15/2

Fourth career success just over a year ago came over 7f at Chelmsford off a mark of 95. Run just twice since, finishing last of eight over 1m½f here nine days ago. Entitled to strong claims dropped into this company.

11/8

Fine strike rate on the AW (8-30), didn't need to be at his best when landing Lingfield claimer over 7f last time. Second in this last year and good chance on first start for new handler.

Los Camachos¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 81

11/2

Record reads 1-14, capable of running good solid races but also been known to throw in an odd poor one. Well below best in 1m Chelmsford handicap recently. Not discounted here.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: S Donohoe| T: Ian Williams| OR: 71| D

17/2

Well beaten in two Kempton handicaps from there starts on the AW, though did go close in 7f Lingfield claimer in between when trying to close from dawdling pace.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 74| D

5/1

Winner of a Windsor claimer (6f, good to soft) in October, didn't run a bad race in handicap company here over same trip last time under this claiming rider. Should give good account up in distance.

Tavener^p⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 76| CD

33/1

In good form earlier in the year, winning at Lingfield and Chelmsford over shorter trips. Quickly beaten at the latter venue in September when last spotted and tough ask against a couple of these on best form.

Secondo^v¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: R Stephens| OR: 74| C

12/1

Without a win since December 2014. Has had various trainers and was purchased most recently for 8,000 guineas last October. Beaten just under 7L in handicap here over 6f last month.

Form: 27-7607

Anif^p,t¹³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Jean-Rene Auvray| OR: 61

17/2

Maiden winner at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in June 2017, quite lightly-raced since (just four runs on AW), though was badly out of form in three summer turf starts.

Form: 355006

Shovel It On^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: S Flook| OR: 52| D

80/1

Form this season has gone the wrong way and looks easy to swerve on the evidence of his latest three poor efforts.

Forecasts

Unforgiving Minute (11/8), Zapper Cass (5/1), Los Camachos (11/2), Steel Train (15/2), Misty Birnam (17/2), Anif (17/2), Secondo (12/1), Tavener (33/1), Captain Sedgwick (50/1), Shovel It On (80/1)

STEEL TRAIN could be a cut above these if anywhere near his best form and looks worth siding with dropping into this grade. Unforgiving Minute was second in this race a year ago and should go close again for his new trainer while Los Camachos, Zapper Cass and Misty Birnam are entitled to get involved in the mix for minor honours.
