Kafoo^t,v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| D

10/1

Had yet to fire for this yard but last time (fourth start for trainer) over C&D was much more like it. Still needs to build on that and find more off the same mark.

Form: 879064

Joys Delight²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 60

20/1

Yet to get off the mark in nine attempts so far, despite running some fair races including over C&D. Clearly difficult to win with (beaten at a short price two starts ago) and isn't one to rely on.

Form: 204420

(4)

The Special One^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 59| D

8/1

Progressive filly who has won three of her last five starts, but was well-beaten off her new mark at Brighton last time out and needs to prove she can operate under a bigger weight.

Form: 611614

(11)

Chough²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: H Morrison| OR: 60| BF| D

11/4

Beaten at odds-on last time out but dropped back in trip to her only previous winning distance and should be able to run another big race on a track which should suit her well.

Form: 622713

(12)

Arcane Dancer^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 58| D

20/1

In fairly good form earlier in the year but has lost her way recently and looks an unappealing prospect even off a quickly decreasing handicap mark and with a wide draw to contend with here.

Form: 187808

(3)

Soaring Spirits¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: D K Ivory| OR: 58| D

7/1

Possibly slightly better over shorter but has won over this trip in the past and needs considering following a good performance to finish third at Brighton last month under today's jockey.

Form: 386603

(9)

Isntshesomething^v¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: R C Guest| OR: 58| D

13/2

In-form contender who hasn't been out of the first two in her last three starts, all over this trip on the AW including over C&D last time out. Remains on the same mark now and another bold bid is anticipated.

Form: 706212

(10)

Grey Destiny¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 57| CD

5/1

Specialist over this trip who is almost back down to his most recent winning mark and ran a fine race over C&D to be only narrowly denied 11 days ago.

Form: 657392

(2)

Major Assault¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Fahy| T: Mat Salaman| OR: 57

25/1

Started his career last year with some nice performances but form has dropped off since and he's easy to discount against a field where most arrive in much better form.

Form: 839-808

(5)

Swot^v1²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 57| D

10/1

Not the most encouraging strike-rate overall but usually runs a good race in defeat and could find some further improvement with the aid of a first-time visor.

Form: 24-4543

(8)

Al's Memory¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: P D Evans| OR: 57| CD

12/1

Not beaten far over C&D last time out but hasn't won over this trip since January 2015 despite several attempts, and he remains with plenty to prove.

Form: 195-483

(7)

Nicky Baby^b,h1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 57

20/1

0/9 so far and though he shaped with some encouragement over C&D earlier in the year his form on the turf since has been mostly uninspiring, and he is best watched here.

Form: 645040

Forecasts

Chough (11/4), Grey Destiny (5/1), Isntshesomething (13/2), Soaring Spirits (7/1), The Special One (8/1), Kafoo (10/1), Swot (10/1), Al's Memory (12/1), Joys Delight (20/1), Arcane Dancer (20/1), Nicky Baby (20/1), Major Assault (25/1)

CHOUGH was slightly disappointing last time out when beaten at odds-on, but still managed to run well and with this drop in trip a positive, she is taken to make amends for Hughie Morrison and get her head back in front at a track that suits her well. A few of these are in with good chances though, including the in-form Isntshesomething and Soaring Spirits, who ran well at a price at Brighton last time.
