Great Expectations^t,v²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: G Baker| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 52

3/1

Well handicapped on old form but losing run now stands at 21 and only has one AW win to his name, coming on the fibresand at Southwell. Improved a little last time with a third at Kempton but likely to need more here.

Form: 7-34767

Krazy Paving^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: Mrs A L M King| OR: 51

3/1

Just one win from 19 starts and seems an inconsistent type. Better last time when getting the run of the race but no certainty to back that effort up.

Form: 0-21216

(9)

Burauq^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: J M Bradley| OR: 50

9/2

Modest but consistent gelding who has been there or thereabouts on each of his last eight starts. Still feasibly weighted if things drop his way, but likely to again find one or two too good yet again.

Form: 2-44804

Pleadings^t,v²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: C Wallis| OR: 50

5/1

Unplaced on all seven starts to date and often slow from the stalls so not hard to look elsewhere in a competitive race.

Form: 0-53999

National Service^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: T J Murphy| T: R Ford| OR: 50

8/1

Not running well of late and this slow starter needs everything to fall right if he is going to make his presence felt. Hard to recommend in current form.

Form: 738492

Bedazzling Lady^v1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Georgia Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 47

20/1

Modest maiden with a couple of bits of placed form on turf and AW to her name. Last three runs have been poor and a newcomer to the fibresand.

Form: 03309-6

Diamond Vine^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 46

14/1

Appears to be on the downgrade recently and but mark has dropped to a basement level as a result and he has won twice here so any market support may prove significant.

Form: 0-75787

(8)

Catalyze^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Danny Brock| T: P Butler| OR: 46

66/1

Returned from a hefty break here last time finishing last of 7 but well being has to be a concern even on second start and previously had stalls issues.

Form: 9/70898

(10)

Nidnod¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45

33/1

Poor last run over a trip too short and while that's excusable, he's not been in any form of late and last win came here on the turf course in 2015. Only placed on the AW once and that came in a seller so hard to fancy.

Form: 707240

(2)

Justice Rock¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 45

14/1

Still a maiden after 26 starts and in particularly poor form of late. Best effort came with a visor on that comes off again today and not hard to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Krazy Paving (3/1), Great Expectations (3/1), Burauq (9/2), Pleadings (5/1), National Service (8/1), Upper Lambourn (10/1), Tahiti One (12/1), Justice Rock (14/1), Diamond Vine (14/1), Bedazzling Lady (20/1), Nidnod (33/1), Catalyze (66/1)

TAHITI ONE drops down to her favourite trip here and she's fallen to a very workable mark so she may be able to get her head in front for the first time since the summer. Barauq is a consistent type and should run his race again and Great Expectations is on a long losing run but would be dangerous if allowed an early lead. 1. Tahiti One 2. Burauq 3. Great Expectations
