Well held since winning over 1m3f at Kempton at the end of May. Handicap mark is slipping as a result and he now races off a mark 4lb lower than for that success.
Winner of three of his first four starts for this yard but a well beaten favourite at Kempton when last in action back in February. Usual visor is absent for today's return.
20 race maiden including in both cheekpieces and a visor. Return to 2m should suit but more needed if he's to break his maiden today.
Hurdles winner and placed twice on the AW at around 1m4f this time last year when trained by Mark Walford. Purchased for just £2,000 at the sales in June and stepping up in trip on his debut for this yard after over 11 months off.
Completed a double when victorious over 1m4f at Epsom (good-to-soft) in June last year. Heavy defeats since mean he's well handicapped on his best form but he's yet to place in seven AW starts.
Placed twice on the AW from eight starts but well held in an amateur riders contest on her return from a break last month. Worth a check in the market with a leading jockey in the saddle today.
Placed once from nine Flat starts. Victorious over hurdles in May but well held on the Flat the last twice and making his AW debut in this contest.
13 time winner including twice from 13 starts on the AW. Finished tailed off over C&D in September but well handicapped on his best form.
Returned to form when finishing third of 14 over this trip at Kempton last time out. Races off a 1lb lower mark today and interesting having placed on six of her 11 starts on the AW.
12 race maiden though put in one of her better efforts when fourth in a maiden over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle when debuting for this yard earlier this month. Stamina to prove upped in trip.
Flat winner and multiple winner over hurdles including at Plumpton (good) earlier this month. Has run well off slightly higher marks in the past and is one to note if handling this step up in trip.
Winner of a hurdle and a bumper so far. Ran well to finish 6L fourth over this trip at Kempton earlier this month and is an interesting runner off a 2lb lower mark with cheekpieces worn for the first time.
Forecasts
Ding Ding (5/1), Marshall Aid (11/2), Lake Shore Drive (6/1), Wintour Leap (6/1), Bumble Bay (8/1), Shan Dun Na Ngall (8/1), Meetings Man (10/1), Hatsaway (16/1), Victor's Bet (16/1), Canford Thompson (16/1), Color Force (20/1), Chestnut Storm (33/1)
DING DING can follow up her recent victory over hurdles by taking this competitive looking staying handicap. The selection is untried over this trip on the Flat but having won four times over obstacles since her most recent outing in this sphere there's a chance she's improved and can get the better of the Wintour Leap who boasts a decent place record on the AW while the returning Shan Dun Na Ngall can claim third on this occasion.
