Alfred Hutchinsonp42
Age: 8|  Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR:  100
Four time course winner who appears to be in the form of his life currently. Jockey booking is a plus but has a wide draw to overcome.

Third Time Lucky21
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR:  99
Won the Cambridgeshire off a mark 4lb lower than this but hasn't looked quite the same this season. Has every chance if returning to the form of 2015.

Majestic Moon23
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-2| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Miss J Feilden| OR:  97
Formerly useful performer but losing run currently stands at 14 and looks a shadow of his former self at the moment.

Grey Miragep24
Age: 7|  Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Botti| OR:  95
Very well-handicapped on old form (has won off 103) but not been in that kind of form since AW Final's Day 2015 and disappointed as second-favourite last time out; others preferred.

Lunar Deity23
Age: 7|  Weight: 8-13| J: Milly Naseb(7)| T: S C Williams| OR:  94
Rattled off three wins over C&D in the winter of 2015 and scored a fourth C&D victory at the start of this year proving he was better than ever but hasn't been in that form recently and has a poor draw to contend with.

Mr Bossy Bootst24
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR:  94
All six wins have come on the AW but they came over 7f and he may not be quite the same prospect over a mile. Champion jockey booked.

Georgian Bayv10
Age: 6|  Weight: 8-10| J: Jordan Vaughan(5)| T: K R Burke| OR:  91
Best runs seem to come around Kempton but has won from a mark higher than this and would be folly to rule out.

My Target30
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Wigham| OR:  89
Struggled the last twice off a mark similar to this but all time record here reads 31221 and he obviously relishes the conditions of the course. One of his victories came under this jockey so plenty of positives.

Bold Prediction140
Age: 6|  Weight: 8-8| J: Thomas Brown| T: E Walker| OR:  89
Two-time C&D winner who isn't handicapped out of things and won this race last year. Has also won fresh so he's tough to rule out.

Presumido17
Age: 6|  Weight: 8-6| J: J F Egan| T: S Dow| OR:  87
Has won four times at this course and won nicely at Kempton last time but this much tougher so rise in weights and class may just find him out.

Horse silk
Qaffaal23
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-6| J: Nathan Evans(3)| T: M & D Easterby| OR:  87
Has the kind of running style that the handicapper has struggled to get to grips with and only just beaten last time out. This course should play to his strengths and he could be tough to beat providing he gets the pace to aim at.

Passing Star50
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-2| J: R Winston| T: C Hills| OR:  83
Opened up his career with a hat-trick and only narrowly denied a four-timer by a special type that has thrived in Dubai since but that seems some time ago now and he appears to have regressed. Hint of revival at Chelmsford recently when placing but failed to build on that last time.

Forecasts

Qaffaal (9/2), Third Time Lucky (9/2), My Target (5/1), Alfred Hutchinson (15/2), Mr Bossy Boots (8/1), Georgian Bay (10/1), Presumido (10/1), Bold Prediction (12/1), Passing Star (16/1), Grey Mirage (16/1), Lunar Deity (33/1), Majestic Moon (66/1)

Verdict

QAFFAAL has been a revelation on the AW this winter and he could still be well ahead of the handicapper. Mr Bossy Boots has impressive form figures around this course and warrants respect. Third Time Lucky has proved he has plenty of ability and is capable if bouncing back. 1. Qaffaal 2. Mr Bossy Boots 3. Third Time Lucky
