Rosarno^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: C Hills| OR: 77| D

5/1

Gelded in the summer and improved efforts since with a second at Chelmsford (1m) followed by a close C&D third last time out. Up 1lb but clearly in good order and looks a leading contender once again.

Form: 12-0023

Mr Minerals^t⁸³

5/2

C&D handicap winner last July off 4lb higher mark lost his way since and only made the frame once in seven starts this year. Had a break and wind surgery since last run so could now return to form and well treated if he does.

Form: 364655

Family Fortunes¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M Madgwick| OR: 75| C

10/1

Won first two career races including one here but 14 races since passed without success. Couple of seconds in the summer promising but fifths here and at Windsor in last two give him plenty to find.

Form: 652255

Kingston Kurrajong²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: W J Knight| OR: 74| CD

13/2

Dual C&D winner this season but four runs since over the same been fruitless and unplaced in last four runs overall with seventh of 10 most recently at Windsor. Plenty to prove now and others appeal more.

Casina Di Notte^p⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 74| D

16/1

Only won once but fair fourths the last twice including C&D most recently. Handicap falls again and now back to last winning mark so certainly one with each-way potential.

Arctic Sea³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole| OR: 72| CD

8/1

2017 C&D winner was back to winning ways two starts back at Lingfield (made all) before finishing midfield there when he couldn't get to the front. Only 1lb higher than last win and potential if he leads.

Form: 745216

Fortune And Glory³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Tuite| OR: 72| CD

8/1

Three wins this season including two here (once over C&D). Lesser efforts last twice after 6lb rise for Salisbury win. Gets 1lb back but suspect he remains too high.

Form: 313168

Cogital^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Watson| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 71

16/1

Couple of placed efforts in novice events followed by a ninth of 10 latest switched to handicap at Leicester, Evidence far from compelling.

Global Humor²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Mosse| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 70

25/1

Wolverhampton (AW) winner last season has managed no better than midfield in five starts this term. Plenty to prove overall and handicap not greatly appealing.

Form: 1-45698

Fieldsman¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 65| D

10/1

Second to a well handicapped sort at Chelmsford latest (won since) and mark remains the same today which makes him of plenty of appeal despite none from 11 AW record.

Form: 060142

Forecasts

Mr Minerals (5/2), Rosarno (5/1), Kingston Kurrajong (13/2), Arctic Sea (8/1), Fortune And Glory (8/1), Family Fortunes (10/1), Fieldsman (10/1), Cogital (16/1), Casina Di Notte (16/1), Global Humor (25/1)

Since being gelded ROSARNO has returned to form with two sound AW runs including over C&D latest and he makes the most appeal here in a race lacking depth based on recent form. Fieldsman may be the biggest danger after beating all bar an improving three-year-old last time out with Casina di Notte another on the shortlist after two solid fourths most recently.
