Silver Quay^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: G Baker| T: J A Osborne| OR: 86

7/4

Ran a sound race over 1m4f last time out and interesting stepped up to 2m for the first time. Track debut but previous best form has come on the AW so more interesting than some.

Form: 870549

Cotton Club²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: B R Millman| OR: 85

14/1

C&D winner who comes here off the back of a career best effort at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. Weight rise sees him close to a career high mark.

Form: 454-714

Luv U Whatever¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: A Mullen| T: M J Attwater| OR: 84

16/1

Should get an easy lead on the front end as he looks to back up promising last time out effort. On a bit of a losing run at present but there have been signs of life recently.

Duke Street⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: L Morris| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 83

9/1

Returns to the Flat after a spell hurdling although did run well in this race last year after a similar break. Looks well-handicapped on hurdles form.

Form: 11210/3

Glan Y Gors^h¹⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: T Eaves| T: D M Simcock| OR: 82

16/1

Little to recommend based on last three starts (last each time) although did run well over C&D last January (five starts ago).

Form: 22087-8

Midtech Star^v¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 82

7/2

Won over 1m6f at track two weeks ago and jockey has won on three of his six starts on the horse. A leading player in this company.

Chartbreaker^p⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Megan Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 80

20/1

Failed to shine on previous AW run and hasn't shown much on previous three starts. Coming back from a small break and that will have needed to have sharpened him up.

Form: 41/-0028

(8)

Aldreth^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Nathan Evans⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 77

10/3

Battled to victory over C&D last time out and now finds himself on a career high mark but that's only a 2lb rise and could yet have more to give.

Form: 565222

Cavalieri^p,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: K Stott| T: P A Kirby| OR: 67

22/1

Previous C&D winner although handicapper seems to have his measure at present. Likely to run well, however, stepping back up in trip.

Forecasts

Silver Quay (7/4), Aldreth (10/3), Midtech Star (7/2), Duke Street (9/1), Ridgeway Storm (10/1), Cotton Club (14/1), Zakatal (14/1), Luv U Whatever (16/1), Glan Y Gors (16/1), Chartbreaker (20/1), Cavalieri (22/1)

SILVER QUAY is unexposed at this trip and comes here off the back of a decent second at Lingfield at the weekend. There have been plenty signs that he'll stay this far and he can battle it out with Duke Street for the victory. Luv U Whatever should be able to get into rhythm on his own out front and could well hang on for the places. 1. Silver Quay 2. Duke Street 3. Luv U Whatever
