Connemera Queen¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Winston| T: J Butler| OR: 65| D

22/1

Fairly lightly raced overall, and her only AW experience so far was on Tapeta at Newcastle. Runner up from this mark at Redcar in June (1m) and possibly sharper for her recent stable debut.

Form: 890-266

Mezmaar²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: M D I Usher| OR: 65| CD

6/1

A dual C&D winner from marks higher than tonight's and on the premises in a couple of recent starts at this track. His latest C&D fourth to Daring Guest last month has been well advertised (with third placed Easy Code a winner since).

Form: 949034

Fire Diamond^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 63| CD

10/1

Won four races on the bounce on the AW over the winter (including over C&D), but has seemingly regressed, and the first time visor didn't revitalise at Newcastle latest. Easing further in the weights.

Form: 567000

Ubla²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 63| C

5/1

Yet to taste success over this trip, with both career victories coming over 1m, but posted a reasonable effort when runner up to Siege Of Boston over C&D latest. Each way possibilities, but work to do with Mezmaar on penultimate start.

Form: 873672

Inlawed³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: E Walker| OR: 65| C

6/1

Struck at the first attempt on Polytrack when winning by 1L over 6f here in late August (beat See You Mush). Up 3lb, and that doesn't appear overly harsh, so fair claims if staying this extra furlong.

Form: 300661

(2)

Awesome Allan¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: P D Evans| OR: 65

33/1

Both career successes came over the minimum trip as a juvenile, and he's been out of sorts for the bulk of this campaign. Not fully exposed on the AW after just one start on Tapeta, but plenty of questions to be answered.

Form: 755760

(4)

Tuscany²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole| OR: 65

16/1

35,000 gns yearling who didn't show all that much in maidens, and was stepped up in trip to 1m4f for his handicap debut here last month (no promise). A guessing game with regards his ability in handicaps over this trip.

Form: 4-500

(11)

Miss Icon³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 65| D

25/1

A reasonably consistent filly, but one who has been eased 8lb since going handicapping. She has struggled to get her head in front since winning at Lingfield in August 2016, and was beaten 6L by Black Caesar at Brighton last month (7f good).

Form: 396352

(3)

Seyasah¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: C F Wall| OR: 65

20/1

A nine race maiden who has raced mainly over 6f thus far. She has plenty of placed efforts to her name but posted a lacklustre effort on soft ground at Yarmouth latest. Promising on her sole visit to this track (September 2016).

Form: 8-82228

(12)

Corporal Maddox^p,h³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: R Harris| OR: 62| D

25/1

A grand servant down the years, and has won 13 races from 116 career starts. Versatile on both turf and the AW, but up 4lb for his latest success at Chepstow in August (7f good).

Form: 705281

Waqt¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 64

16/1

A five race maiden who started off fairly well earlier in the year, but was ultimately no match for Paradwys when runner up at Ffos Las in mid July (6f good). Not so great since, but worth a go on the AW for handicap debut.

Form: 2-2885

(7)

Treacherous⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 57| C

7/4

Left his form in maidens behind when a ready 2L winner on 6f handicap debut last week (beat Atlanta Belle). Reappears quickly under a penalty, but with an obvious chance if staying this extra furlong.

Form: 0871

(6)

Mossy's Lodge¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Tate| T: A Carson| OR: 60

33/1

An infrequent winner, and generally sharpest at Chelmsford (three time runner up in Essex). Not shown an awful lot in three starts during 2017, but eased in the weights and that might help eventually.

Form: 220-907

Forecasts

Treacherous (7/4), Ubla (5/1), Inlawed (6/1), Mezmaar (6/1), Fire Diamond (10/1), Light From Mars (14/1), Tuscany (16/1), Waqt (16/1), Seyasah (20/1), Connemera Queen (22/1), Miss Icon (25/1), Corporal Maddox (25/1), Mossy's Lodge (33/1), Awesome Allan (33/1)

Both Treacherous and Inlawed were winners over 6f here on their most recent starts, and whilst the former is perhaps the least exposed of the pair, both hold relatively similar claims with this extra furlong an unknown factor. Corporal Maddox has proved a grand servant to connections over the years, and he was in the winners enclosure at Chepstow in August, but a 4lb rise and a high draw will make life more difficult switched back to the AW. Therefore, in a fairly low key opener, it is the eight-year-old MEZMAAR who gets the vote. He is fully proven over C&D, and his most recent effort has been well advertised by Easy Code, who was a fairly impressive winner at Lingfield last week.
