8/1

Impressive on handicap debut at Southwell last time after a 102-day break and ought to be able to build on that. First-time cheekpieces may see her go one better here but she's been well-backed and failed to deliver on several occasions already in her short career.

14/1

Makes handicap debut after three relatively disappointing efforts as a two-year-old. Better expected on handicap debut but wide draw will be hard to overcome and he may come on for this after a break.

Form: 690-43

11/4

Impressive last time out on AW debut and that race looks reasonable for a Class 6 contest. She's like to carry on progressing and is proven around this course now so may be tough to beat.

Form: 899-121

Dusty Bin²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: S Dixon| OR: 63

6/1

Only win came over the minimum distance but ran well at Newcastle over this trip three starts back. Starts life for a new yard now who haven't been in much form of late. Headgear removed and market can gauge expectations.

Sunovarebel¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: A Bailey| OR: 63

25/1

Unplaced on all three AW starts and opening handicap mark looks harsh on what he's achieved so far. Trainer has just a 2.9% strike rate with his runners here and this gelding may struggle to bolster that record.

Form: 06

Flying Fynn^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oscar Pereira| T: J Santos| OR: 63

20/1

Showed bits of promise on all three starts to date but they looked like weak maidens and more needed in a competitive handicap such as this. Jockey yet to reach the winner's enclosure in 29 rides.

Form: 7-3

Edged In Blue²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jordan Vaughan⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 62

7/1

Finished runner-up behind an impressive winner over 6f at Lingfield when making her return from a near six month break in January. Form not really working out though and needs to prove he can be as effective around here.

Form: 53-261

Nicky Baby²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 61

11/4

Progressing at a slow pace currently but going the right way at least. Went off too fast last time when he went off joint favourite and likely to be better than that here with an ideal draw.

Viola Park¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Ryan Powell| T: R Harris| OR: 50

10/1

Four starts across four different AW tracks of late but acquitted himself well on the first of those over C&D. Hinted at a return to form last time after a couple of disappointing efforts and can't be ruled out in a race as weak as this.

Form: 144250

Whatalove⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 45

20/1

Only beaten one rival home in a total of three starts and declared a non-runner when due to run in November at this course. With that slightly off-putting in itself and looking likely to need the run, she's looks one to avoid for now.

Forecasts

Toy Theatre (11/4), Nicky Baby (11/4), Seaview (4/1), Dusty Bin (6/1), Edged In Blue (7/1), Moondust (8/1), Viola Park (10/1), It's How We Roll (14/1), Whatalove (20/1), Flying Fynn (20/1), Parisian Chic (20/1), Sunovarebel (25/1)

NICKY BABY went off too hard up front last time and may be able to make amends from an ideal draw. Toy Theatre's connections do well on the AW in this kind of grade and she looks capable of climbing the handicap ratings while Viola Park has proved his effectiveness around here in the past and the return to this course could help him bounce back. 1.
