Poyle Vinnie^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 103

12/1

0/2 on the AW here and scored his first win since July 2015 when winning at Southwell on his latest start. Has the outside draw and that can be difficult to overcome if he doesn't get pace to run at and all his wins have come off lower marks.

Form: 2-31570

Kadrizzi¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 102

6/1

A mark of 102 means that he's got to run a career best as he returns from a break, although he has run well on the AW. Faces some race-fit rivals and will need to be at the top of his game to make an impression.

Form: 65-6952

Kasbah¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 97

3/1

Looks an improving sort and produced a career best last time out when winning over C&D confirming the promise of his previous start. New yard have quickly found out how he ticks and even off a 5lb higher mark looks one to note in this good handicap.

Form: 0-21244

Doctor Sardonicus²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: M Harley| T: D M Simcock| OR: 95

4/1

Dual AW winner but first time that he's run at this track. Last three runs on the AW have all come at Chelmsford the last two over 5f. Chased home a very smart sort in Lancelot Du Lac last time out and if he takes to this track he has a chance.

Form: 1825-27

Zac Brown^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 90

10/1

Front-runner and well drawn for those tactics although he is edging back up the weights after winning off a mark of 85 over 5f at Wolverhampton three starts ago. Should go well again and has a good record for this rider.

Suqoor^p1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: J Fanning| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 89

22/1

Dual AW winner but looks to have been struggling of late and still 6lb above his last winning mark, others look to have a more solid chance.

Form: 934364

Fast Track⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: T D Barron| OR: 87

9/4

Came back from a break to win at Wolverhampton (second AW win) last time out and breaking a long losing run. Hasn't been the most consistent over the past couple of years but is still unexposed on the AW although this is a tougher test than he faced last time out.

Fast Track (9/4), Kasbah (3/1), Doctor Sardonicus (4/1), Kadrizzi (6/1), Dougan (6/1), Zac Brown (10/1), Poyle Vinnie (12/1), Suqoor (22/1), Swiss Cross (25/1)

KASBAH's new yard look to have found the key to him and may be able to unlock some more improvement in this. Dougan has some good AW form to his name and will appreciate this return to 6f while Doctor Sardonicus will go close if he can reproduce his fine Chelmsford effort last time out. 1. Kasbah 2.
