Buzz⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Liam Keniry| T: H Morrison| OR: 98| CD

13/8

Unbeaten in three visits to this venue and his win in May in particular is very strong form. Won a valuable handicap at Newbury and creditable fifth in November Handicap recently and sets the standard here.

Form: 511615

Magellan^p⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: P A Kirby| OR: 91| CD

16/1

58,000 gns purchase from Roger Charlton since last seen. Unbeaten in three AW runs including twice here and dangerous if getting an easy time up front.

Form: 1-21146

Castlelyons^h¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: R Stephens| OR: 90| C

25/1

Never got into the race here on comeback recently but entitled to come on for that and his form this time last year makes him of interest.

Form: 8011-38

(8)

Envoy¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Tate| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 90| CD

7/1

Two from two here and in fine form this year with stable finally getting a clear run of things with him. Relatively lightly raced for a four-year-old and should have more to come.

Form: 0-71611

Noble Gift¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 88| CD

20/1

Front-runner who has yet to gain a win this year but ran well when just reeled in by Envoy last time but others have more potential.

Form: 932482

Medrano²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: R Winston| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 85| D

11/1

Often gives away his race at the start and if breaking slowly again will need them to go hard up front if he's going to be picking them off in the closing stages.

Form: 838205

Super Kid^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84

14/1

Kept on from an unpromising position here last time but looking exposed and others preferred in such a strong contest.

Form: 620544

(6)

Zlatan¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: E De Giles| OR: 84

25/1

Sandown win in September over 1m2f but didn't convince with his stamina when tried over C&D here last month and not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 274127

(7)

Western Duke¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Ian Williams| OR: 84| BF| CD

4/1

Failed to land a punt here last time but has more to come for his new yard and two from two under today's rider. Respected.

Form: 355493

Pipes Of Peace^t²³

12/1

Had been off the track for a year but has come back with a pair of good efforts at this venue. Had wind surgery since the most recent of them and latest run has received a boos by the winner having gone in again.

Form: 5672-23

(13)

Argus⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 75| CD

100/1

Out of sorts of late since his win here in February and very hard to fancy on recent evidence.

Form: 490887

(9)

Luv U Whatever^t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-0| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 73| D

66/1

Front-runner who won at Newbury in the summer but this is much harder and will have competition for the lead.

Form: 760563

(4)

Running Cloud^v²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Nicola Currie| T: A King| OR: 70

12/1

First run since switch in stable. Recent third here has received a boost from the winner but work to do from 8lb out of the weights.

Form: 255723

Forecasts

Buzz (13/8), Western Duke (4/1), Envoy (7/1), Medrano (11/1), Pipes Of Peace (12/1), Running Cloud (12/1), Super Kid (14/1), Magellan (16/1), Noble Gift (20/1), Castlelyons (25/1), Zlatan (25/1), Luv U Whatever (66/1), Argus (100/1)

BUZZ has been in fine form this year and can maintain his unbeaten record on the AW. Plenty of dangers as you would expect in a such a valuable handicap and Envoy heads the list with Castlelyons expected to leave his recent run behind.
