Divine Call⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 11| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C Wallis| OR: 45| D

16/1

Veteran ended a two year losing sequence when taking a selling handicap at Southwell. Looks to prefer a slower surface nowadays and may be worth waiting for a return to the fibresand where he's now unbeaten in two.

Form: 889661

Fly True⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: N Mackay| T: I Furtado| OR: 45| D

4/1

Gained an overdue second career win and a first for her new yard at Southwell. Trainer does well with his imports and she has to be respected but 5lb rise and different surface to contend with.

Form: 507551

Roy's Legacy¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 50| C

20/1

Won a couple of times in the spring but has been largely out of sorts since. Attractively handicapped now but needs to better recent efforts.

Form: 044079

Brother In Arms³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Winston| T: A W Carroll| OR: 49| D

10/1

Sole win came at Kempton in March 2017 but possibilities on his last two runs at the same track. Concern remains that he looks a tricky ride late on.

Form: 626054

Captain Ryan³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: G Deacon| OR: 49| D

12/1

Last win came in Novermber 2016 but should be fitter for two decent runs back and on a good mark. All wins have come at shorter but could be involved.

Form: 736953

Poppy May⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: J G Given| OR: 49

10/1

Sole win came over 7f at Southwell and below that over the same C&D latest. Probably needs some help from the handicapper.

Form: 900259

Rebel Heart^v²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 49| D

25/1

Well held the last twice and although down in grade has now been unplaced in six starts on the AW. Others preferred.

Form: 1-53300

Tidal's Baby^b⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: S Donohoe| T: A B Joyce| OR: 49| D

6/1

Irish raider has regressed with racing this year and with just one win from 35 AW starts remains easy to oppose.

Form: 8-46000

Slipalongtrevaskis^b1¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: P Howling| OR: 47

10/1

Not beaten far the last twice including over this C&D. Could be competitive in first-time blinkers but also entered at Kempton on Wednesday.

Moremoneymoreparty⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Jones| T: S L Keightley| OR: 47

5/1

11-race maiden but ran up to her best at Southwell last time. Has gone well here previously and every chance she can be competitive down to this grade.

Form: 748942

(13)

Pindaric⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D Carroll| OR: 45| BF

6/1

23-race maiden with possibilities on his second over this C&D two starts back. May be that this course brings out the best in him but remains hard to predict.

Form: 800525

(8)

Monarch Maid²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 45| CD

14/1

Front-runner who is 2lb lower than C&D win in February. Not beaten far in her last three starts and place possibilities again.

Form: 306333

Blistering Dancer⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| D

14/1

Just two wins in a 63-race career (the last in April 2016) and yet to win in 26 on the AW. Ran well over this C&D two starts back but below that last time and remains easy to oppose.

T: Emma Owen J: E J Walsh

Forecasts

Fly True (4/1), Moremoneymoreparty (5/1), Pindaric (6/1), Tidal's Baby (6/1), Poppy May (10/1), Slipalongtrevaskis (10/1), Brother In Arms (10/1), Legal Mind (10/1), Captain Ryan (12/1), Blistering Dancer (14/1), Monarch Maid (14/1), Divine Call (16/1), Roy's Legacy (20/1), Rebel Heart (25/1)

LEGAL MIND should get a stronger pace to aim at here and be fitter and open to improvement from his first run back. Moremoneymoreparty has course form and has to be respected down to this level while Captain Ryan is hard to win with but remains on a good mark that should see him in the mix.
