Something Brewing^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: I Jardine| OR: 59| CD

6/1

C&D win in July from only 2lb lower when landing a bit of a punt. Fit from recent runs over hurdles and stamina no problem.

Form: 581344

(7)

Heron^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: B R Johnson| OR: 58

10/1

Shaped as though he is ready for this return to 2m when staying on into third in the first time cheek pieces last time. If he can build on that he could play a part.

Form: 249503

Calvinist^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee| T: K Frost| OR: 57| BF| C

8/1

1m4f win here three starts ago but has to prove his stamina for this trip having pulled too hard on only previous attempt at it.

Form: 572125

Yasir³²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 53| CD

8/1

Veteran who did well to beat a subsequent winner over C&D last month and lost little in defeat only run since at a shorter trip. The return to 2m will help and remains in decent form.

Form: 888213

Betancourt^p³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 53

14/1

Clear cut 1m6f Redcar win in the summer and then just touched off at Catterick over 2m. Bit below that form in two runs since and others preferred.

Form: 751285

Enchanting Enya^v³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 58

25/1

Won a muddling race at Chelmsford prior to a very disappointing effort on return visit to that venue. Something to prove after that run.

Form: 375417

Apex Predator^b,t⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: M Harley| T: S Durack| OR: 56

20/1

Yet to make the frame and needs to improve a fair bit for this further step up in trip to appeal.

Form: 970957

Harry Callahan¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: F Norton| T: M R Channon| OR: 54

8/1

Stepped up to 1m4f when showing a bit of improvement last time. Takes another big step up in trip and although has stamina to prove, has fewer miles on the clock than most of these.

Form: 970-88

(13)

Elite Icon^p1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48

40/1

Has struggled since a Musselburgh third on comeback run and first time cheek pieces need to inspire him on the return to AW.

Form: 379906

(10)

Cold Fusion¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 46

50/1

yet to win in 19 attempts on the AW and hard to draw any hope from her latest run at Lingfield.

Form: 5-00389

(6)

Lumen^t,v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: George Wood| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 50

7/4

Had shown little in maidens but was a different proposition taking the step up to 2m in first time visor when landing a gamble at Lingfield. Surely has more to come at this trip and looks the one to beat.

Form: 09001

(8)

Cue's Folly¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 46

20/1

Backed at big odds at Lingfield last time but fared no better and this maiden is readily passed over.

Forecasts

Lumen (7/4), Something Brewing (6/1), Calvinist (8/1), Yasir (8/1), Harry Callahan (8/1), Heron (10/1), Betancourt (14/1), Apex Predator (20/1), Cue's Folly (20/1), Enchanting Enya (25/1), Midas Maggie (33/1), Elite Icon (40/1), Cold Fusion (50/1)

LUMEN looked a different proposition at this trip last time and a repeat performance can see him follow up. Harry Callahan is a possible improver at this trip and can follow the selection home with the veteran Yasir looks best of the rest.
