Alejandro33
Age: 8|  Weight: 9-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D Loughnane| OR:  87
15/2
Sprang a 25/1 surprise over C&D last month under today's rider. Has never strung two wins together and handicapper has made it even more difficult to buck that trend.

8/1
Beat Franco's Secret (won twice since) over C&D in December. A line through that horse gives him a clear edge over Alejandro. Requires patient riding and races to work out nicely for him. Yet to win off a mark as high as this.

The Warrior24
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR:  84
5/2
Ex-Balydoyle horse who contested the 2015 Irish 2,000 Guineas. Shaped encouragingly on return from a significant absence following a gelding operation. Record shows just one win in 19 starts but gets an excellent chance of improving that record here.

16/1
Ex-Godolphin horse who was a winner as a juvenile. Has not looked straightforward and an 11 month absence raises concerns. Now with a trainer capable of restoring this type and the market will indicate what is anticipated.

Winner of five races makes AW debut. Past record indicates he improves for the first run after a break,

Winner at Leicester last May off a 10lb lower mark. Unplaced in all three AW starts and off the track since finishing last of 13 in September.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-1| J: S W Kelly| T: G & J Moore| OR:  79
5/2
Showing improved form for new yard including a C&D success in January. Handicapper has set him another stiff task and chances depend on getting the strong gallop needed. With no obvious pacemaker in the lineup that could be an issue.

Thaqaffa32
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: Miss A Murphy| OR:  78
6/1
Impressive winner at Beverley last summer for Marcus Tregoning and just 4lb higher in the weights here. Second over C&D in August and occupied same position on only previous AW start. May have needed the run last time and jockey booking takes the eye.

Forecasts

Gossiping (5/2), The Warrior (5/2), Thaqaffa (6/1), Alejandro (15/2), Presumido (8/1), Harlequin Striker (12/1), Jufn (16/1), Kestrel Dot Com (25/1)

Verdict

A few of these, notably Gossiping, Presumido and Alejandro require patient handling and a strong gallop. There is no obvious pace angle in this and as such THE WARRIOR is selected as he appears more tactically adaptable and appears to have improved following a gelding operation. Gossiping has to be feared should the race turn out to be run to suit. Thaqaffa has joined a good young trainer and his AW record suggests he could produce a big run at a rewarding price.
