Dazacam¹⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mathers| T: P A Kirby| OR: 70| CD

50/1

Previous C&D winner who has been struggling for form of late and has finished last in three of her last four starts. Returns from a three month break for a new yard off an attractive mark so market check very much needed.

Form: 439787

Hollander^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: W R Muir| OR: 70| CD

6/1

First-time tongue-tie did the trick for a cosy success over C&D last month off 6lb lower. Struggled in this grade last time and needs to make further progress again here.

Form: 005519

Union Rose^p³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Harris| OR: 70| CD

7/1

Seems to be at his best over this trip as when winning well at Bath two starts back. Struggled off this mark back there next time but the trip and ground were not ideal so possible he can get back to winning ways here.

Form: 665819

Rockies Spirit^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: D P Quinn| OR: 70

4/1

Sole success came in a novice event and has largely struggled in handicap company. Falling to a very dangerous mark though and has a good draw on the inner with Adam Kirby booked so market check very much needed.

Form: 660634

Bellevarde¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: R J Price| OR: 70| D

12/1

Won back-to-back races at Lingfield earlier in the year, the second of which came off this mark. Not been beaten all that far the last twice on turf and a return to the AW with a good draw mean a good run is likely.

Form: 174349

Razin' Hell³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: J Balding| OR: 69| D

40/1

Best form tends to come on the Fibresand at Southwell and has been badly out of form this year. Now 14lb lower than for last win but remains best watched at this stage.

Form: 450800

Normal Equilibrium⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: I Furtado| OR: 69| D

40/1

Not had many starts this year and has only won once on the AW. Mark is falling quickly and is sure to bounce back at some stage but draw makes life difficult today.

Form: 0-55605

(7)

A Sure Welcome^p³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: J L Spearing| OR: 69| CD

11/4

Previous C&D winner that is on a far mark. Ran a cracker at Kempton when a close second over 6f last month. Drop to minimum trip looks a good move and likely to make a fairly bold bid.

Form: 403752

(5)

Undercover Brother^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: J Balding| OR: 68| D

40/1

Very unpredictable and has finished last on his last two starts both over this trip on turf. AW record is not pretty reading and others preferred as a result.

Form: 821900

Oriental Relation^b¹⁹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Balding| OR: 68| CD

28/1

Previous C&D winner who returns here after a six month break. Best at this minimum trip and has won on the AW nine times in the past. Has dropped below last winning mark and has a plum draw if fit and ready to go.

Form: 4-80080

(4)

Angel of The South^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 68| C| D

9/2

Has been out of form of late but mark has dropped as a result. Cheekpieces seem to have a positive effect with a better effort at Chelmsford last time and they are retained here. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 279802

Forecasts

A Sure Welcome (11/4), Rockies Spirit (4/1), Angel of The South (9/2), Hollander (6/1), Union Rose (7/1), Bellevarde (12/1), Oriental Relation (28/1), Normal Equilibrium (40/1), Undercover Brother (40/1), Razin' Hell (40/1), Dazacam (50/1)

Several out of form performers in here and any result is possible. Union Rose remains of interest back to the minimum trip. A Sure Welcome has been running really well and is likely to make a bold bid from the front. Any money for ORIENTAL RELATION would be significant on the back of a six month break from a plum draw and a good mark.
