Aguerooo^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 72| CD

7/2

C&D winner who has a decent record on the AW (6-27) having never won on turf despite some respectable performances on that surface. He's yet to win for this yard but looks on a decent mark and should run his race here.

Form: 656424

Entertaining Ben^p⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 65| CD

3/1

A winner here over C&D he carries a 6lb penalty today for his unchallenged (made all) win at Brighton last time having slipped the field early on. Unlikely to find conditions so favourable this time but can't be ruled out while he's in this form.

Magic Pulse⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: D C Costello| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 72| CD

9/2

Drops down in grade and returns to the AW on his 2nd start back from some wind surgery. Ran below form on that return but a return to the AW (already a C&D winner) may help (all three wins on AW); 1lb above her last winning mark.

Sky Gypsy¹²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: G Mosse| T: D H Brown| OR: 68| BF| D

3/1

Off the mark in good style over 5f on the AW (Tapeta) back in April but only seen once since then when failing to cope with an 8lb rise for her win. Now returns from another absence off that same mark but on a different AW surface.

Form: 1/50-314

Awesome Allan^t⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P D Evans| OR: 64| BF| D

8/1

Yet to win on the AW but starting to feature off what looks to be a workable mark having run well on turf in May/June. Has run well on this surface before although a return to 6f may be more in his favour.

Haveoneyerself^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 59| D

25/1

Bounced back to form from nowhere in first-time cheekpieces on quick ground at Yarmouth in June. True to form he's failed to back up that run for the most part and looks as though he could need some more severe headgear back on the AW.

Form: 501369

Red Stripes^b¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 51| CD

8/1

Multiple course winner in the past with five wins to his name here (four over C&D) but his losing run is now starting to stack up. Way below his last winning mark now but he's failing to finish off his races and looks a perilous proposition.

Forecasts

Entertaining Ben (3/1), Sky Gypsy (3/1), Aguerooo (7/2), Magic Pulse (9/2), Red Stripes (8/1), Awesome Allan (8/1), Haveoneyerself (25/1)

It may well be a case of striking while the iron is hot with ENTERTAINING BEN who despite his 6lb penalty still looks reasonably well weighted and if he’s positively ridden again may well be able to build on his Brighton romp. Aguerooo has yet to hit the back of the net for this yard but his turn can’t be far away having shaped well here on his penultimate start over 6f; he’s always looked at his best on the AW. A drop in grade and return to the AW should help Magic Pulse while Awesome Allan enters the picture on his earlier turf form although 6f here may suit much better.
