Overpriced Mixer³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 79

7/4

Broke his maiden at Thirsk (1m) last time and that came after a couple of near misses where he was beaten by just a head on both occasions. He will need to concede weight all round here but remains one for the shortlist.

Form: 7221

(7)

Abenakian^b1⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

66/1

Has failed to beat a single horse in his two runs so far, including on his latest outing at Yarmouth (7f) in a five runner contest. Will wear blinkers for the first time here on his AW debut. Needs to improve.

Form: 05

Diamond Falls

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs A J Perrett

16/1

Alhebayeb gelding who was foaled on March 28 and cost €8,000 as a yearling. He is a half-brother to German Bright who won over 7f as a two-year-old and 1m winner Hawridge Glory. Likely type on debut.

Lenny The Lion²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs L Pearce

100/1

Had just one rival behind him on his debut at Chelmsford (7f) in an 11 runner contest after going off at 100/1. He was always at the rear of the field so he needs to take a big stride forward this time around.

Form: 0

Lyricist Voice⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti

2/1

Improved on his debut run at Newcastle (7f) to finish second of eight last time over this C&D, beaten by just a nose. He has a great chance of going one place better here on his return to this C&D.

Form: 52

(2)

Opine²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell

40/1

Has made two appearances at this track where he has been a long way down the field on both occasions. He was seventh of nine last time over this C&D. Needs to improve in order to be competitive.

Form: 67

(10)

Stealth Command

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: M McGrath

66/1

War Command gelding who was foaled on March 23 and cost 7,000 gns as a foal. He is a half-brother to 7f winner Headscarf. His dam ran twice in France without success. Best to watch on debut.

Form:

(1)

Berkshire Philly

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

14/1

Roderick O'Connor filly who was foaled on February 26. Her dam was successful over 1m and is out of 1m winner Salim Toto. Likely to improve with experience on her side. Others appeal more here.

Form:

(8)

Centrifuge

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Blanshard

50/1

G Force filly who was foaled on February 15 and cost 800 gns as a two-year-old. Is a half-sister to 6f winner Kennocha. Market likely to speak volumes about her chances of success on opening start.

Form:

(5)

Enchantee

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: Sir M Todd

33/1

Gale Force Ten filly who was foaled on May 6 and cost 17,000 gns as a two-year-old. Her dam was a winner as a two-year-old. She is a half-sister to Duca Valentinos who won over 7f. Best to watch.

Form:

(6)

I Had A Dream⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover| OR: 67

6/1

Has shown some promise in her three racecourse appearances so far, particularly last time at Haydock (7f) where she finished second of nine. This is her first attempt on the AW. One to consider.

Form: 032

(4)

Liberty Filly¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

9/1

Has featured twice without making a big impression. She was ninth of 12 over this C&D on her debut. Her next appearance was then at Beverley (7f) where she was last of three runners. Others are preferred.

Form: 93

Forecasts

Overpriced Mixer (7/4), Lyricist Voice (2/1), I Had A Dream (6/1), Liberty Filly (9/1), Berkshire Philly (14/1), Diamond Falls (16/1), Enchantee (33/1), Opine (40/1), Centrifuge (50/1), Stealth Command (66/1), Abenakian (66/1), Lenny The Lion (100/1)

LYRICIST VOICE just failed on his attempt to go through the field in the closing stages of his contest last time over this C&D, finishing a neck behind the winner. He remains open to improvement so take him to break his maiden at the third attempt. I Had A Dream has produced some solid form so far without success so she can be expected to be in contention at the finish, while Overpriced Mixer does have to give weight to all of her rivals in this race but she still should go close to following up.
