Successful over C&D on second start for this yard in March and has run well in defeat in three subsequent outings. Remains of interest.

Struggled since finishing runner-up over this trip at Brighton (good-to-firm) in August and probably best watched on this occasion.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 72| D

33/1

Redcar maiden winner on good-to-soft ground in October 2016. Well held on both starts for this yard and others have stronger claims.

Buskin River^b1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S J Cummins⁽⁵⁾| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 62| D

25/1

Broke his maiden over 1m at Brighton (good-to-soft) last September. Disappointing since however and wears blinkers on just his second AW start.

Form: 710-656

Muthraab Aldaar^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 57

22/1

Ran well to finish runner-up in an amateur riders contest at Lingfield (1m2f) earlier this month. Worth a check in the market off a 2lb lower mark.

Form: 6-33302

Forecasts

Kingston Kurrajong (6/5), Mach One (9/2), Eltezam (5/1), Casina Di Notte (10/1), Pike Corner Cross (12/1), Ravenhoe (14/1), Muthraab Aldaar (22/1), Buskin River (25/1), Pendo (33/1), Baashiq (33/1)

MUTHRAAB ALDAAR receives weight from all of his rivals in this and he can register a third AW win by taking the opening race on the card. The selection should appreciate the return to this trip and he can get the better of top weight Kingston Kurrajong who ran well in defeat when sixth here last time. Casina Di Notte has run well fresh in the past and can claim third on this occasion.
