Akuna Mattatta²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Smith| OR: 45

Well held on all three outings so far. Gelded since his last appearance at Lingfield in February and a non-runner for his proposed handicap debut at Brighton recently.

Form: 759

Deliberator¹⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: W J Knight

1/1

Stepped up on his debut when finishing 5L third over 1m at Lingfield on the AW back in May. Making his first appearance since then and a repeat of that should see him go close.

Form: 3-3

(6)

Enigmatic⁴⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne

14/1

Fair effort when fourth of eight on debut over 6f here in June last year. Gelded since but probably best watched after over 15 months off the track.

Form: 4-

Nuncio³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 68

6/1

Placed four times from nine starts so far including on the AW at Lingfield in December last year. Currently rated 68 and whilst vulnerable to less exposed rivals he is one to note in this contest.

Form: 2-22534

Saradani Bay⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: Rae Guest

25/1

Signs of ability when making his debut over an extended 1m at Nottingham (heavy) last month. Interesting to see how he fares on his AW debut.

Form: 8

Swiss Vinnare

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Danny Brock| T: P S McEntee

50/1

Unraced gelded son of Arabian Gleam and a half-brother to a few winners at a modest level. Probably best watched on racecourse debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rosie Jessop⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Ellis

100/1

Held on both starts on turf so far including when fourth of seven at Lingfield (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Making her AW debut today.

Lady Of Steel¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler

33/1

Slowly away prior to finishing a well beaten 11th on debut over 1m at Kempton earlier this month. Others make more appeal.

Lewinsky³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer| OR: 73

3/1

Yet to build on her good second over 1m2f here when making her debut back in June. One for the shortlist for a stable who can boast a 20% strike-rate (13/65) at this venue.

Form: 244

Yogiyogiyogi¹⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: D J Coakley

6/1

Decent effort when fourth of nine over 1m at Lingfield in early May. Non-runner at Kempton subsequently and worth a check in the market today.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Deliberator (1/1), Lewinsky (3/1), Yogiyogiyogi (6/1), Nuncio (6/1), Enigmatic (14/1), Saradani Bay (25/1), Lady Of Steel (33/1), Swiss Vinnare (50/1), Lookintomyeyes (50/1), Akuna Mattatta (100/1), Danica Ashton (100/1)

DELIBERATOR can get off the mark at the third attempt by taking this 1m maiden contest. The selection ran well when third over this trip at Lingfield back in May and can register his first victory on his return from a break with Lewinsky, who has been running over further in the main taken to finish second in this contest. Nuncio has plenty of experience under his belt and can claim third today.
