Brandy Station^h²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 65| D

14/1

Ffos Las winner in August, but made a low-key return to the AW at Newcastle earlier this month. Only 1lb lower and has a bit to find.

Form: 623147

Ladweb¹⁰⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J Gallagher| OR: 65| D

7/1

Not disgraced in two runs on turf in August, but has not been sighted since. AW record does not lend much encouragement, so he is best watched on this occasion.

Form: 7573-33

(8)

Secret Potion⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 65| CD

7/2

C&D winner last month and shaped quite well back at this venue last week. Runs off the same mark and is one of the more likely contenders.

Form: 303105

Temple Road^b,t³²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Kerrie Raybould⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 64| CD

33/1

Approaching the veteran stage, but is no back number as he showed when scoring at Lingfield last December. First run since January, however, and will probably benefit from the outing.

Form: 78913-6

(6)

Time To Reason^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: C Wallis| OR: 64

5/1

Well held over 6f at Chelmsford earlier this month which took his AW record to 0-12. Both career wins have been achieved over 7f.

Form: 736007

The Golden Cue²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 63| D

16/1

Finished 13th of 14 at Nottingham on latest start earlier this month. Probably best watched as he makes his AW debut.

Form: 769180

Jorvik Prince⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: K Tutty| OR: 63| CD

8/1

Led for a long way when sixth of seven at Chelmsford in September. Down 3lb and enjoys this surface, so not one to write off.

Form: 874306

Tiger Lyon^h,t1⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Butler| OR: 61| CD

5/1

Well beaten in three turf starts since joining this stable from Ollie Pears' yard. May do better back on the AW, but has a bit to prove for now. Tongue tied for the first time.

Form: 1-27760

(5)

Royal Mezyan⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: H Spiller| OR: 61| CD

3/1

Fair efforts on last two AW starts, but is on a long, losing sequence. Has been given some help by the handicapper, however.

Forecasts

Royal Mezyan (3/1), Secret Potion (7/2), Midnight Guest (4/1), Time To Reason (5/1), Tiger Lyon (5/1), Ladweb (7/1), Jorvik Prince (8/1), Brandy Station (14/1), Shesthedream (14/1), The Golden Cue (16/1), Temple Road (33/1)

SECRET POTION has shown a liking for this C&D and looks sure to give a good account in a race which may not take a great deal of winning. Jorvik Prince has a fair record at this track and can chase him home, while bottom-weight Shesthedream could also figure along with Royal Mezyan.
