Hammer Gun^v²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: F Norton| T: D Shaw| OR: 82| C| D

25/1

Successful on his preferred Southwell Fibresand in March, but not much to shout about on turf and the AW since. Readily opposed on this surface.

Form: 880078

(11)

Pearl Spectre^v¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 80| CD

14/1

All eight wins have come on the AW, the most recent at Southwell in April. Has winning form over this C&D and recent fifth at this venue was a respectable effort.

Form: 525095

Made Of Honour¹⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: K R Burke| OR: 80| D

8/1

Improving filly who has won all three of her races on the AW. First try at this venue and recent last of five on turf at Wetherby can be forgiven. Solid claims.

Form: 771-115

(4)

Acrux²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 79| D

8/1

Landed a Kempton claimer over 6f last month and has run with credit in two subsequent AW handicaps over 6f. Stays this trip and has a decent chance off a viable mark.

Form: 333126

Dark Side Dream^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 77| CD

4/1

Went up 2lb after scoring at Kempton last month and ran well again at that venue when third of 14, beaten only ½L, last time. In good heart and likely to give another bold show.

Form: 454513

(5)

Salute The Soldier¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 79| BF

7/4

Promise in maiden/novice company on turf and the AW. Makes his handicap debut on a feasible rating and is one to keep an eye on in the betting.

Form: 32-4

(10)

Kadrizzi²⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 77| BF| C

33/1

Winner of four of his 30 races, but is on a lengthy losing sequence and latest effort at Wolverhampton was underwhelming. Others have much stronger profiles.

Form: 08-0780

(7)

Evening Attire⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 73| D

25/1

Latest of his five wins came at Wolverhampton in December, 2016. Only two runs in 2018 have not revealed enough to suggest he will be winning this.

Form: 4527-84

(2)

Soumei¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 72

25/1

Off the mark in a 5½f novice event at Brighton in May, but recent handicap debut at that track was disappointing. Seemed to handle this surface on debut so he is not one to rule out after being dropped 3lb.

Form: 5130

(8)

Gibeno^v⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

9/2

Nine-race maiden on the Flat who ran well to be third in a first-time visor over C&D four days ago. Each-way prospects again off the same mark with the headgear retained.

Form: 354403

(3)

Sayesse³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: J F Egan| T: L Williamson| OR: 67| D

40/1

Won five times for Mick Channon and first effort for current trainer over C&D was respectable. Down 2lb, but may be vulnerable to more progressive rivals.

Form: 450045

Forecasts

Salute The Soldier (7/4), Dark Side Dream (4/1), Gibeno (9/2), Made Of Honour (8/1), Acrux (8/1), Pearl Spectre (14/1), Evening Attire (25/1), Soumei (25/1), Hammer Gun (25/1), Kadrizzi (33/1), Sayesse (40/1)

A market move for handicap debutant Salute The Soldier may be significant, but the percentage call is MADE OF HONOUR, who is 3-3 on the AW and can be forgiven last time's lapse on turf. Acrux is in good heart and can follow her home, while others to consider are Pearl Spectre, Dark Side Dream and Gibeno.
