Chilli Jam^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 56

15/8

Raised 3lb for his first career success at Chelmsford last month (1m2f good), but that is effectively removed by his riders 3lb claim. Has stamina to prove over this longer trip, but encouragingly his dam (Wosaita) was placed over 1m4f.

Form: 560-431

Desktop¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 54

40/1

A two time winner, including on Tapeta at Wolverhampton in March 2016 who just failed by a short-head to catch Woofie at Chelmsford (2m) in July. Moderate since, but drops back in trip.

Form: 0-82387

Rock Island Line^p⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 60

22/1

Slow developing sort, but did better with headgear applied when just over 3L fourth of 13 to Diamond Runner at Redcar last month (1m2f good to soft). Up in trip for AW debut.

Form: 68064

Padleyourowncanoe^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59

4/1

Not a frequent winner, but has proved himself a versatile performer and was beaten just a neck over C&D by Sir Runs A Lot earlier this month. Remains on the same mark so another decent showing expected.

Form: 5325U2

Allfredandnobell¹⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 51

80/1

Won a 2m Wetherby maiden hurdle (good to soft) in January, but remains a 12 race maiden on the Flat. Off since April 2017, and this appears a race with the new jumps season ahead firmly in mind.

British Art^v1³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: R K Watson| OR: 51

15/2

18 race maiden (once with Paul Cole) who has cut little ice back on the Flat in Ireland since a spell over hurdles. Wears a first time visor.

Form: 0/400-00

(14)

Chauvelin^b,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: N Tinkler| OR: 51| D

12/1

Not won since July 2016 (1m4f good to firm at Beverley), but has been competing respectively from slightly higher marks on turf this summer. Stable flying (double here on Tuesday) and switches back to the AW for the first time for this trainer.

Form: 963275

Molten Lava⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J Quinn| T: P A Kirby| OR: 51| BF

20/1

Both career success have come on turf, and his AW mark is 14lb lower than his mark on grass. Stamina must be a major concern over this trip, with his last seven starts coming over no further than an extended mile.

Form: 5-70906

(13)

Pennerley²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: F Norton| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 49

80/1

Stablemate of Allfredandnobell. A 13 race maiden who can only be described as a disappointment since joining this trainer from James Eustace. Lacks much AW experience, but Tapeta might bring her forward as a seemingly last resort.

Form: 5-66866

Angel In The Snow⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 48

4/1

Has had 13 attempts at breaking the duck, but thereabouts over C&D on a couple of occasions this time last year. Beaten just a neck by Canny Style at Catterick (1m4f soft) on her penultimate start, and excuse his latest defeat (2m).

Form: 834-625

Adrakhan²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Sammy Jo Bell⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 48

28/1

A winner at Musselburgh last month (2m good to firm), but remains on the same mark having 'outbattled' the enigma Tectonic. Found wanting on all previous starts at this track (mainly 2m) and other preferred.

Form: 531641

(7)

Flying Power^p⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: P Aspell| T: J R Norton| OR: 46| D

20/1

An eight time career winner (four on the AW), but has forgotten how to get his head in front these days; barren since 2014. His handicap mark has plummeted from the mid 70's, and whilst better latest is opposed on balance of probability.

Form: 0-44583

Forecasts

Chilli Jam (15/8), Padleyourowncanoe (4/1), Angel In The Snow (4/1), Ivors Involvement (6/1), British Art (15/2), Chauvelin (12/1), Flying Power (20/1), Molten Lava (20/1), Rock Island Line (22/1), Mr Davies (25/1), Adrakhan (28/1), Desktop (40/1), Pennerley (80/1), Allfredandnobell (80/1)

CHILLI JAM is effectively unpenalised for his success at Chelmsford last month (with David Egan's 3lb claim) and whilst the merit of that success is yet to be really tested he appears worth chancing over an extra two furlongs in a very winnable contest. Padleyourowncanoe went down in a three way battle to Sir Runs A Lot over C&D a fortnight ago so rates as the most obvious danger returning on the same handicap mark tonight (59). Of the remainder, Angel In The Snow looks set to have a role to play despite being a 13 race maiden.
