Willow Water Handicap

Very disappointing here last time when she missed the break but has gone well at this course, winning two of her previous three starts here, one over C&D. Should come on for that run and good chance she can get back to winning ways here.

Winner of a three-runner race over 6f here but faces a tougher task here form a poor draw. The form of his latest win has not worked out and he's struggled in two subsequent runs. Has been known to miss the break on occasions, a trait he wouldn't want to display here but yard are in good form at least.

Lost his maiden tag at Tipperary in August having gone close at Naas the time before but struggled from her revised mark in two starts at the Curragh subsequently. Seems to go on any ground and interesting what the market makes of her on debut for new yard.

Won a Navan maiden for Dermot Weld last year and came on markedly for his reappearance at this course in May when winning at Ripon on Wednesday. Only won narrowly though and may struggle to back that up under a 6lb penalty.

One win from 12 starts and that came in a maiden at Chelmsford back in August but probably produced a career best effort last time at York in soft ground and obvious claims here from 1lb higher if she can build on that from a nice looking draw.

All his best efforts and each of his three wins have come on the AW, and he doesn't look like one of the better handicapped horses in the race. Not beaten far at Ripon last time, seemingly returning to form and connections have a fine record around here so not without his chance from an ideal draw for a front-runner.

Improved on handicap debut at Nottingham to win on good to firm ground and given time to recover from that effort but yard have been quiet recently and return to softer conditions not certain to be up his street; looks opposable.

Gained her first win for this yard two starts back at Beverley but couldn't follow up that effort in softer ground at York last time. May struggle again in what are likely to be similar conditions but on a fair mark at least.
