Assassinate⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 62

8/1

Winner at two but missed the whole of last year. Returned to form with a 2L fourth over 6f on Lingfield's turf track last month, not as effective there since and drops to claiming company now.

Form: 01/9846

Central City^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 73| CD

5/6

Three-year-old won over C&D last September and has been shaping well enough here recently in handicaps, entitled to hold decent claims in this event if anywhere near best.

Form: 270056

(4)

Domestic Way¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti

14/1

Best of the rest to a wide-margin winner on his debut on the AW (7f) but was beaten 9L by a strong favourite. Tailed off here in 7f maiden since and drops quickly into claiming company.

Form: 20

(3)

Trotter^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: W S Kittow| OR: 69| CD

2/1

Sole career success came around here in a seller back in February. Chepstow turf run in July wasn't all bad, not one to discount returned to AW and in this grade.

Form: 641430

Mrs Hitchcock^t1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss K Brown| OR: 39

80/1

Poor maiden after nine starts, application of headgear recently hasn't changed the narrative and a tongue tie is reached for this time.

Form: 00-5807

(6)

Krampus^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: S L Keightley

100/1

Twice-raced, showing very little to get work with in 7f novice auction at Chepstow (soft) or 1m Leicester seller on good to firm. Hard to recommend.

Form: 98

(2)

Tink³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Liam Jones| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 45

125/1

0-19 so far, all bar one of those efforts coming on the AW. Despite an occasional effort that suggests that she might win a race somewhere, there have not been enough of them to suggest that today will be the day.

Form: 860600

Forecasts

Central City (5/6), Trotter (2/1), Ubla (7/2), Assassinate (8/1), Domestic Way (14/1), Mrs Hitchcock (80/1), Krampus (100/1), Tink (125/1)

CENTRAL CITY won over C&D last year and has been running with some purpose recently in handicaps at this venue. This represents a good chance to get on the board once more. Ubla is a four-time winner on the AW and goes on the shortlist alongside Trotter, who gained his only career win here in February.
