7/2

Maintained an unbeaten 2/2 record on the AW when successful over 7f at Wolverhampton last month. Has been raised 7lb by the handicapper for that victory and is an interesting runner despite a wide draw here.

Nostalgie³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: M Harley| T: J Tate| OR: 81

6/1

Victorious over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton on her debut for this yard back in May and ran well when runner-up to Phalaborwa at Wolverhampton over 7f last time out. Likely to run well again here.

Form: 56-1732

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 80

4/1

Broke her maiden at the second time of asking over 6f at Chelmsford last October but disappointing in two starts since including on her seasonal debut over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. Wears cheekpieces for the first time today.

Cliffhanger³⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: J F Egan| T: P & O Cole| OR: 68| D

66/1

Disappointing in three subsequent starts since winning over 7f at Lingfield (good) in June last year and probably best watched on her return from over a year off the track.

Dragon Dream²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁷⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 64| CD

20/1

Successful in a Class 6 handicap over C&D in June and put in a couple of decent efforts in defeat on turf at Sandown since. Stepping up in class today and others make more appeal in this.

Forecasts

Phalaborwa (7/2), Dubai Elegance (4/1), Parlance (9/2), Nostalgie (6/1), Peak Princess (8/1), Nightingale Valley (12/1), Simply Me (16/1), Chupalla (16/1), Dragon Dream (20/1), Cliffhanger (66/1)

PHALABORWA is defending an unbeaten record on the AW having won over this trip at Wolverhampton last time out. The selection made all when breaking her maiden here last September and raced prominently when winning last time out. A 7lb rise for that victory doesn't look overly harsh and she can confirm form with Nostalgie who finished runner-up at Wolverhampton. Top weight Simply Me is another to boast a good strike-rate on the AW having won five of her nine starts and she can follow up her latest success by finishing third in this.
