Cable Car^p1²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J L Flint

100/1

Tailed off on first start for this yard at Ffos Las (1m4f, heavy) this month on return from 351 days off. Previously had finished second in 2m Worcester bumper. Hard to fancy on AW bow.

Crystal Sunstone²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

40/1

Once-raced Henrythenavigator gelding, was well held on debut at Kempton over a mile this month and has plenty improvement to find now.

Form: 9

Fintech^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Mrs I G-Leveque

40/1

Dark Angel gelding, cost 32,000 as a gns foal and will be wearing a tongue strap on debut. Trainer has a 22% strike rate on the AW over the preceding 12 months, worth a check in the betting.

In Dreams^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: B J Meehan

33/1

Didn't have the best of experiences on debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, heavy) this month when beaten 33L having got loose beforehand. Should be capable of better in time.

Mesbaar⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| BF

9/4

Favourite on debut for mile maiden at Leicester (good to soft) in June, finished in midfield beaten over 5L. Could improve on that now if taking to AW.

Form: 5

Military Parade²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S bin Suroor

8/13

280,000 gns purchase boasting a sprint pedigree being by Dutch Art out of a dam who won over 6f. Clear second on debut behind odds on jolly over 1m2f at Chelmsford. Can progress and have a say here.

Form: 2

(7)

Power Surge

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R M Beckett

12/1

A €50,000 yearling out of Power, related to numerous winners and has to be of some interest on debut here for in-form Beckett team.

Shanghai Shane

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr

150/1

Shanakill gelding was an inexpensive purchase for connections and trainer has only landed one previous AW winner (from 74 runs). Best watched for now.

Perfect Spy²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: L M Cumani

8/1

Nicely-bred filly, has shown some promise in two outings, trainer going well but might well prove one for handicaps in time.

Form: 33

Waiting A Lot⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara

50/1

Hasn't beat a rival home in two runs on turf so far, including at Hamilton last time when tackling this sort of trip. No reason to recommend here.

Forecasts

Military Parade (8/13), Hyperloop (6/4), Mesbaar (9/4), Perfect Spy (8/1), Power Surge (12/1), In Dreams (33/1), Fintech (40/1), Crystal Sunstone (40/1), Waiting A Lot (50/1), Cable Car (100/1), Shanghai Shane (150/1)

William Haggas tends to do well at this venue, with a 30% strike rate over the previous 12 months, his yard are also in good form and so HYPERLOOP looks the one to side with in this. He's progressed in each run so far and was just denied last time at Chelmsford and appears to have the scope for this longer trip under his excellent rider. Military Parade cost plenty and showed up well on debut at Chelmsford when clear in second over this sort of distance. With progress likely, the Godolphin charge looks to be the chief threat. Newcomers Power Surge and Fintech along with Mesbaar are worth looking out for.
