Multitask^p¹⁷⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: G & J Moore| OR: 55| BF| CD

10/1

Record of 10-47 on AW includes seven victories here. Last win came in October 2016 and his record after a break is poor.

Stosur^b²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 55| CD

11/1

Laast victory came over C&D last May off 3lb higher. Mark has slipped to a career low after some poor runs over trips that have been too far and she looks interesting.

Form: 98369-7

Herm^v1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: P D Evans| OR: 54

7/1

Both career wins have come over 7f at Wolverhampton but he went close over C&D in November. Beaten twice since over further but a player here off this mark.

Form: 55624-9

Farl¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: E Walker| OR: 53

11/2

Cape Cross filly who is a half sister to several winners including Newstead Abbey and Coprah. Caught the eye under a hands and heels ride last time over 6f and makes handicap debut off a mouthwatering mark given her pedigree.

Form: 06-6

Collate^v²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 53

5/1

Winner over 7f in France who has been much improved on last two starts. Can be a bit keen so an inside draw should help and handicapper has given her a chance.

Three C's^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Wintle| OR: 53| CD

13/2

Beat Herm over C&D in November but that rival weighted to turn the tables this time. Needs to race wide as he does not like to be crowded so stall one is far from helpful.

Form: 509125-

Voice of A Leader²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: P Howling| OR: 53

8/1

Record of 2-28 but generally consistent over this trip in 2018. Still looks more exposed than many in this and hard to argue he is well-handicapped.

Form: 82564-4

(8)

Diamond Reflection^p,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 52

7/1

Gained an overdue second career win on penultimate start following a previous unlucky run. Below his best last time and handicapper may have his measure for now.

Form: 2973-16

Hidden Dream^p⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 52

12/1

Had looked to have lost her way but has come back to form with a bang with a second and a breakthrough win over 1m2f at Chelmsford. Up 6lb but won with enough in hand to suggest she has more to offer if coping with the drop in trip.

Form: 340621-

No Approval⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 52| D

12/1

Dual Dundalk winner who showed some form for current yard around this time last year. Out of sorts lately and hard to recommend unless the market suggests a revival is likely.

Form: 340000-

Sir Jamie²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| CD

14/1

Took a division of this last year under today's rider and followed up with another C&D success three months later. Those victories came off marks of 45 and 47 so possible he needs to drop a few pounds to be more competitive.

Form: 13224-9

Forecasts

Collate (5/1), Farl (11/2), Three C's (13/2), Diamond Reflection (7/1), Herm (7/1), Voice of A Leader (8/1), Multitask (10/1), Stosur (11/1), Hidden Dream (12/1), No Approval (12/1), Mochalov (12/1), Sir Jamie (14/1)

Last year's winner Sir Jamie has gone up the weights and will find it hard to follow up. Herm and Stosur are two who appeal as being better treated, whilst Farl has an impressive pedigree and it would be no surprise to see her capitalise on an attractive opening mark. COLLATE has been much improved lately and has gone close twice from wide draws in better races than this. Amy Murphy's filly is drawn to gain more cover and she has a good opportunity to gain her first win in this country having dropped a couple of pounds
