Dream Ally¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: J R Weymes| OR: 61| CD

9/2

In good form last year, winning three times, and improved on his recent efforts when scoring on his Fibresand debut over this trip. Not so good last time, though, and needs to bounce back.

Form: 405716

Eponina²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: B Haslam| OR: 58

7/2

Without a win in 10 starts, seven of them on the AW. Ran well at Kempton last time, though, and may be able to take a hand in the finish if showing a little more improvement

Form: 4633-42

Captain Bob^p⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: P A Kirby| OR: 55| D

6/4

All four career wins have come on turf and he is 0-14 on the AW. Short of his best over C&D last month and it is difficult to see him making a serious impact off only 2lb lower.

Form: 043744

Coiste Bodhar^p⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 55| BF| CD

4/1

Plenty of winning form on this surface, including when landing a nine-runner contest in February. Placed on turf on his last two starts and is respected on this return to Fibresand.

Form: 267432

Seebring⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: B Ellison| OR: 54| D

7/1

Only sixth of eight at this track two starts ago, but better when fourth at Thirsk on latest outing. Stlll to prove he is effective on this surface, so others are more appealing.

Form: 3001-64

Forecasts

Da Capo Dandy (11/10), Captain Bob (6/4), Eponina (7/2), Coiste Bodhar (4/1), Dream Ally (9/2), Seebring (7/1)

It is hard to get away from the claims of DA CAPO DANDY, who has won on her last three starts over C&D and can cope with another rise in the weights. Coiste Bodhar may chase her home on his return to the AW, while Eponina is respected after a good effort at Kempton last time. Dream Ally can figure if returning to the form of two starts ago.
