Drops to the lowest class for the first time and has not disgraced himself on a number of appearances over this trip in more talented company. One of the likelier types here.
Narrow winner of a similar contest at Lingfield last time. Three pound rise for that victory seems fair and draw is satisfactory. Should go well again.
Former decent handicap sprinter who has lost his way over the past five years and finds himself in bottom class company for the first time. Big player if able to replicate even some of his more recent form from a great draw.
Has been running some nice races in better company than this recently and is a big player if replicating some of that form on a mark he has won off of before. Has the best of the draw as well.
Proved she was on a workable mark with 1L third in a similar race at Lingfield. It's a concern her only two wins have come at Yarmouth, however.
Veteran who showed she still retained some of her ability when winning at 5f handicap at Bath last summer. Has to be a concern that she hasn't won on the AW for almost four years and has the worst of the draw.
Failed to get his head in front in 29 starts so far. Neck second two starts ago was more encouraging but has mostly struggled apart from that, including when well beaten at Wolverhampton yesterday. Drop down in class is only positive.
C&D winner but has lost his way recently. It's a big encouragement that he's 2/2 here though, and he looks to be on a workable mark.
0/5 here and 0/23 on the Polytrack all told, with all six of his AW wins coming at Wolverhampton. Handicap mark is going the right way, at least.
30 race maiden who looks something of a lost cause even down two pounds to a career low mark.
Forecasts
Fabulous Flyer (9/4), Swendab (9/2), Lizzy's Dream (6/1), Justice Rock (7/1), Willow Spring (7/1), Red Flute (15/2), Leith Bridge (10/1), Presto Boy (16/1), Give Us A Belle (25/1), Burnt Cream (66/1)
Leith Bridge has not disgraced himself in better races that this recently, and dropping down to the lowest class for the first time looks to have a chance. Preference though, is for FABULOUS FLYER, who won narrowly at Lingfield last time and looks to be carrying a fair weight following a three pound rise. The relatively low draw will help as well over a C&D where it's important to be on the inside at the first turn. Red Flute is another stepping down in class and is another to consider.
1. Fabulous Flyer
2. Leith Bridge
3. Red Flute
