3/1

Dual C&D winner last winter as part of an AW hat-trick. Not performed at that level this summer but three from five AW record shows that this surface is favoured so no surprise if he bounces right back to form.

11/8

Excellent AW record of four from seven with the latest a 7f win here last time out in his first run beyond 6f. Up in trip again but strong claims if he lasts it out and latest run suggested that likely.

18/1

Nine-time AW winner from 6f-7f including two starts back at Kempton over 6f. Had several cracks at 1m and always looked a non-stayer so hard to be confident in him here.

Chevallier³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 93| CD

17/2

Four time C&D winner ran well last time out at Wolverhampton finishing third of eight. Gets 1lb back for that and returns to clearly his favourite C&D now so realistic possibilities here.

Areen Heart^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: David Probert| T: D O'Meara| OR: 88| C

9/2

7f winner here in September has made the frame in all five subsequent starts (all 7f) finishing second the last twice off this mark. Seemed to just about last 1m earlier so no reason to think he will be any less effective here.

Tough Remedy¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 88| BF

6/1

Won first two AW starts before forced to settle for a close third in a small field which turned into a sprint last time out at Newcastle (7f). First try over 1m here but 7f win at Wolverhampton suggested it would be well within range.

BREATHLESS TIMES coped well with a step up to 7f last time as he got up right on the line and another step up in class could unlock further improvement here so he is worth siding with. Arcanada had a fine winter on the AW last year and could be ready to pick up where he left off now back here. It's also hard to rule out ultra-consistent Areen Heart after a run of fine form.
