Social Butterfly^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: F Norton| T: M R Channon| OR: 56| CD

7/4

Consistent in this grade and her recent C&D win received a boost from the runner up last week. Still relatively lightly raced and sure to be competitive from this 3lb higher mark.

Form: 617621

(2)

Demons And Wizards^b1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: S Kirk| OR: 54

6/1

Out of sorts all year though a sign of slightly better last time. Now drops down to the minimum trip for the first time and blinkers are tried.

Form: 2-00906

(4)

Red Stripes^b¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 52| D

7/2

Narrow defeats on consecutive days here last month. Yet to win in 26 visits to this venue but running consistently of late in this grade and should figure again.

Form: 233822

Storm Lightning¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 50| CD

10/1

Two wins this autumn and although he has work to do with Social Butterfly from latest run, a fast pace would suit and has favourable draw.

Sienna Says^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 50| D

25/1

Too keen when below par latest Needs to bounce back and has the widest draw to contend with though career low mark now.

Teepee Time^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 46| CD

25/1

Badly out of sorts since Leicester win in midsummer and lost all chance with a slow start last time. Plenty to prove at present.

Encoded²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 45

33/1

14 race maiden who often gives away ground at the start. Has shown a glimmer of ability on occasions at Newcastle and this is her first AW run away from that venue.

Form: 037047

(7)

Celerity^b⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

50/1

Out of sorts and well beaten at huge odds recently. Still a maiden on AW and not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 588800

Storm Trooper^t³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: C Wallis| OR: 45| D

15/2

First form for ages when second in a Southwell seller on Friday. May be it was the first go on the fibresand there that brought about the improvement but interesting if he can repeat it here.

Form: 670682

(6)

Bluella⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

16/1

Showed a touch more on stable debut last month and still lightly raced so possible there is more to come on handicap from this basement mark.

Form: 9484

(8)

Trulove^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: J Riches| OR: 45

66/1

Moderate maiden tried over various trips and blinkers which were tried last time are retained here but hard to fancy on all known evidence.

Form: 584807

Forecasts

Social Butterfly (7/4), Red Stripes (7/2), Demons And Wizards (6/1), Storm Trooper (15/2), Storm Lightning (10/1), Bluella (16/1), Teepee Time (25/1), Sienna Says (25/1), Encoded (33/1), Celerity (50/1), Trulove (66/1)

SOCIAL BUTTERFLY is proven in this grade and generally seems to run her race which may be enough. Red Stripes is running well enough to suggest he can hit the frame again, while Bluella may have more to come for this yard.
