Aguerooo^b,t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Wallis| OR: 68| CD

9/4

Last win came over this C&D off a 1lb higher mark and again was again a good second here in a higher grade on his latest start. Every chance here off the same mark.

Form: 245662

Flora Tristan¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 66

3/1

12-race maiden but in good form with three seconds in a row. Has run well here previously and should be involved once again.

Form: 844222

Billyoakes^p¹³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: C Wallis| OR: 64| CD

25/1

Front-runner who is twice a C&D winner and was only just denied by a nose on his last visit off this same mark. Didn't get a clear run on his latest run at Brighton and should be competitive back on his preferred surface.

Form: 152564

Zorawar^p1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M Harley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 63

6/1

Winner in France and after three poor runs for new stable he enjoyed the switch to the AW when running on well for an improved effort at Wolverhampton. More to come but may prefer further in time.

Turanga Leela^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mathers| T: Ian Williams| OR: 60| D

16/1

Has plummeted in the weights and down to a career low mark but badly out of sorts in four starts this year where she has only beaten two rivals home. Easy to overlook at present.

Form: 60-0089

(6)

Juan Horsepower^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Danny Brock| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 58| D

8/1

Winless run stretches back to May 2017 and although he shaped with promise at Wolverhampton on his second run for this new stable, he has been below that in two runs since over this C&D. Others preferred.

Form: 035467

(7)

Catheadans Fury^t¹⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: M R Bosley| OR: 57| D

50/1

Broke through on her sixth start but the form only looked weak and she was subsequently disappointing at Salisbury. More required in this company.

Form: 525910

(5)

Spirit Of Zebedee^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: J Fanning| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 48| D

4/1

Has had three runs since wind surgery and has run solidly the last twice. Remains on a competitive mark but this looks a stronger contest and more required.

Form: 930523

Blistering Dancer⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| D

33/1

Just two wins from 61 career starts with the last coming in April 2016 and yet to breakthrough on the AW. Hard to recommend on current form and from out of the handicap.

Form: 245845

Forecasts

Aguerooo (9/4), Flora Tristan (3/1), Spirit Of Zebedee (4/1), Zorawar (6/1), Juan Horsepower (8/1), Turanga Leela (16/1), Billyoakes (25/1), Blistering Dancer (33/1), Catheadans Fury (50/1)

AGUEROOO went close in a stronger class over this C&D and after meeting trouble in the straight the run can be upgraded. Flora Tristan remains without a win but is in consistent form and should be competitive once more. Billyoakes can make a bold bid over a C&D he acts so well at while Zorawar will be running on late and can continue to progress for his new trainer.
