Born To Finish^p⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D A Parkes⁽⁵⁾| T: J Gask| OR: 58

15/8

Has a tendency to miss the break and he has a patchy profile but he bounced into form last time out recording his first win with a little up his sleeve and leading claims if building on that.

Form: 131659

(4)

Harmonic Wave^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: R Menzies| OR: 60

8/1

One win from 13 starts but has hinted at a revival recently with the addition of cheekpieces and connections will be hoping they have the same effcet here.

Form: 54-4203

(12)

Storm Trooper⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Aspell| T: D Nicholls| OR: 59

28/1

Out of form recently and yet to record a win on the AW. Others preferred.

Form: 006-530

(8)

Le Manege Enchante^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 58

16/1

Winner at this course earlier in his career and finished a close second last time out. Doesn't always follow up a good run with another but claims if returning in the same mood.

Form: 08302-8

(11)

Emily Goldfinch²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 58

20/1

Best run to date when third of 13 around Chelmsford but she has a tricky draw to contend with today so hard to fancy for win purposes.

Form: 47593-6

(1)

Disclosure^h²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: J L Eyre| OR: 57

8/1

Course winner who is probably a little better over further. Hasn't placed in last 12 runs and no suggestion of a bounce back to form but has the right man in the saddle at least.

Form: 935057

(13)

Pushkin Museum⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: P Morris| OR: 57

28/1

Beaten favourite last time out and has a tough draw to contend with here. Has never won fresh before and while he looks well handicapped, others are preferred. First start for new yard after leaving Richard Fahey.

Form: 113522

(6)

Kyllach Me^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: B Smart| OR: 56

4/1

All three wins have come over C&D and has won from a mark higher than this in the past. The concern would be the five month break to overcome but leading claims nonetheless.

Form: 932001

(7)

Generalyse^b¹⁰⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: George Downing⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A L M King| OR: 56

11/1

Just four wins from 56 starts but is capable if allowed to dominate. Performed well over C&D last time out and claims if building on that but it wouldn't be a certainty.

Form: 24505-0

(3)

Whipphound^p³²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 56

20/1

Three time C&D winner but seems to struggle when his mark gets this high and more relief probably need from a handicapping point of view.

Form: 24160-0

(2)

Major Muscari^p⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: S A Harris| OR: 55

12/1

Two time C&D winner who record a good second around here recently. Didn't get a clear run on that occasion and he was slowly away from the stalls so if things drop right for him here, he has strong claims.

Form: 235783

(10)

Secret Millionaire^p²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 54

25/1

Course winner who is probably a little better over the minimum distance than this 6f. Has been running okay without setting the world alight and is opposable from a wide draw.

Form:

Forecasts

Born To Finish (15/8), Kyllach Me (4/1), Disclosure (8/1), Harmonic Wave (8/1), Generalyse (11/1), Major Muscari (12/1), Angelito (12/1), Le Manege Enchante (16/1), Emily Goldfinch (20/1), Whipphound (20/1), Secret Millionaire (25/1), Storm Trooper (28/1), Pushkin Museum (28/1)

MAJOR MUSCARI got hampered last time out and if he can come out of the stalls better today, he must have leading claims. Born To Finish showed improved form last time and may have been better value than the margin suggested. Kyllach Me is a three-time C&D winner and is capable of getting involved if fitness is no issue after a break. 1. Major Muscari 2. Born To Finish 3. Kyllach Me
