2/1

Hard to know what his right trip might be. Failed to stay 1m2f on penultimate start and then stayed on in a slowly run race when tackling this longer trip two weeks ago. His dam was a sprinter so those stamina doubts remain.

Form: 32-7352

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 74

4/1

Looked a bit wayward last time and blinkers now replace cheekpieces. May improve for change of headgear and certainly needs to in order to defy a tough looking mark.

Form: 96-7723

Fragrant Dawn¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: C Hills| OR: 73

9/1

Dam has produced three winners at this trip so connections will be hopeful she can step up on previous form. Quick ground will also be in her favour.

Form: 33-343

11/8

Narrowly failed at Haydock on first attempt at this trip when not helped by rider losing his reins at the finish. Up 3lb but down in grade and deserves to go one better.

Form: 58-5222

33/1

Has been well supported on both starts in handicaps but has failed to deliver. Back up in trip but hard to fancy judged on what he has produced on the track.

Form: 4-5567

Guroor^h³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 70

25/1

Cause for optimism on some of last year's AW form, but she has been below those levels this year. Return to an expected quicker surface may help so worth a look in the market.

STARCZEWSKI looked unlucky in defeat last time and, although the handicapper has taken that into account, he can go one better in a weaker race. Starfighter caught the eye last time but there has to be a stamina doubt if this is run at a true pace. Fragrant Dawn looks a likely improver now stepping up to this trip, whilst Guroor's 2018 form makes her attractively weighted if the going remains quick.
