Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 67| CD

7/2

Hit and miss sort did win here at two but failed to beat a rival last time at the course two starts back. To be fair that was over 1m and perhaps 7f is as far as he needs. Possibilities in a weak contest if on a going day.

Altar Boy¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Shariq Mohd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 66

33/1

Twice placed in Lingfield AW novices which led to him going off as short as 5/4 for his turf debut at Salisbury in a claimer latest. Completely tailed off there and dead-last but back on AW he could bounce back.

Form: 4-73366

Alabama Dreaming^v¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 65

9/2

Remains unplaced in five starts but beaten 2½L into sixth and fifth respectively in last two starts at Leicester and Chelmsford; the latest after three months off. Found a real chance here and first place should be minimum expectation.

Form: 54-665

Savitar²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 62

2/1

Struggled with combinatiomn of return to turf and 4lb rise when disappointing at Epsom latest after gaining first ever win in a 1m Lingfield handicap the time before. Back on this surface however he ought to be in the mix.

Crackin Dream^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 63

11/2

½L third in a Yarmouth maiden handicap over this trip in July would entitle him to have leading claims although was somewhat below par since at Chelmsford over 6f. Could bounce back over 7f and in cheekpieces.

Magwadiri¹²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 60| D

40/1

Made the most of a good opportunity last time winning a weak 7f seller at Redcar to open his account for this yard. Now back into handicap company he will have to find something extra having been beaten off marks like this before; has some quirks.

Form: 470-801

Sinfonietta³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 60

80/1

Hasn't won since April 2016 but lightly raced over the last two season. He's dropped to an attractive mark but three starts this year have been poor at best and he makes very limited appeal now.

Form: 080-000

Greybychoice²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 60

16/1

Only win came in a walk over and he refused to race at Wolverhampton in July. Ran one of his better races after a break since at Chelmsford but starting issue marks him down as highly risky.

Garth Rockett^p,t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: M Murphy| OR: 56| D

12/1

Fallen to an attractive mark now but only made the frame once since joining this yard although that was as recently as mid-August. Below that level since however but does appreciate this surface.

Hollander^p,t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 50

25/1

Ran reasonably well here three starts back but has since ran stinkers at Nottingham and Southwell and given he's placed just once in eight starts since joining this yard he's best avoided.

Form: 987400

Secret Glance¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Wintle| OR: 45| D

80/1

Over three years since his last win and on old form he would be thrown in here although racing from 4lb out of the handicap negates some of that advantage and his overall form recently is very ordinary.

Forecasts

Savitar (2/1), Indian Sounds (7/2), Alabama Dreaming (9/2), Crackin Dream (11/2), Garth Rockett (12/1), Dreaming Of Paris (14/1), Greybychoice (16/1), Hollander (25/1), Yfenni (25/1), Altar Boy (33/1), Magwadiri (40/1), Secret Glance (80/1), Sinfonietta (80/1)

In a really weak contest the best bet looks to be ALABAMA DREAMING despite the fact that George Scott's filly has never made the frame. She ran well after a layoff at Chelmsford latest and would need only minimal improvement from that to go close here. Also among the more likely types are Crackin Dream who should be better suited back over 7f than when always struggling back at 6f latest and Savitar who is the only remotely recent winner in the contest.
