Steelriver³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Herrington| OR: 79| CD

12/1

A C&D winner who has been successful on four occasions this year. Could only finish fifth of seven last time at Chelsmford (6f). Needs a career best to win off this mark but can not be ignored given his form in 2019.

Form: 112135

Busby^p⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 78| D

10/1

Has a good record on Polytrack with three wins from nine starts. This is his first attempt at Tapeta. Could only finish sixth of 10 last time at Chelmsford (6f). Should come on for latest run. One to watch.

Form: 1333-16

Born To Finish^p⁴⁸

22/1

Multiple-winner on the AW including over this C&D. Struggled on his last start on turf, with his most recent effort coming at Brighton (6f) where he was sixth of seven. Has had a wind-op since then. Improvement expected. One to watch.

Form: 137-466

With Caution¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tate| OR: 81| CD

11/2

A C&D winner who showed a lot of promise early in her career with victories coming on her opening two starts. Has been unable to transfer her form across to turf. Will appreciate the return to Tapeta. Leading contender.

Form: 112344

Cappananty Con¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: C Wallis| OR: 75| CD

9/1

Has had four wins at this track, two of which have come over this C&D so he clearly enjoys it here. Was not too far away last time here when fourth of six over this distance. Each-way claims today off a 1lb lower mark.

Form: 141234

Zapper Cass^v¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 73| C| D

16/1

His last win came at this track over the slightly shorter trip of 5f back in April. Has been successful over 6f before though in 2019. Was third of 11 on his latest start at Chester (5f) where he was staying on well. One to consider.

Form: 694273

Black Friday²⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 73

12/1

Still a maiden after eight races but went close on his last appearance back in October when second of 10 at Catterick (6f), beaten by just a neck. Remains off the same mark. Will be interesting if there is market support behind him.

Form: 20/0342-

Kamikaze Lord⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler| OR: 77| D

10/1

Lightly-raced colt who broke his maiden at Kempton over 6f last September. Has struggled on his two handicap starts on turf. First run for new yard and opening appearance on Tapeta. Others look more appealing.

Form: 521-00

Wild Edric²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 76| CD

2/1

Won over this C&D on just his second ever start. Has scored at Chester over this distance since then but his form has been poor recently. Was fifth of nine at Chester (5f) two days ago. Has to improve to be in the mix.

Form: 7-40965

(2)

Mendoza^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 76| D

10/1

Broke his maiden over this distance on the AW at Kempton last time where he kept on well to hold on by a neck after going off at 33/1. Up 3lb for his success last time but remains in with a shot of following it up.

Form: 3345-71

Forecasts

Wild Edric (2/1), With Caution (11/2), Cappananty Con (9/1), Busby (10/1), Kamikaze Lord (10/1), Mendoza (10/1), Zac Brown (10/1), Steelriver (12/1), Black Friday (12/1), Zapper Cass (16/1), Born To Finish (22/1)

WITH CAUTION will appreciate the return to the AW, especially here at this track where she is a C&D winner. She remains open to improvement so off this latest mark, she can get back to winning ways. Zapper Cass is a consistent horse on the Tapeta and has won at this track so he should be in contention at the finish, while Mendoza appears to be enjoying the AW surface much more than turf so can be in frame following his maiden success at Kempton last time out.
