wag¹²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: George Baker| OR: 74

8/1

Value for more than the winning margin suggests when last seen at Kempton in the summer. She's a consistent sort so if she stays the extra furlong and fit after an abscence, she's difficult to beat.

Form: 6-07725

Tegara²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 71

5/6

Well backed when winning a Kempton maiden in August. However, the form of that race doesn't look particularly strong and her career has been blunted by several absences to date. Not without a chance in a weak contest such as this.

Form: 4132-19

Binky Blue^h³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 66

8/1

Two-time C&D winner who is only 1lb above her last winning mark. Positive jockey booking and hard to rule out if coming on for her return here last month.

Form: 97B529

Arize³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: D H Brown| OR: 66

12/1

Sole win over C&D at the start of the winter but failed to build on that and she has a patchy profile overall. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 41-2497

(6)

Miss Goldsmith²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 62

11/2

Exclusively raced on the AW and current strike-rate sits at zero from six. Signs she was getting her act together last time out benefiting from a smart ride but others hold stronger claims.

Form: 4-50482

Several C&D winners in this field, but the most interesting one looks like George Baker's runner. NAG'S WAG looks tough to beat and her consistent profile earns her the vote here. If she's in need of the run returning from a break, Binky Blue could be the one to benefit if she comes on for her reappearance here in November. Tegara makes up the shortlist but she has plenty to prove after an interrupted career to date. 1. Nag's Wag 2. Binky Blue 3. Tegara
