Union Rose^p,h⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: L Morris| T: R Harris| OR: 81| D

7/2

Narrow winner over this trip at Wolverhampton last time out. Carries a 6lb penalty for that win but a change of headgear there appears to have helped him turn a corner and he needs considering.

Form: 745701

Monumental Man^p⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 80| CD

6/1

Five time winner over this trip on Polytrack, and form of recent races looks okay but he still needs to improve on finishing sixth over C&D last time out.

Form: 382256

You're Cool⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Doyle| T: J Balding| OR: 79| CD

5/2

Hat-trick seeker who has won over C&D the last twice. Up a further 4lb but has been improving recently and holds obvious claims based on his excellent form here.

Form: 362411

(4)

Rosina^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 78| D

12/1

A winner at Ayr in August but that looks to have been a weaker race than this and is yet to win on an AW surface.

Form: 901088

Juan Horsepower^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 75| D

8/1

Attempt back up at 7f last time didn't work out so back down in trip here, but looks held on most of his recent form even over sprint distances.

Form: 988648

(2)

Mr Pocket^b¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole| OR: 70

7/2

Not disgraced in AW sprints the last twice, but still looks below the level of form achieved on both of his career victories to date.

Form: 264966

(5)

Penny Dreadful^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 69| C| D

11/1

Not always at her best since her most recent win earlier in the year, but now is almost back down to that last winning mark and a C&D fourth last time wasn't totally without merit.

Form: 034404

Forecasts

You're Cool (5/2), Mr Pocket (7/2), Union Rose (7/2), Monumental Man (6/1), Juan Horsepower (8/1), Penny Dreadful (11/1), Rosina (12/1)

YOU'RE COOL may have been raised another 4lb for winning over C&D (again) last time, but he has been showing plenty of improvement recently and it would be no surprise to see him progress again to overcome that rise in the weights in a race where many of the contenders have something to prove. However Penny Dreadful ran fairly well here last time and is starting to look on a suitable mark, while Union Rose isn't ruled out of defying a 6lb penalty for winning at Wolverhampton recently.
