Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 5m 1.7s

Tornado In Milan²¹²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 136| C| D

5/1

In great form when last seen in March winning back-to-back races. In the veteran stage now and has to give weight away all round here but not discounted.

Form: 432411-

Candy Burg^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: O Murphy| OR: 129

15/8

Winner at Newton Abbot before fading late on at Market Rasen up in grade last time. This is far less taxing than that but has a few pounds to find here.

Form: 17-3P17

Altiepix^h,t⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 120WS

8/1

Only three starts so far this year and not been in the best of form. Has had wind surgery since being well held at Stratford in a handicap in August and needs to put best foot forward.

Form: P7P-3P7

King Alfonso⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: T Scudamore| T: D Burchell| OR: 119

8/1

Been in terrific form this summer having won three on the bounce. Needs to find a bit extra on these terms however.

Form: 6-31116

Rock On Oscar^h,t¹⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Stan Sheppard⁽³⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 132| D

5/1

Clearly had his issues having only had one start in the last twelve months. Picked up for £2,000 and starts life for new yard today. Best of his form would give him major claims.

Form: 1132/3U-

Crown Theatre^t⁴⁸²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: N D Fehily| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 115WS

8/1

Another who has clearly had several issues having only had one start since the summer of 2016. Has had wind surgery but fitness has to be taken on trust. Dangerous if fit and ready to go.

Form: 64788/P-

Earthmoves^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 121| CD

7/2

Has started to show signs that he might not be in love with the game anymore. Off the bridle early on several occasions this season and others seem to have stronger claims.

Form: P5-360P

Forecasts

Candy Burg (15/8), Earthmoves (7/2), Tornado In Milan (5/1), Rock On Oscar (5/1), King Alfonso (8/1), Crown Theatre (8/1), Altiepix (8/1)

CANDY BURG probably has a few pounds to find with the best of these but he at least has been in good form of late and has to be taken very seriously. Tornado in Milan is into the veteran stage now but he was in such goof form when last seen that he rates as the main danger.
