11/8

Twice a winner on turf including by 4L over 1m2f at Haydock (good) last month. Decent effort when fourth over the same distance at Sandown (good) last time out and is interesting stepping up in distance.

Form: 96-1214

7/1

Completed a Brighton double with victory over this trip on good-to-firm ground in June. Finished a good neck second upped to 1m5f on turf here earlier this month and is looking for a first AW success.

Edmond Dantes²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 71

5/1

Successful in a soft ground 1m2f handicap at Goodwood in June. Disappointing on two subsequent starts however and it'll be interesting to see how he fares upped in trip.

Form: 67-2176

Allocator⁷

10/1

Placed twice from three AW starts earlier this year most recently over this C&D in a novice contest in March. Struggled in two turf starts since being gelded and is likely to appreciate the return to this surface.

20/1

Good second in a heavy ground 1m2f handicap at Yarmouth when wearing tongue tie and eye-shield (eye-shield absent here) in June. Well beaten on good-to-soft ground later that month however. Others make more appeal following a break.

12/1

Finished third in a 1m2f novice race at Chelmsford last November. Struggled on stable and handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, heavy) in June and is worth a check in the market on return to the AW.

Form: 003-5

Forecasts

Dreamweaver (11/8), Dame Freya Stark (7/4), Edmond Dantes (5/1), Oliver Hardy (7/1), Allocator (10/1), Sea Battle (12/1), Bolt N Brown (20/1)

DAME FREYA STARK shaped as if this extra distance would suit when winning last time out and she can complete a double by landing this competitive looking three-year-old handicap. Second place can go the way of top weight Dreamweaver who is a dual winner on turf while Allocator can claim third on his return to this surface.
