Lalania^h³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: S C Williams| OR: 70| D

9/2

Only win in nine starts came in a Yarmouth maiden. Well beaten in a 5f Chelmsford handicap last month and more is needed over this longer trip off 2lb lower.

Miracle Works³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 69

6/1

Still without a victory after nine starts, but has been placed three times on the AW and has not been beaten too far on the last two of them. Should be competitive.

Form: 8285-38

Big Time Maybe^p⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: M J Attwater| OR: 69| CWS

12/1

Winner of three of his 12 races on the AW. Not at his best when last seen at Chelmsford in October, but has had wind surgery since then and may be ready to show his true worth off a lenient mark.

Form: 767388-

Dotted Swiss^b⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 69| CD

9/4

Caught the eye when a fast-finishing third of 10 at Wolverhampton eight days ago. Runs off the same mark and may make amends if staging her finishing effort a little earlier.

Form: 30680-3

Real Estate^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M J Attwater| OR: 68

3/1

Third run for this yard after leaving James Tate's stable when close third of 11 over 7f at this venue earlier this month. Races off same mark and drops in trip.

Form: 74509-3

Aguerooo^p,t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C Wallis| OR: 63| CD

5/1

On a lengthy losing run, but has not been disgraced in recent starts and has dropped to a fair mark. Each-way claims.

Form: 62584-6

Forecasts

Dotted Swiss (9/4), Real Estate (3/1), Lalania (9/2), Aguerooo (5/1), Miracle Works (6/1), Big Time Maybe (12/1)

Aguerooo has slipped to an attractive mark and can make his presence felt, but the vote goes to DOTTED SWISS, who finished in taking fashion at Wolverhampton last time and can get her head back in front. None of the others can be ruled out with any confidence and perhaps the best of them may be Big Time Maybe.
