Mudallel²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R L Moore| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 80| D

15/8

Two from five on the AW with both wins coming over this trip at Kempton. Unsuited by drop to 7f on turf last time and could easily kick on again on first run here. Now only 2lb higher than last winning mark and looks a leading player.

Form: 117-765

Shadow Warrior³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 79| D

9/2

Very consistent record on an AW surface and had been very progressive until a disappointing effort on turf at Ascot last time. Would be no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 51-3316

Kodiline¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 79

20/1

Only win came in maiden company and was disappointing on last run for Clive Cox and first for this new stable. Best watched with stamina to prove up in trip.

Form: 554-508

Mr Minerals^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 78| D

2/1

Two from six on the AW and was unlucky two runs back here over 7f. Disappointed on turf last start but looks a better horse on a synthetic surface and has fallen to a very attractive mark.

The Eagle's Nest²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: Rae Guest| OR: 75| CD

7/2

Goes well here and was unlucky when not getting a clear run over this C&D after a break. Below par on turf since and stable a bit quiet at present but would be a leading hope back on this surface if at his best.

Forecasts

Mudallel (15/8), Mr Minerals (2/1), The Eagle's Nest (7/2), Shadow Warrior (9/2), Executive Force (5/1), Kodiline (20/1)

A small field but a very open handicap where Mudallel will appreciate the return to an AW surface after not getting a clear run on turf last start. Shadow Warrior is another who will like returning to a synthetic surface along with MR MINERALS who is now 2lb lower than his last winning mark and could have broken his losing run with a clearer run on his last visit here. The Eagle's Nest rates a danger as he also didn't get a clear passage when last running at this track and is well suited by the C&D.
