9/2

Likes t force the issue and is a consistent individual that ought to be thereabouts. Won over C&D in July but is still 6lb above that winning mark, so needs to be absolutely at his best.

14/1

Five-time winner on the AW and has shown a liking for this course. Possible he's been freshened up by a short break since September and no surprise to see him make a bold bid this afternoon.

9/2

Responded kindly when first tried in blinkers, so interesting the headgear is back on again this time around. Sound claims if it helps to keep him focused and dig deeper than he has of late when racing without the application.

11/10

Lightly raced and deserved his success at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. Set to race from just 2lb higher, the 3-Y-O merits a second look, as he may be hard to resist if others falter when he winds up with his customary late challenge.

Penny Dreadful^b²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 70| D

10/1

Likes to force the issue but couldn't get involved at Chelmsford last time out. Better judged on the pick of his previous efforts but wins to runs ration (1-23) on the AW is a poor return and underlines his frailties when trying to make all.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁷⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 67| BF| D

7/1

Disappointing favourite at Wolverhampton last weekend and has a bit to prove after that effort. Still, she had previously been good enough to make the frame at a similar level, so no forlorn hope of bouncing back. Interesting if supported again.

This can go to ZIPEDEEDODAH, whose record on the AW is solid for a race of this nature and, given that he arrives here fresher than a few of the rest, he may have the extra spark required to see him home. Blazed is an obvious threat after winning last time out. He too has room to manoeuvre from his present rating and could be dangerous to leave out of the equation despite carrying more this time around. Mr Pocket goes well in blinkers and that application gives him a potential edge over Penny Dreadful and Paul Cole's charge get the nod as the best of the rest.
