Carlovian^v⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 55| CD

9/2

Has continued in solid form since dropping down to the minimum trip and ran up to best when touched off at Newcastle last week when clear of the remainder. 2lb well in here though wide draw a slight concern.

Form: 331342

Ace Master^b¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: R Winston| T: S R Bowring| OR: 54| C| D

4/1

Veteran who rolled back the years when scoring over 7f here earlier in the month but this a rare go at the minimum trip and he hasn't won over it since October 2013.

Form: 497251

(2)

Foxy Boy¹²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 54| BF| DWS

12/1

In fine form in the summer of 2017 but generally struggled since and hasn't hit the frame in six previous attempts on the AW. Has had a wind op since last seen in July.

Form: 628695

(1)

Roy's Legacy²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: S A Harris| OR: 53| CD

25/1

Won a couple in similar grade in the spring but hasn't been in the same form since and needs to bounce back from a poor effort at Kempton last time.

Form: 000440

(7)

Social Butterfly^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: M R Channon| OR: 53| BF

5/1

Caught close home at Newcastle last week but that represented her best form on the AW and gets to race off a 1lb lower mark now so an obvious one for the short list.

Form: 661762

(8)

Alaskan Bay²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: Rae Guest| OR: 52| CD

8/1

Generally runs well here and won a similar event two starts ago. Better than finishing position suggests at Kempton subsequently and relatively lightly raced compared to some of these.

Form: 604214

(10)

Red Stripes^b¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Hayley Turner| T: L Williamson| OR: 51| BF| D

8/1

Back in his grade and running consistently of late but yet to win here in 23 attempts and does seem better at Chelmsford.

Form: 842233

(3)

Toni's A Star³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| CD

12/1

Scored at Haydock in the summer and ran up to that at Brighton subsequently but her form on the AW in the last year is below that so something to prove at present.

Form: 517525

(5)

Little Miss Lola¹³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 51| D

10/1

Good second at Hamilton in July but not seen since. Has form on the AW but has only tried Newcastle though if coping with the different surface, has the form to figure here.

Form: 2-35352

(6)

Storm Lightning¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Jones| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 50| CD

7/1

Has twice defied wide draws to spring 33/1 shocks this autumn, both times benefiting from a strong pace, so claims if the leaders go off hard up front.

Form: 031901

(9)

Teepee Time^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 49| CD

20/1

Not easy to predict but did win here in February and lost all chance when hampered early on last time. Others preferred.

Form: 670476

Forecasts

Ace Master (4/1), Carlovian (9/2), Social Butterfly (5/1), Storm Lightning (7/1), Alaskan Bay (8/1), Red Stripes (8/1), Little Miss Lola (10/1), Toni's A Star (12/1), Foxy Boy (12/1), Teepee Time (20/1), Roy's Legacy (25/1)

SOCIAL BUTTERFLY comes here off the back of a solid effort at Newcastle last week and can gain compensation. Despite his wide draw Carlovian rates the main threat with Alaskan Bay making up the short list.
