Oscars Journey^v⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 54

9/1

Has come to hand at this point of the season previously but when in better form than will be the case today. Goes well on this surface.

Form: 0070-36

(5)

Spowarticus^v⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 53

11/2

On a losing streak of 25 races including a lacklustre effort here on Tuesday. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 892588

Pick Of Any^h¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: M Appleby| OR: 53

6/4

Overcame a slow start to land some good bets on debut for new yard. May have improved since sole effort on this surface and he looks the type this trainer can place to further advantage.

Form: 144250

(7)

Autumn Tonic^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: T D Barron| OR: 52

4/1

Has a 1-24 career record. Ran well in defeat here two months ago in lower grade and gets a 3lb pull with Wimboldsley for a neck. A subsequent rise in grade and the weights has seen him struggle since.

Form: 727510

Arizona Snow^b1²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: R Harris| OR: 46

11/1

Has a good record here (one win and two seconds from five starts) but was well beaten on his last appearance here. Two further poor efforts since make him a risky proposition and blinkers represent a change of headgear.

Form: 72-0006

(8)

Allen's Folly¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Molly King⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 45

40/1

Has failed to progress since finishing third on soft ground last May. Well beaten in two starts here over 5f and difficult to fancy.

Form: 099599

(4)

Wotabond¹⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P M Quinn| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 45

28/1

Yet to make the frame in eight career starts. Off the track since October and makes Fibresand debut. Sire's progeny do well here and that is the only cause for optimism.

Form: 7/60-767

(11)

Ormering^p¹⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: R A Teal| OR: 45

20/1

Interesting filly as her best effort came under today's rider on seasonal debut last year. Has been campaigned over a variety of distances since. Stable have been amongst the winners of late and she may not be the forlorn hope she appears at first glance.

Form: 6706-80

(10)

Kanade⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson⁽³⁾| T: E Mullins| OR: 45

8/1

Makes little appeal on form. The fact she is making the trip from Ireland for a race as weak as this will arouse interest. Good local apprentice has been booked.

Form: 900-05

Forecasts

Pick Of Any (6/4), Autumn Tonic (4/1), Wimboldsley (4/1), Spowarticus (11/2), Kanade (8/1), Oscars Journey (9/1), Arizona Snow (11/1), Ormering (20/1), Wotabond (28/1), Allen's Folly (40/1), Let It Go (50/1)

PICK OF ANY is the sort of horse his trainer excels with. He scored off a career low mark on his debut for his new yard and a 3lb higher mark seems generous. Ormering could give the selection most to do. Her yard are in form and the jockey booking catches the eye. She looks the type to go best when fresh as is the case here. Autumn Tonic is weighted to turn the tables on Wimboldsley and should therefore be good enough to reach a place
