Edgar^p⁶²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 63| C| D

25/1

First run since April 2017 but can go well fresh having previously won following a 212-day absence. Goes well here but yet to prove he stays this far on the Flat.

Form: 11732/7-

Deep Resolve¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: G Lee| T: B Leavy| OR: 62| C| D

11/2

All three AW wins have come here and on a fair mark at 3lb lower than the last of them. However stamina a query at this trip and has struggled in three hurdle starts for current yard.

Form: 133863-

Planetoid^t,v¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: J & S Best| OR: 55| D

7/2

On a long losing run dating back to April 2016 but was better at Lingfield last time. Hard to get carried away with for win purposes but possibilities if taking to fibresand on course debut.

Form: 398444

(9)

Miskin^h¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 52

11/2

Yet to win since arriving from France and hasn't taken to the AW elsewhere. Possible he needed the run last time following a three-month break but questions remain on course debut.

Form: 5-63428

(4)

Crindle Carr^p¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: J L Flint| OR: 51| D

6/1

Can be inconsistent but two decent efforts in his last three starts. Not seen since July but on a very competitive mark on first run here. Rates a leading hope in a weak field.

Siyahamba⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Nathan Evans| T: B Smart| OR: 45

5/1

Not disgraced at Redcar last time but he didn't finish the race as though this extra trip would suit and remains an 18-race maiden.

Form: 9-95494

(6)

Foxy Lass^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 45| D

33/1

Sole win came over hurdles and while her new stable remains in great form, she has been poor in two runs (one on the Flat and one over hurdles) since arriving from Ireland and remains best watched.

Form: 0090-00

(3)

Sincerely Resdev^p⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45

11/2

12-race maiden who struggled in both starts when last seen in October. Stamina still to prove at this far and others preferred.

Form: 243770

(7)

Constituent^v1⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Liam Jones| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

14/1

Bred to get a trip but has finished tailed off in all four starts to date and significant improvement required in a first-time visor.

Form: 4980

(2)

Iconic Boy⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: P Mathers| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 45

12/1

Has really lost his way this year but is plummeting in the weights. Questions to answer on course debut and moves significantly up in trip. In-form stable also runs Foxy Lass.

Form: 089070

Forecasts

Planetoid (7/2), Siyahamba (5/1), Sincerely Resdev (11/2), Miskin (11/2), Deep Resolve (11/2), Crindle Carr (6/1), Iconic Boy (12/1), Constituent (14/1), Edgar (25/1), Foxy Lass (33/1)

The veteran Planetoid should be involved if taking to the surface but it's been a while since he tasted success. Edgar has a massive absence to overcome but can't be discounted. In a weak contest it may pay to side to take the chance that this surface will suit CRINDLE CARR who stays well and is on an attractive mark.
