Dragons Tail^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 81

11/1

Ran well to finish 7L third in a 1m handicap at Sandown (good) on his penultimate start. Disappointing sixth over an extended 7f at Chester (good-to-soft) last time out and is worth a check in the market on AW debut.

Form: 975836

Mainsail Atlantic^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 78

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Danny Redmond⁽⁵⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 74| CD

8/1

Completed a four-timer with victory by a head over 7f here last month. Raised 3lb for that victory and is a leading contender having won over this C&D in June.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 74| CD

22/1

Struggled in three starts since winning over this C&D in May. Races off a mark 5lb higher than for that victory and others appear to hold stronger claims.

Forecasts

Cape Victory (7/2), Fares Poet (7/2), Engrossed (13/2), Mainsail Atlantic (7/1), Street Poet (8/1), Dragons Tail (11/1), Liliofthelamplight (12/1), International Law (16/1), Critical Thinking (20/1), Mr Minerals (20/1), Nezar (22/1)

FARES POET has been running well in defeat of late and he can break his maiden with a victory in this handicap contest. The selection looks capable of getting the better of his rivals here with Street Poet, a multiple winner here this season taken to finish runner-up ahead of Liliofthelamplight who has shown good form on the AW in the past.
