More experienced than the rest of the field with 11 starts but only placed once and plenty have better chances on form. Trainer's strike-rate is below 5% on the AW.

Tailed off on all three starts to date, last time at 100/1 over C&D and hard to fancy in a similar contest.

9/4
Ex Irish (Aidan O'Brien), and bought for 10,000 gns in October. Achieved little in both Irish starts but showed much more on first start for this yard at this course last month. Didn't build on that last time but is bred for this surface and trainer's runners should be respected around here.

4/7
Respectable debut at Yarmouth when fourth back in October and improved to finish a close second at Wolverhampton last time. Front pair finished well clear of a 72-rated horse and this colt will be hard to beat if he turns up in the same form.

5/1
Didn't really improve on his debut effort at Southwell last time. Wouldn't be the first horse not to handle the Fibresand at Southwell though and he has an attractive AW pedigree so may do better around here.

Disapppointing on two starts to date, both at this course and she's likely to be seen to better effect in handicaps.

Forecasts

Blushing Red (4/7), Sugarloaf Mountain (9/4), Tewafeedj (5/1), Tambour (12/1), Highwayman (20/1), Ibreeq (100/1), Archibelle (200/1)

Verdict

BLUSHING RED looks like he will be hard to beat on his third start after narrowly missing out last time. Brian Ellison has a fine record when teaming up with this jockey and the first-time hood applied to Sugarloaf Mountain may boost their record at the course if the gelding gets his mind on the job, Tewafeedj can be forgiven a poor effort at Southwell last time and may do better on Tapeta.
