Perfect Symphony¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 71| D

9/4

Hit a real purple patch with one win and two placed efforts from four starts this season. A good second off this mark (6F) at Chepstow last time but equally effective over the minimum trip. Sound claims with a capable 5lb claimer in the plate.

Form: 90-3213

Captain Lars^b²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 66| D

6/5

Won 19 of his 80 previous starts (5-29 on turf but all those wins were gained in South Africa) and can usually be relied upon to run his race. Needs to better a poor effort last time but this is easier than some of his recent AW assignments.

Form: 315326

Awesome Allan^t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P D Evans| OR: 64| D

9/2

Not won for almost a year but had 18 races in the intervening period. Still 2lb higher than last winning mark but nowhere to hide. Saddle slipped on his only previous Ffos Las run, so that run best forgotten. Place claims if he copes with the track.

Form: 033556

Edged Out^p1¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: C Mason| OR: 64| D

14/1

Suited by the trip and ground and handily weighted from 7lb lower than her last winning mark. First-time cheekpieces could help her sharpen her attack. One to watch in the betting at least.

Aquadabra¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 59| D

40/1

A winner from a 9lb higher mark last season but has been below par since switching to a new yard and now has a good bit to prove.

Form: 4-68666

Give Em A Clump^b¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 56| C

10/1

Goes well here - won over 6f but just as effective over the minimum distance when push comes to shove. Handily weighted from 4lb below his last winning mark and, given his rider assists with a 7lb claim, the gelding would be dangerous to overlook.

Form: 2U0662

Forecasts

Captain Lars (6/5), Perfect Symphony (9/4), Awesome Allan (9/2), Kodina (11/2), Give Em A Clump (10/1), Edged Out (14/1), Aquadabra (40/1)

This may rest between Perfect Symphony, who arrives here in good form but has to give weight away all round, and GIVE EM A CLUMP, who has valuable course form to his name and just edges the nomination as the better handicapped of the two on this occasion. Awesome Allen a stablemate of the selection is also worth noting in the betting. Support for Captain Lars also has foundation but the nine-year-old needs to atone for a poor effort last time and has bit more to prove.
