7/2
Winner of a 6f novice event at Salisbury on his second start in June 2016 (good), he was highly tried (including in Listed company) to no avail thereafter. Gelded over the winter, with his sights set far lower on his seasonal reappearance.

14/1
Narrow winner of a 7f maiden fillies stakes at Kempton in August 2016, she largely performed with consistency for the remainder of the campaign, including when 1L third to Glitter Girl on her nursery debut (from this mark) at Doncaster in September 2016. Hopefully stronger for last month's seasonal reappearance and respected.

8/1
A dual winner in nine starts, which included a 6f novice auction stakes at this track in June 2016. Beaten readily by Cheval Blanche (won since) at Lingfield in March (1m) but could be suited by dropping back in trip.

8/1
A two time AW winner who was well beaten earlier in his career on his sole visit to this track (last of three in May 2016). Beaten just a neck over this sort of trip at Kempton in February, but his form has tailed off a fraction since.

4/1
Showed minor promise on both starts as a juvenile (green), therefore a shade disappointing when only sixth of ten to Zamfir on his return to action at Leicester last month (1m good to soft). Shorter trip can possibly bring about an improvement.

12/1
Not won since June 2016 (5f Windsor) despite a further seven starts. Hasn't seemed ideally suited to the AW in 2017, so needs this switch back to turf and the application of cheek-pieces to rekindle his best form in order to be involved.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR:  71
6/1
330,000 gns yearling who has basically proved a disappointment. Failed to show the anticipated improvement on handicap debut (gelded) at Lingfield last month when only fourth of six to Angel of Darkness. Hood retained, but really needs to be showing considerable improvement at this lowly level.

10/1
¾L Lingfield (turf) winner in August 2016 who signed off by finishing fifth to Sans Souci Boy at Chelmsford in October. Dropped 2lb for seasonal bow, and ideally suited by a sound surface. Not discounted.

Remains a maiden despite six starts as a juvenile (placed on a couple of occasions). Dropped 2lb to a career low mark of 65, but others preferred.

12 race maiden, but regularly placed on the AW over the past couple of months. Always just held by See You Mush at Chelmsford early last month (6f, Class 6) others would appear likelier winners tonight.

Forecasts

Farleigh Mac (7/2), Teqany (4/1), Tawaafoq (6/1), No Not Again (7/1), Spirit Of Sarwan (8/1), Jumping Jack (8/1), Miss Icon (10/1), El Torito (12/1), Fire Palace (14/1), Twiggy (20/1), Pulsating (20/1)

Verdict

Both Teqany and Tawaafoq ought to be far better than they've shown on the track to date, and a poor showing from either horse at this lowly level would spell frustrating times for their respective connections. Those horses towards the top end of the weights are likely to play a leading hand here with Spirit of Sarawan beaten by a subsequent winner on his latest outing, and Fire Palace showing last term that she can be most competitive from this mark. However, FARLEIGH MAC faced some tough 'gigs' after winning at Salisbury in June 2016, and he will relish the drop in grade here for his seasonal reappearance, and could prove the answer in an open race.
  1. Farleigh Mac
  2. Fire Palace
  3. Tawaafoq
