Zac Brown^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: David Egan| T: C Wallis| OR: 71| CD

5/2

Two wins this season taken career tally to 12 and only 1lb higher than last turf score at Salisbury with his mark 10lb lower than that he races with on AW. Highly respected here and bold bid fully expected.

Form: 314715

Wiff Waff²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: C Gordon| OR: 63| D

7/1

Without a win in 11 runs this season and his consistency has taken a bit of a nosedive of late. Never looked like threatening in his last four starts, and recent Newbury (6f; good to firm) effort was most disappointing. Plenty to prove.

Form: 286878

Red Stripes^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 55| D

3/1

Nine-time AW winner been in consistent form but 0-33 on turf and would be hard therefore to recommend him with any real confidence.

Form: 363532

Broughton Excels¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: S C Williams| OR: 52| D

3/1

Kempton AW winner showed comparable level of form back on turf latest when fourth of eight at Yarmouth over this trip. Gets 1lb back and has each-way claims.

Form: 0/5125-4

Flowing Clarets⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Liam Jones| T: J J Bridger| OR: 48| D

8/1

All six wins come on turf so her close third at Lingfield latest was positive after a string of poor efforts. Could easily build on that to make another bold bid here and is a respected contender.

Forecasts

Zac Brown (5/2), Red Stripes (3/1), Broughton Excels (3/1), Toni's A Star (5/1), Major Pusey (6/1), Wiff Waff (7/1), Firenze Rosa (8/1), Flowing Clarets (8/1), Mister Trader (8/1)

This looks a fine opportunity for ZAC BROWN in quite an ordinary contest with his 10lb lower turf rating one he cans surely take advantage of. Dangers are on the face of it few and far between but Irish raider Mister Trader is an intriguing contender. Broughton Excels and Toni's A Star are best of the rest.
