Giovanni Medici²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: S Durack| OR: 65

10/1

Change of tactics and/or firmer ground may have been factors in a below par effort a month ago. Not harshly treated on earlier form but draw is far from ideal.

Form: 8537

Rustang^h²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fortune| T: R Hughes| OR: 65

8/1

Fair handicap debut at Windsor last time. Interesting to see him dropped down in trip as he seemed to improve for the mile latest. May lack the speed to take on some of these over 7f.

Form: 5804

That's My Girl²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 64

16/1

Form of her Newbury victory has been devalued since. Although her mark has dropped following two poor efforts, she may need yet more help and the draw also adds to her problems.

Form: 505155

Courteous Crown²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 63

33/1

Showed first signs of ability last time and arrives here with yard going well. Probably needs to find more from this mark and sire has a modest record for producing AW winners.

Form: 777

Letsbe Avenue⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Hannon| OR: 63

6/1

Has shown little in three runs and makes handicap debut on a mark which gives him scope to improve significantly. Dropped in class and trainer in form.

Form: 676

Tony Soprano^b1¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR: 62| BF

3/1

Well supported when third in heavy ground at Chepstow. Raced too keenly for the conditions and blinkers are now tried for the first time. Rider 3-6 when riding for the stable.

Gold Eagle³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P J McBride| OR: 61

14/1

Would have solid claims on her turf form but AW debut here a month ago was the worst effort of her career.

Form: 7049

Prezzie⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 59

16/1

Has failed to show much of the speed indicated in her pedigree and she steps up in trip for her nursery debut. Yard 1-26 here with juveniles.

Form: 496

Hastenplace^p¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: B R Millman| OR: 59

25/1

Yet to make the frame in six starts and last of five most recently. A tough draw makes his chances look even more remote.

Form: 786475

Silver Bullet^v²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 58

6/1

Has shaped better than her final position suggests on her last two starts. Style of running leaves her a hostage to fortune but the extra furlong should be a help.

Form: 59648

(5)

Roman Spinner^t²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: Rae Guest| OR: 57| C

4/1

Has been tried over a variety of trips and came good here over 6f three weeks ago. A 6lb rise leaves her vulnerable to an improver amongst the handicap debutants, however the trainer/jockey combination are a better than expected 10-56.

Form: 84561

(8)

Alaskan Star^p¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S J Drowne| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 56

33/1

Yet to make the frame and only beat one home at Chepstow two weeks ago. Up in trip but mark probably has further to fall.

Form: 67770

Mimram^t1⁸⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 53

25/1

Well held in all three outings so far. Latest of those came over C&D in July and she makes her handicap debut in this contest. Drops in grade and tries a tongue-tie.

Forecasts

Tony Soprano (3/1), Roman Spinner (4/1), Letsbe Avenue (6/1), Silver Bullet (6/1), Rustang (8/1), Giovanni Medici (10/1), Gold Eagle (14/1), That's My Girl (16/1), Prezzie (16/1), Surrey Blaze (16/1), Mimram (25/1), Hastenplace (25/1), Courteous Crown (33/1), Alaskan Star (33/1)

Richard Hannon saddles three for this and with the yard in form his team have to be respected. The market is not necessarily going to be a guide and all three have tricky draws. Roman Spinner won here over 6f but she did not show enough improvement to suggest the 6lb rise in the weights is justified. Tony Soprano was well supported last time on heavy ground and failed to last home having raced too freely early on. Blinkers are now tried and he looks sure to go close but we prefer SILVER BULLET. Tom Dascombe's charge has been unlucky in running lately but a good draw here and some leniency from the handicapper make her an interesting proposition.
