Lightly raced four-year-old showed only glimpses of form in a light campaign in 2016 having been gelded back in November 2015. Returned to the track at Beverley earlier this month over 5f following an 11 month absence and will strip fitter tonight. Tailed off on his only previous run on the AW.

Has six wins to his name, his last win coming over 6f at Haydock back in August 2015. Has had just the three outings so far in 2017 and has only managed to beat a handful of opponents in the process. May find a few too good here.

9/1
Has been a great servant to his connections over the years and knows how to win races, securing a 10th career victory when scoring over course and distance at the end of March, making most of the running and staying on well. Could be hard to catch if adopting similar tactics.

25/1
Has been fairly consistent throughout his career and six of his seven victories have come on an artificial surface. Twice a winner over this course and distance, but has run a little below par in his last two races. Ran well here three times earlier this year and could run well at a decent price.

Has a wonderful record at Wolverhampton, winning five times over this course and distance, but is returning to the track after a lengthy absence. Has started at long odds in most of her last 11 outings and is sure to come on a lot for this return run.

Found himself back in the winners' enclosure over the minimum trip at Southwell earlier this month, driven out for a comfortable success. Faded in a 6f contest at Thirsk last time, he is having only his second ever race over 5f and will be looking to make it two from two.

Opened his account with a victory over 5f at Windsor last October, pushed out to win by just under a length having established a healthy lead at the 2f pole. This jockey steered him to another success over 5f at Lingfield last time and a repeat performance will take him close.

Very lightly raced and still a maiden. Best effort was when beaten just under a length in a 6f contest at Haydock back in September 2015 but has shown nothing special at long odds in his last two races. Hard to make out a case for him here on current form.

Has only had four races to date and is relatively unexposed. Has moved to his current yard from the Scott Dixon stable and has been gelded since his last run. Has the ability to win races and is one to consider in this opening contest.

Successful over this course and distance back in February, getting up in the shadows of the post having been denied a clear run, to edge out Cruise Tothelimit. Runner-up to Frangarry last time out, this filly will be a popular choice to record a second career win.

Forecasts

Absolutely Awesome (3/1), Dandilion (7/2), Mr Chuckles (7/2), Total Power (13/2), Frangarry (7/1), Cruise Tothelimit (9/1), Llewellyn (11/1), Bop It (12/1), The Perfect Show (12/1), Archie Stevens (25/1), Your Gifted (40/1)

Verdict

A wide open contest to start the meeting and Mr Chuckles will be suited by the drop back in trip having gone close over 6f at Brighton last time. Absolutely Awesome has plenty of scope for improvement and is lightly raced. Running for a new stable, he is certainly one to keep an eye on in the market. Frangarry and Cruise Tothelimit will attract plenty of support while Archie Stevens could go well at a decent price. The selection is DANDILION. A winner over track and trip earlier this year having met trouble in running, he can exact his revenge on Frangarry on better terms.
