Career best effort when debuting on this surface and wearing a tongue tie (retained) for the first time last time out. Beaten a neck on that occasion and one for the shortlist despite a 5lb rise in the weights.

Forecasts

Mojambo (6/4), Lucky Red (5/1), Smiling Eliza (13/2), Itschessnotchekers (7/1), Don't Do It (7/1), Paparazzi (12/1), Realtin Geal (16/1), Take Action (16/1), Brass Button (20/1), Taylor Velvet (20/1), Bonnington Lass (25/1), Dancing D Queen (25/1), Dowhatisay (25/1), Viva Italia (25/1), Jango Fett (25/1), Vocatio (40/1), Sarah Kate (50/1)

Verdict

MOJAMBO is taken to open his account at the second time of asking on the AW following a highly promising second here last time out. The selection has a fair draw today and can claim this at the chief expense of Smiling Eliza who has run well on all three starts in handicaps at this venue while top weight Lucky Red can finish third following on just his second start in handicap company.
  1. Mojambo
  2. Smiling Eliza
  3. Lucky Red
