Violet's Lads¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 60

4/1

Filly has only had three starts on AW surfaces and looks capable of registering a win soon. Twice gone well over this C&D in recent months and, with another 2lb back, should be in the mix.

2/1

US-bred War Front gelding, showed some promise on sole AW outing over 5f in Southwell maiden in August, making good progress late on into second. One to note up in trip off the layoff.

7/1

Has gone close from 5lb higher mark in a Southwell handicap over this trip in August. In and out efforts since then, not always giving best in a finish. Visor added now and does have talent.

50/1

Unable to land any kind of blow in six AW starts for previous yard, then finished tailed off in pair of turf outings at Chepstow (5f) and Windsor (6f) after relocating. All to prove on return from a break.

Goodbye Lulu^h⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Charles Bishop| T: George Baker| OR: 60

6/1

An 80,000 gns yearling by Exceed and Excel, the filly didn't show a lot in three outings back in the autumn but she should be capable of doing much better in time, watch betting on return to action.

9/2

Archipenko gelding hasn't show a lot in three starts in novice company on the AW, all over this 7f trip, though could have something more to say for himself now sent handicapping with first-time blinkers added in a winnable contest.

Gunnar Julius¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 55

12/1

Lonhro colt cost connections €200,000 but well beaten in 7f (soft) Chepstow debut in September and no real progress in pair of sprints here and at Wolverhampton. Upped in distance for this handicap debut.

20/1

Better efforts to date have come on Tapeta at both Wolverhampton and Newcastle, but she is still yet to show enough to suggest she is capable of taking a race of this nature.

16/1

Royal Applause filly well beaten in pair of AW handicaps so far, latest by 5L in C&D nursery 13 days ago. Visor tried now but officially 5lb wrong on these terms and plenty work to do as such.

Fortune And Glory (2/1), Summer Thunder (3/1), Violet's Lads (4/1), Shyjack (9/2), Highly Approved (9/2), Goodbye Lulu (6/1), Forever Yours (6/1), Bo Selecta (7/1), Gunnar Julius (12/1), Still Got It (14/1), Royal Wave (16/1), Dragon Tattoo (20/1), Rockalater (50/1), Demi's Quest (50/1)

Violet's Lads has been threatening of late and is respected once more but it might prove worth taking a chance with handicap debutant FORTUNE AND GLORY this time. The War Front gelding stayed on late in the piece to be second over 5f at Southwell in a maiden when last spotted and if he's tuned up for this return to action, he can go well now upped in journey off what looks a workable mark. This looks wide open and it won't be any surprise should either Bo Selecta, Forever Yours or Highly Approved go well.
