Anton Dolin^b,e/s¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 50

200/1

Returned to the Flat after a largely unsuccessful spell over jumps last time with an uninspiring effort. His AW record is poor and the eye shield, blinkers combination is tried for the first time.

Form: 00/7542

Captain Swift^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: J Mackie| OR: 65

11/4

Change of tactics worked a treat when racing close to the pace here last month before staying on well to score in a driving finish. Only just beaten next time behind a well handicapped sort and even though he has a bit on at the weights with some of these, he's in fine form.

Form: 361-234

(1)

English Summer^p,t⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68

14/1

A winner of 14 races under rules, including three on the AW. Now getting a little long in the tooth though and clearly in decline.Very poor of late and not placed in last ten starts.

Form: 00-7267

Hallstatt^t²³

Age: 11| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: J Mackie| OR: 63

8/1

C&D winner who is probably a little better on turf but certainly still capable on his day. Jockey booking is a plus and interesting if supported in the market.

Form: 602-413

(2)

Burnside^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: George Downing⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 65

6/4

Still a maiden and mixed form of late but claims on the form that saw him finish placed here twice in December. Looks like the stable first string.

Form: 009432

Marshal Dan Troop^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Georgia Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 60

8/1

Capable of scoring in this grade as proved last time when finishing second in a seller and may go one better than that here if he can take the race by the scruff of the neck.

CAPTAIN SWIFT has been in fine form of late and may be able to record another win on this track if the pace isn't too muddling. Burnside looks the better of the Ian Williams pair and while he's still a maiden, he's shown good enough form to be a threat here. Marshal Dan Troop hasn't had much luck of late but he may be able to get his head in front if he gets more luck in running. 1. Captain Swift 2. Burnside 3. Marshal Dan Troop
