Higher Power⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 105| CD

5/1

Below form in hot handicaps the last twice, but has won over C&D in the past, and not a massive surprise to see him get involved from a sliding mark.

Form: 97-8200

Lord George⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 105| CD

8/1

Won over C&D in January and better form when second in valuable event at Lingfield in March, but hasn't fired in three subsequent runs, albeit with turf an excuse for recent efforts.

Form: 142095

Watersmeet¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 102| CD

11/4

Best on AW, and good fourth in Northumberland Plate in June. Possibly needed the run when a creditable fourth in a 1m4f Listed race here last time, and should go very well here.

Form: 394004

Alqamar^p¹¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 93

7/2

No win since May 2017, but he's handled himself well in some tough Class 2 handicaps (1m4f-1m6f) this year, and ran up to his best when second to Speedo Boy at Ascot in July. Returning from a break now.

Form: 8-33332

Baydar^b¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Ian Williams| OR: 91

4/1

Losing run is mounting up now but he's been in better form from his reduced mark in recent starts. Creditable sixth in November Handicap on latest run, and stamina for this trip proven when second at York. Contender.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 91

5/1

Both wins have come in the mud, most recently over 1m6f at Redcar last month. In form, but facing a difficult task on return to AW here.

Forecasts

Watersmeet (11/4), Alfredo (11/4), Alqamar (7/2), Baydar (4/1), Higher Power (5/1), Billy Ray (5/1), Lord George (8/1), Darksideoftarnside (10/1)

WATERSMEET ran well over shorter here last time on the back of a break, and can get back to winning ways returned to two miles now. Alqamar has been off since July, but looks a threat on form, with Baydar looking the best of the Ian Williams-trained pair.
