13/2

Winner of a Brighton handicap off a mark of 70 in August his three AW runs since have come nowhere near that sort of form. Has failed to beat anything home in his last two start on a synthetic surface and it may well be that he's better on turf.

15/8

Still a maiden after nine races and solid form is very hard to find on her CV. Well below form when last seen over 5f at Wolverhampton and even her third here on a prior run was poor form and this looks a stiff ask from a tough mark.

Sir Hector¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 62

7/1

Dropped to 5f last time out when making his Fibresand debut and appeared to cope well with that unique surface. That form is only modest though and he looks as though he could do with a return to 6f although going handicapping may see him in a better light.

Form: 785-3

Inuk^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 58| C

15/8

Looks a home around here recording form figures of 431 and produced her best effort when winning a C&D seller on her penultimate start. She looks a speedy sort so may not have been as well suited by 6f last time as she reverted to handicaps but still ran with credit and should be competitive here of this mark.

Form: 44131-3

Hornby³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55

10/1

Back from a long break and his first two efforts (finished last both times) he's not really shown anything for being gelded in that break in two starts over C&D. Now makes his handicap debut but hard to make a case for him based on the limited evidence so far.

Form: 0056-

Mrs Hitchcock⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Ryan Powell| T: Miss K Brown| OR: 45

16/1

Four starts on the AW at Dundalk including when tilting at windmills in a Listed event have produced very little return. Now drops back to 5f (tried over 6f last time) but has little to recommend her so far.

Hard to construct too many solid cases here and this may be best left to INUK who has shown her best form around here and this speedy sort may appreciate the return to 5f. Sir Hector looks as though he could do with a return to 6f but in this low grade event he may well be able to make his mark if he copes as well with this surface as he did the Fibresand last time. Avon Green has some poor form here and her overall record of 0/9 tempers enthusiasm but she could have a place chance while Haveoneyerself has looked limited on the AW so far but is 4lb below his last winning mark.
