Successful three times at around 1m when trained in France and running over shorter since joining this stable. Good effort in a first time hood (retained) when fourth at Kempton over 6f last time and one to note on his return to this trip.
Making just his second AW appearance when victorious over C&D last time out. Cheekpieces worn for the first time on that occasion are retained today and he is an interesting runner in this contest.
Placed in Group company on turf in the spring and has run well in handicap company the last twice. The most recent of those efforts came when third to Arcanada over C&D in November and he is likely to run well again today.
Out of form since winning over 7f at Goodwood (good-to-firm) in June last year. Would be much better off with a number of these were this a handicap and he looks likely to struggle today.
Victorious three times for Andrew Balding but unraced since running at Royal Ascot in June 2016. Has won on the AW in the past but probably best watched following a long absence.
Completed a treble when winning off a mark of 102 over C&D in march last year. Well held in handicap company since and interesting to see how he fares in this conditions event.
Forecasts
Arcanada (4/6), Straight Right (3/1), Gabrial (11/2), My Target (12/1), Man Of Harlech (33/1), In The Red (100/1)
ARCANADA can follow up November's C&D handicap win by taking this conditions event. The selection had today's rival Gabrial behind him on that occasion and he can confirm that form today with Straight Right, a multiple winner in France over this trip taken to finish third on his first outing over this trip since switching to his current yard.
