Rail Dancer^v1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Winston| T: R Rowe| OR: 50

14/1

Unplaced on eight starts to date but not without market support last time. However, that ended with a 29L defeat and he has a tough draw to contend with now.

Form: 6-13931

Cappielow Park^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Stronge| OR: 49

50/1

Pulled up or tailed off on most of his recent starts over jumps. Looks on a workable Flat mark but still a maiden after 17 starts in this sphere so looks likely to struggle again from a tough draw.

Form: 735/0-74

(13)

Rezwaan^b²¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: M McGrath| OR: 49

7/1

Obviously enjoys it around here having recorded seven of his nine wins at this track. Two of those came over C&D. Off a career low mark now and can't be ruled out as he's run well when fresh in the past.

Form: 07-3346

Spirit Of The Vale^h,t⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 46

9/1

Finally got off the mark in poor race, not dissimilar to this at Newcastle last time. Six-pound penalty is off-putting but likely to remain competitive.

Form: 141254

White Dog^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 48

40/1

Still a maiden after 11 starts but made a promising to start to his career with this yard. Seems to have gone backwards since though. Best efforts have come when racing close to the pace and may struggle to do that here from this draw.

Form: 706-832

Haaffa Sovereign^b¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: M Harley| T: K A Morgan| OR: 47

10/1

Unplaced on all eight starts to date but ran okay last time in what looked like a decent race for the grade. Seems to have improved for the switch of yard and he needs to carry on progressing if he's to get involved here.

Form: 9770/64

(8)

Master Of Heaven^p,t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: J R Boyle| OR: 50

6/1

Placed just once in his first 13 starts before getting his head in front last time. Second from that race has won again since so he must have a chance from 2 lb higher in the weights if Kirby can squeeze a bit more out of him.

Form: 796045

(2)

Frivolous Prince^t,v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: P D Evans| OR: 50

4/1

Been in good form of late and recorded his second career win at Wolverhampton last time out. However, that came in an apprentice race and he's been raised 4 lb for that win so likely to find this tougher.

Form: 438344

(4)

Silver Lining^b1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: T J Murphy| T: M R Hoad| OR: 45

66/1

Yet to get his head in front in 23 starts and barely beaten a rival home in five starts for this yard so readily passed over for now.

Form: 6000-90

(9)

Whip Up A Frenzy²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁷⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 45

20/1

Not got his head in front since he was campaigned in Ireland and the back end of 2014. Has hinted at a return to form in last two starts but this trip probably stretches him a little.

Form: 225005

(7)

Race Time^b1⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: F Sweeney| T: S Durack| OR: 48

33/1

Makes handicap debut but beaten a combined 47 lengths on first three starts. Takes a big step up in trip and appears bred to go on this kind of surface so a market check has to be advised.

Form: 796

(14)

Storming Ambition^b³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 48

200/1

Unplaced on all five starts and has had an interrupted career to date. Needs to show more and this looks a tough assignment from the widest draw of all.

Form: 0-06708

(3)

Brooke's Point^p1¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Keniry| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 48

15/8

Improved markedly on handicap debut last time to finish second of 11 at Bath. Only up 2 lb for that and first and third have come out and won again since so very much respected for a trainer with an excellent strike-rate on the AW.

Form: 062-555

Brooke's Point (15/8), Frivolous Prince (4/1), Master Of Heaven (6/1), Rezwaan (7/1), Claude Greenwood (8/1), Spirit Of The Vale (9/1), Haaffa Sovereign (10/1), Rail Dancer (14/1), Whip Up A Frenzy (20/1), Race Time (33/1), White Dog (40/1), Cappielow Park (50/1), Silver Lining (66/1), Storming Ambition (200/1)

There could well be several well-handicapped runners in here, namely BROOKE'S POINT and Rezwaan with a narrow vote going to the former. Neil Mulholland does well with his AW runners and the form of this gelding's second last time out reads well with plenty of subsequent winners in the race. Provided he's ready to go after a break, he may well progress further. Rezwaan has a fine record here and he's now working off a career low mark. He needs the break to have had a positive effect but he's impossible to rule out. Master of Heaven broke his duck last time out and he's capable of going close again if the arrival of Adam Kirby in the saddle has a positive effect. 1. Brooke's Point 2. Rezwaan 3. Master Of Heaven
