Famous Dynasty⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: M Blanshard| OR: 61| D

10/1

Just the 2-32 wins so far but stays this trip well enough. Ran a shocker at Kempton last time though when last of 12 and will need to turn the corner to figure here off top weight.

Lazarus^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 61

6/1

Landed Chelmsford 1m2f handicap in January off 4lb higher mark and has been in good form of late over hurdles, landing a Huntingdon claimer then failing by just a length to follow up in a Fakenham seller last time. Should be thereabouts.

Form: 666557

Betsalottie^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Jones| T: J J Bridger| OR: 59| CD

11/2

3-14 at this track and almost certainly found 2m too far here when well beaten last time. Back to optimum trip but in only modest form of late so needs to spark a revival.

Form: 425002

Vanity Vanity¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: D J Coakley| OR: 62

7/2

Nine-race maiden but nearly broke her duck when beaten just half a length here last time out aftre meeting trouble-in-running. Fair chance if repeating that effort off 2lb higher mark.

Form: 256693

Music Major¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: M J Attwater| OR: 57| C

14/1

Won twice last year over 1m2f but has run poorly all five starts since returning from break in mid-summer. Arguably well handicapped on pick of old form but is struggling and has stamina to prove.

Templier²⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57

22/1

Hasn't run on Flat for over two years but potentially well handicapped on pick of old form. Was upsides when falling in Kempton handicap hurdle in February and not seen since. Chance if fit for shrewd yard.

Wally's Wisdom¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Kieren Fox| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 55| D

3/1

Having second outing for new yard and shaped well on debut for handler when staying on into fourth over C&D last month. Should strip fitter now and is only 2lb higher than only AW win.

Form: 07/4154

Miss Inga Sock¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 55

16/1

5 career wins but has only one place from 7 AW starts to her name. Won off 12lb higher on turf 15 months ago and ran well latest from falling mark but consistency isn't her strong point.

Form: 4-50006

Guardiola^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 52

7/1

Placed twice at Chelmsford in October and fair effort when fourth on debut for new yard last month. Remains a maiden but jockey booking suggests connections hopeful of fair display.

Form: 376224

Dolphin Village^h⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: J F Egan| T: S A Harris| OR: 45| CD

10/1

Has won 8 times but not since the summer of 2016. Seems to have completely lost his way this season and offered little encouragement last time at Newcastle.

Form: 680688

(11)

Silken Moonlight⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: George Wood| T: A D Brown| OR: 45

33/1

Yet to reach a place in six starts so far and has looked decidedly moderate. Hard to see her figuring here despite her lowly mark.

Form: 788-696

(7)

Millie May⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Fahy| T: J C Fox| OR: 45

66/1

Eights starts so far but not even a place to show for her troubles. Looks to face a very stiff task yet again and likely to finish with more in front than behind.

Form: 80-0897

(12)

Mistress Nellie^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 45

33/1

Only form came when a surprise runner-up in Windsor middle distance handicap this summer but has done little to whet the appetite since. Others are readily preferred.

Forecasts

Wally's Wisdom (3/1), Vanity Vanity (7/2), Betsalottie (11/2), Lazarus (6/1), Guardiola (7/1), Famous Dynasty (10/1), Dolphin Village (10/1), Music Major (14/1), Miss Inga Sock (16/1), Templier (22/1), Mistress Nellie (33/1), Silken Moonlight (33/1), Millie May (66/1)

TEMPLIER is on a decent weight and has a sound chance if fit after an absence. His shrewd handler can get them ready to go after a break so he looks of interest. Vanity Vanity looked a shade unlucky over C&D last time and won't be far away once again, while Lazarus and Wally's Wisdom are others who may play their part in a trappy affair.
