Yasir¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: J Fanning| T: C R Dore| OR: 61

5/2

Four time course winner who is probably a little better over shorter than this but has been a model of consistency this year. Fallen to an attractive mark in the handicap and he should be able to get his head front sooner rather than later.

Azamesse^t,v1⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: T Hamilton| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 58

11/1

Fairly consistent type on the Flat in Ireland and has performed respectably on the AW surface over there. Having first start for a new yard today and any market support would be notable.

Form: 04-4895

Lineman^b¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 56

9/2

Two time course winner. Very well-handicapped on bits and pieces of form but losing run now stands at 25 and while he ran well here last time he is no certainty to follow that up.

Form: 2-25779

Major Franko^p1²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: S-J Davies| OR: 48

100/1

Pulled up in two recent hurdle attempts and didn't do much better at huge odds here last time. Hard to fancy from a tough draw.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Thomas Brown| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 48

8/1

Still a maiden and will to win has to come in to question with some of the chances he's had. First run for this yard and plenty to find on firm.

Mybrotherjohnny^t1¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Joey Haynes| T: F O'Brien| OR: 45

6/1

Barely beat a rival home on first three starts and not much better when well beaten last time. Has a big break to overcome and an off-putting amount of starts for a 6-y-o.

Sakhra⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 45

11/2

Still a maiden after 39 starts and while he does look capable of winning some sort of race, there looks to be horses a level above him in here.

He's Magic²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: T J FitzGerald| OR: 45

50/1

Unplaced on all five starts, barely beating a rival in last three. Seems an unlikely winner in this field.

Form: 076-69

Dream Serenade^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 50

7/2

Still a maiden but she showed some promise on AW debut and the booking of AW specialist jockey is encouraging. Needs more in this field though.

Yasir (5/2), Dream Serenade (7/2), Lineman (9/2), Sund City (5/1), Sakhra (11/2), Mybrotherjohnny (6/1), Mr Marchwood (7/1), Celestial Dancer (8/1), Azamesse (11/1), He's Magic (50/1), Major Franko (100/1)

YASIR's handicapped mark has slipped to an attractive mark and his consistency gets him the vote here. Sund City disappointed last time out but may have gone off too hard in front and has place claims on the placed efforts prior to that. Irish AW runners seem well-handicapped when running here currently and any market support for Azamesse could be significant, having first start for new yard. 1. Yasir 2. Sund City 3. Azamesse
