5/4
Frustrating type that struggles to get his head in front but has won off a higher mark than this in the past. Gets the services of this jockey for the first time today. He can often find the key to these types and recorded a treble at Lingfield on Wednesday. Leading claims.

Well handicapped on old form but losing run now stands at 20 and only has one AW win to his name, coming on the fibresand at Southwell. Failed to place on three starts here and didn't show much last time out, so difficult to fancy.

In good form in October recording back-to-back runner up spots but not in the same mood when returning from a short break in December. Only win on the AW came at Chelmsford off a mark 7lb higher so he looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Not been in much form of late, finishing last of 13 at Chelmsford recently but the drop back down to 6f looks a positive (five of six wins over this distance) and his jockey recorded a four-timer at Wolverhampton on Wednesday. Last winning mark was 9lb higher than this over C&D last year so he warrants respect.

Has failed to place in six starts to date and appears to being regressing. Finished ninth of 11 last time out at odds of 50/1 so plenty to prove.

Improved slightly on third start when finishing sixth of nine at Wolverhampton. The assessor appears to have given her some sort of chance on handicap debut but she needs to up her game here against some AW stalwarts.

Just one win from 19 starts and seems an inconsistent type. Hard to fancy off the back of two poor runs.

Placed just once on the AW from 11 starts and has a tough draw to contend with. Did win as a 2-y-o off a far higher mark but has had better chances than this to gain her second win.

Four wins on the AW and jockey booking appears to be a positive but hasn't been in any form on last six starts so a leap of faith is required he will bounce back after a break.

Forecasts

Burauq (5/4), Clever Divya (11/4), Krazy Paving (9/2), Great Expectations (6/1), Nasri (6/1), Tidal's Baby (6/1), Blanco (10/1), Multi Quest (14/1), Mistry (16/1), Diamond Vine (33/1), Nidnod (33/1), Zophilly (66/1)

Verdict

Jockey George Baker has a reputation for getting the best out of difficult types and he rides BURAUQ for the first time in his career today. The gelding has been in good form without being able to get his head in front lately and his talented jockey may be able to get the best out of him. Nasri is another enigmatic type but the drop in trip might see him return to the from that saw him win over C&D last year. Clever Divya is the only last time out winner in the line-up and holds claims if she can build on her Southwell win. 1. Burauq 2. Nasri 3. Clever Divya
