Master Singer^b²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 96| D

5/1

Previous AW winner over this trip, though that was on the Tapeta. This mark leaves him with a bit of improvement to find.

Form: 9155-73

Noble Gift²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 93| CD

25/1

Has lost his form over his last couple of starts, but has a good record here and dropping back down to this trip may also help.

Form: 43-2469

Master Carpenter³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: B R Millman| OR: 91| D

14/1

Slight step back in the right direction at York last time out (in a tougher race), down another 2lb. Interesting to see how he fares on this AW debut.

Form: 7440-04

Rainbow Rebel¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 89| D

12/1

Both wins this year came over further than this off lower marks, so though he brings some better recent form than many of his rivals he still makes only limited appeal.

Form: 251734

Nathan²⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: A King| OR: 89| BF| D

9/4

Seasonal/AW debut but good form over this trip last year and if ready to go here he looks set for a big run.

Form: 382113-

Al Destoor^t⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Candlish| OR: 87| D

25/1

Ran better than the form figure suggests at Chester last time out, but has a bit to prove on the AW with all his best form on turf.

Form: 23620-7

Alfarris^p²⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Dane O'Neill| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87| C| D

7/2

Yet to run a poor race since starting off in handicaps, and looks capable of defying this mark based on his performance at Kempton back in September. First run since now.

Star of Rory²⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 87

50/1

Seasonal/stable debut, lost his form towards the end of last season and therefore tough to build a case for on first run since October.

Form: 403280-

Top Mission^p²¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 87| BF| C

4/1

Finished a good second on handicap debut at Lingfield last time out, up 3lb but every chance that this step up in trip can help him find further improvement.

Form: 2/2312-

(2)

Tangramm^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: J F Egan| T: D K Ivory| OR: 81| CD

14/1

C&D winner at his best and won just three starts ago, but much less impressive the last twice. Others appeal much more.

Form: 1-26187

(10)

Lost At Sea^b1⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Liam Jones| T: J Farrelly| OR: 80

50/1

Far from his finest hour at Doncaster last time out and has changed trainers since. Has stamina to prove in first-time blinkers.

Form: 832240

Provided he's ready to go on his first outing since September, ALFARRIS looks set to run his usual excellent race here. He has been seen to good effect since switching to handicap company, and has scope to win more races off his current mark (trip and track should also suit). He is taken to get the better of Top Mission and another gelding having his first run of the year in Nathan.
