Horse silk
Byres Road17
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR:  77
Made a promising start to his career and won a Chelmsford City maiden in good style but never really kicked on from that over the summer. Didn't get a clear run on return to the AW last time out and warrants respect.

Horse silk
Torment17
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR:  73
Won a nice looking maiden on debut but has been disappointing since and opposable from a tough draw.

Horse silk
Rivers Of Asiat30
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: P J McBride| OR:  72
Still a maiden and hasn't been pulling up any trees in several attempts around Chelmsford recently. Jockey booking one of the few positives.

German Whip103
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch(3)| T: G & J Moore| OR:  71
Put back-to-back victories together at the end of the summer and finished third of 14 last time out at Kempton. The winner of that race has come out and won again since and he's a danger to all if ready to go after an absence.

Horse silk
Footlight22
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR:  70
Two-time winner who has been hit and miss in her career so far. Raced here once before and possibly didn't enjoy the tight nature of this track but leading claims nonetheless.

Horse silk
Polymnia16
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle(5)| T: R Hannon| OR:  68
Unlucky not to have got off the mark but has had easier opportunities than this and inexperienced claimer booked.

Horse silk
Music Major24
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Adam Beschizza| T: M J Attwater| OR:  67
Course winner who usually gives his running. Probably better over a mile than the 7f tried last time and a definite player if things drop right for him.
11

Horse silk
Ebbisham31
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR:  67
Very hit and miss and not one to rely upon (beaten favourite on several occasions) but the booking of the champion jockey suggests a big run is expected.

Horse silk
Pc Dixon113
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: George Downing(3)| T: M R Channon| OR:  67
Unplaced on all six starts and handicap mark may need to fall further before becoming of interest.

Kristoff93
Age: 3|  Weight: 7-6| J: Rhiain Ingram(7)| T: J R Boyle| OR:  45
Operating from out the handicap and may be deployed as a pacemaker for stablemate.

Forecasts

German Whip (7/2), Ebbisham (4/1), Music Major (5/1), Byres Road (6/1), Rivers Of Asia (7/1), Torment (7/1), Footlight (14/1), Polymnia (16/1), Pc Dixon (25/1), Kristoff (66/1)

Verdict

GERMAN WHIP was in fine form when last seen in September and if he's ready to go after a short absence, he should prove tough to beat. Footlight can be tough to predict and may prefer a more galloping track but if she finds her best form she is dangerous to rule out. Music Major's running style can leave him a hostage to fortune but he's a consistent sort and should be thereabouts once more. 1. German Whip 2. Footlight 3. Music Major
