(1)

High Wells^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: S Durack| OR: 72| BF

16/1

Followed a good second over hurdles with a fourth in a stronger contest at Bath. Has shaped as though this trip may be ideal and should be involved on AW debut.

Form: 602214

(7)

Whinging Willie^v³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-13| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 72| C

16/1

Has fallen to an attractive handicap mark but generally well held recently and the big step up in trip isn't certain to suit.

Form: 704727

(8)

Against The Odds³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: A Kirby| T: Tom Clover| OR: 70

8/1

Won twice for Paul Cole in 2016 and now 12lb lower than the last of them. Stays this trip but did look a bit flat the last twice and more needed.

Form: 490254

(3)

Bamako Du Chatelet¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Fran Berry| T: Ian Williams| OR: 66| C

12/1

Well backed when back to winning ways in good style on the turf track here. 4lb rise isn't a problem on a surface he enjoys and for an in-form stable, however hasn't always convinced at this distance previously.

Form: 477731

Snowy Dawn²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 66| D

66/1

Returned from a lengthy absence to be beaten out of sight at Chelmsford last month and remains very easy to oppose.

Form: 453/19-5

(10)

Perla Blanca⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 65| D

9/1

Enjoyed the step up in trip on her second start for new stable when breaking through at Doncaster albeit in a modest race. Open to more progress but more required and has now refused to load twice since.

Form: 5246-21

(4)

Twister^v1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 73| CD

11/4

Beaten favourite twice in a row before finally justifying the support over this C&D. Below that off this 5lb higher mark at Kempton but perhaps more to come in first-time visor.

Form: 522313

(9)

Voluminous¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 72

6/1

Won with loads in hand over shorter on the turf track here and now takes a big step up in distance. Form of win only modest but eye-catching and looks only likely to progress.

Form: 467351

(2)

Airmax¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 71

6/1

Nine-race maiden but regularly placed including when second to Twister over this C&D. Gets handy 5lb pull and likely soft ground on a testing track didn't suit on latest outing. Should go close.

Form: 237229

(6)

In Demand¹³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 68

4/1

Well held in all three starts back in April and May and now makes handicap debut following an absence. Plenty of stamina in pedigree so could improve significantly for the steep up in trip.

Form: 786

Forecasts

Twister (11/4), In Demand (4/1), Voluminous (6/1), Airmax (6/1), Against The Odds (8/1), Perla Blanca (9/1), Bamako Du Chatelet (12/1), Whinging Willie (16/1), High Wells (16/1), Snowy Dawn (66/1)

Twister and AIRMAX were one-two over this C&D before both disappointed on their next start, however conditions didn't suit the latter at all and he looks well treated off revised terms. High Wells rates the main danger off the back of some good form under both codes while Bamako Du Chatelet remains well weighted if proving his liking for this trip. Voluminous has a bit to find but the manner of her win suggests she could have plenty more to come and is significantly up in trip along with In Demand who is worth a market check.
