Moderate efforts back over hurdles last twice. Handicap mark falling on the Flat but recent form leaves doubts whether he will be taking advantage any time soon.

Six-time AW winner landed a double back in the spring but struggled since. 6¾L sixth over C&D latest and with no ease from the handicapper today, he will struggle to do much better.

Near identical efforts last twice since switched to this yard, finishing 3¼L fourth of 12 on each occasion over 1f further. 2lb lower here and with this trip maybe ideal she is a contender today.

100/1 and last of five latest in a claimer on her first start in five months. Only 1lb higher than last winning mark so now back in a handicap she should do better with fitness likely boosted.

C&D second in June off 5lb higher reads well here but below that level since so bit more needed now.

9/1
Unsuccessful on AW in 17 previous attempts although run some decent races. Latest fourth a fair effort at Chelmsford but off the same mark more is needed. Back in trip today having mostly raced over 1m2f.

Won last time out at Kempton over 1m under today's rider. Only been upped 2lb for that so been given a real chance of following up and looks one of the main contenders.

Well behind Cookie Ring at Kempton latest when 10th of 13. 4lb pull not enough to envisage reversal with that rival. Wears firs-time cheekpieces.

Maiden of 29 races now and recent form particularly uninspiring. Very hard to fancy especially from out of the handicap.

Of very limited ability and only beaten four rivals in as many starts lately. Hard to envisage this switch to AW making a difference.

Showed bits of form which would be of interest here for Ed Dunlop but is 2lb out of the handicap today and has been last on both starts for this yard.

Well beaten in three starts to date so despite lowly mark she wouldn't be of great interest at present.

Forecasts

Sunshineandbubbles (11/4), Sir Jamie (9/2), Pensax Lady (11/2), Cookie Ring (13/2), Sheer Intensity (9/1), Chookie Valentine (11/1), Living Leader (16/1), Peak Storm (20/1), Boketto (25/1), Alligator (33/1), Secret Lightning (40/1), Sunset Bounty (50/1), Machiavelian Storm (150/1)

Verdict

It may pay to side with SUNSHINEANDBUBBLES here with this trip looking likely to be ideal. She has run well the last twice and with an ease from the handicapper she can win this. Main danger is probably Cookie Ring who hasn't been harshly punished for his win last time out. Boketto looked like she could be on a good mark last time on return but this race comes very quickly after it.
