Joegogo¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 80| BF| CD

9/4

Made all to score over this trip at Chelmsford on his penultimate outing and followed that up with a good second at Wolverhampton (5f) three days later. Bold show expected off a mark 5lb higher than for that Chelmsford success.

Form: 647-312

Something Lucky^v¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 78| CD

6/1

Slowly away when finishing behind Acclaim The Nation in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time out. Likely more needed than he's shown of late if he is to take this contest.

Form: 37-5575

Spring Romance²¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: D K Ivory| OR: 77| BF| C| D

15/8

Yet to finish out of the first two in five AW starts. Decent second over 6f at Wolverhampton in July and is looking for his third course win dropping in distance on his return from a break.

Form: 211142-

It's All A Joke^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 74| BF| CD

4/1

Good effort in finishing 3L fourth to Joegogo over 5f at Chelmsford last time out. Previously finished third at Wolverhampton (5f) and looks likely to run his race once more.

Form: 201-834

Mont Kiara¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Dow| OR: 73

14/1

Victorious once from six AW starts with that success coming when dead-heating over 6f at Kempton a month ago. Struggled off this 1lb higher mark over the same trip here last time out and more needed down in distance.

Form: 7838-19

Look Surprised²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: R A Teal| OR: 66| D

14/1

Fair effort when seventh under an apprentice rider over this trip at Wolverhampton last month. Returning from a break that day and more needed on this occasion.

Form: 13735-7

Forecasts

Spring Romance (15/8), Joegogo (9/4), It's All A Joke (4/1), Something Lucky (6/1), Mont Kiara (14/1), Look Surprised (14/1)

SPRING ROMANCE has a good record on this surface and he can register his third victory here and his first over this distance by taking this small field handicap. The selection ran well when placed last time and can see off his rivals here with the in form Joegogo looking most likely to claim second under top weight while third place can go the way of It's All A Joke who ran well when placed on his penultimate start.
