Kendergarten Kop^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: D Flood| OR: 65| BF

8/1

Winner over 7f here on turf course last month on reappearance, since finished fair second at Chepstow (met interference). Cheekpieces tried here from 4lb higher mark, best form is over shorter.

Form: 5789-12

(13)

Barrsbrook^t1,v⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Bentley| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64

15/2

13-race maiden, twice finished runner-up here early in the year over 1m/1m2f; needs to be forgiven poor turf run at Brighton last month but could well bounce back in first-time visor back around here.

Form: 256-347

(8)

The Warrior^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 63| CD

20/1

Formerly with Aidan O'Brien but out of sorts with this stable. Failed to beat anything home in two most recent starts, including over C&D.

Form: 546705

Takeonefortheteam¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63| BF| D

5/1

Just 3lb higher than when winning at Kempton on the AW over this trip in April, has most held form since on turf and latest Leicester effort easily overlooked (missed break). Booking of Oisin Murphy a positive.

Form: 104428

Your Choice^p¹⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Jones| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 63

20/1

Ran well in 7f novice contest here in March, though hung in the finish enough to lose second spot in the stewards' room. Back from a break and worth a look in this event.

Form: 47253-D

(5)

Arlecchino's Leap^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 63| D

9/1

Six-time winner on the AW circuit, caught the eye with staying on effort at Wolverhampton last time over extended-mile. Eased in ratings and 7lb claimer booked, worth paying attention to.

Form: 055455

(9)

Dependable⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 61

16/1

A maiden after six starts and showed nothing on her seasonal reappearance at Sandown last time out. Looks limited on the evidence available for this AW switch.

Form: 9/7575-9

(10)

Savitar^h⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 61

7/2

Shamardal gelding, formerly trained in Ireland by Jim Bolger. Best effort so far came when dropped to 6f (soft) at Goodwood last month. Back up in trip and remains with time on his side.

Form: 488-752

(4)

Classic Charm¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: D K Ivory| OR: 60| D

11/1

Filly broke her duck on soft going at Nottingham in May over this sort of trip, not the strongest form and she has since run a poor race on Kempton's AW track leaving her with plenty to prove.

Form: 273910

(2)

Mullarkey^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR: 59

7/1

Wins have come over further but this prominent racer has been getting found out late on recently despite running some pleasing races. Not one to dismiss too hastily reverting back to the AW.

Form: 93D526

(3)

Mochalov^e/s¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 57

33/1

Inconsistent but capable on his day on the AW. Win arrived at Chelmsford in February over 7f in low-grade affair off mark of 54. Needs more to add to tally and running poorly of late.

Form: 150709

(7)

Mrs Benson³²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Charles Bishop| T: M Blanshard| OR: 57

18/1

Maiden of 14 races now, couple of recent efforts on turf track here (7f/1m2f) have come with give in the ground and were decidedly poor. Must bounce back, would have a chance from this mark based on January's C&D effort.

Form: 3-37700

(6)

Monsieur Fox²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 56

25/1

11-race maiden now, struggles on turf but best of AW efforts was over this trip at Chelmsford in March. Hard to put a lot of faith in him.

Form: 50-3920

Forecasts

Savitar (7/2), Takeonefortheteam (5/1), Mullarkey (7/1), Barrsbrook (15/2), Kendergarten Kop (8/1), Arlecchino's Leap (9/1), Classic Charm (11/1), Dependable (16/1), Mrs Benson (18/1), The Warrior (20/1), Your Choice (20/1), Monsieur Fox (25/1), Until Midnight (25/1), Mochalov (33/1)

Having caught the eye coming home strongly at Wolverhampton last time, there is a good chance that ARLECCHINO'S LEAP could be on a decent mark to strike for a seventh career AW win with Ellie Mackenzie taking a very useful 7lb off. Takeonefortheteam can be forgiven a poor run at Leicester having missed the break and is respected with Oisin Murphy booked now while Savitar, Mullarkey and Kendergarten Kop merit some consideration.
