Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 69| D

40/1

Just the two runs since joining this yard, narrow success over 6f at Doncaster in April and surely too bad to be true 22 days ago on return at Newcastle on the AW. Needs to leave that effort well behind however.

Form: 2753-10

Whitecrest¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: J L Spearing| OR: 68| CD

20/1

C&D winner and now a veteran of 118 races, won here off mark of 61 over just shy of this trip in May and can be competitive again.

Form: 524256

Kodicat⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69| BF

9/2

Sole success came over the minimum distance at Catterick (good to firm) back in April. Solid in three most recent turf outings and chances here if able to transfer that form to AW.

Beau Mistral¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| CD

50/1

12lb higher than when winning over C&D in January, has run well enough on occasion since to suggest she'll be competitive though may find one or two better equipped.

Form: 262186

Look Surprised³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 66

33/1

Beat a modest bunch when landing a maiden at long odds over 5f at Windsor in August, well held both handicaps since and upped to 6f needing to improve.

Form: 7146

Magic Moments²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: A King| OR: 66| BF| CD

7/2

C&D winner on penultimate start and close up in four last month in follow-up attempt off this rating. Entitled to go close.

Form: 515514

Mysterious Glance⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 66

100/1

Winner of a 5f good-ground handicap at Nottingham on final start of 2016, before moving to this handler. Very tentative in both runs since re-emerging in July and easiest to look elsewhere for now.

Form: 83/31-80

(6)

Four Dragons^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 67| C

9/1

Off the boil in her three starts this term, all leaving a lot to be desired and certainly nowhere near the level of her winning form last summer/autumn. Handicapper relenting a bit but was beaten over 7L this C&D last month.

Form: 151-089

(5)

Love Oasis¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 66| D

7/1

Scored twice on turf earlier this summer (both over 6f on good ground) but has been in grip of handicapper since. Switches to AW on much more favourable terms (5lb below previous winning mark) and could be one to reckon with.

Form: 267506

Roys Dream³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Collins| OR: 66| D

11/1

Filly has generally been consistent on turf over the summer without winning a race and, now back on AW, suspicions lingers that she'll meet a similar fate.

Form: 532045

(8)

Kachess⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane| OR: 66

16/1

Has left Tom Dascombe after string of frustrating efforts on turf/AW earlier this season, up in trip but change of scenery needs to have sparked her into life.

Form: 375587

Robbie Roo Roo^t,v¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 64| CD

9/4

Former C&D winner with excellent 3-7 record on AW surfaces, narrow winner over this trip at Kempton last month before poor show recently over 7f on soft at Salisbury. Can be competitive back here despite higher rating.

Forecasts

Robbie Roo Roo (9/4), Magic Moments (7/2), Kodicat (9/2), Love Oasis (7/1), Powerful Dream (8/1), Four Dragons (9/1), Roys Dream (11/1), Kachess (16/1), Whitecrest (20/1), Look Surprised (33/1), Shesthedream (40/1), Beau Mistral (50/1), Mysterious Glance (100/1)

Robbie Roo Roo has developed a consistent profile on artificial surfaces and is expected to leave a recent disappointment at Salisbury on soft ground firmly behind by running well, while another former C&D winner Magic Moments should be right there when it matters most having not enjoyed much luck in attempting to complete a double here last month. Powerful Dream is given a chance on today's terms after a short break while Kodicat too could go well if transferring turf form across. Likewise, LOVE OASIS must prove she can do it on this surface but, now rated 5lb below her previous turf winning mark, Mark Johnston's likeable filly has fair claims on what will be just her third run on an artificial surface.
