12/1

Winner of a novice event here over 5f last year. Hasn't been seen since running with credit at Kempton in January but could need this. Hood goes on.

66/1

Lightly-raced filly who has failed to make an impression the last thrice when failing to beat a rival home. Much more required in first-time hood.

12/1

Been running consistently well this year and was rewarded with a good win at Lingfield two starts back. Not quite so good back there last time but only 2lb higher than win here and can't discount.

12/1

Winner at Leicester over this trip two starts back. Struggled off this mark at Kempton last time but 7f there was not ideal and should do a little better back in trip here.

11/2

Ran a cracker on the back of a break over C&D two starts back. Bombed out on the Fibresand at Southwell last time and should be much more at home over this trip from a good draw.

Faraasah²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 74| D

8/1

Made a winning start for this yard back down in a maiden last time winning comfortably in the process. Should be more to come back in a handicap but wide draw is a worry.

Form: 00-6401

Highland Acclaim^h⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74| D

6/1

Yet to win in 20 starts on the AW but often runs well as when second at Lingfield over this trip last time. Probably needs everything to drop right.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: P D Evans| OR: 73| BF| D

22/1

Record of 3-31 overall and 0-6 on AW. Probably better at 7f nowadays and this quick 6f may prove too sharp.

Monumental Man^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 73| CD

9/2

Consistent sort who tends to always give his best. Only just failed over this C&D last time behind Delilah Park and has been nudged up another 2lb as a result. Very likely to run his race once more.

Delilah Park¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 73| CD

6/1

Bounced back to form when winning here over C&D here last time getting the better of Monumental Man in the process. 4lb rise to deal with here but not guaranteed to back that up.

Laubali^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72| CD

14/1

Won twice here in the summer over C&D and 5f. Latter of those two wins came off this mark. Cheekpieces go on, Kirby up and yard won this race last year. Big chance.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 72| D

14/1

Dual Polytrack winner, including two starts back at Chelmsford (5f). Ran equally as well when second here last time but best form tends to come over the minimum trip.

Monumental Man (9/2), Katheefa (11/2), Delilah Park (6/1), Highland Acclaim (6/1), Faraasah (8/1), Little Palaver (10/1), Anonymous John (12/1), Hello Girl (12/1), Danecase (12/1), Laubali (14/1), It's All A Joke (14/1), Harry Beau (22/1), Peggy's Angel (66/1)

Everything looks in place for a big run from LAUBALI who is on the improve over sprint trips, has Adam Kirby up today and his yard won this race last year. There should be more to come from Faraasah for her new yard although the wide draw is not perfect. Monumental Man is sure to run his race again and is respected.
