Well held in two starts since returning from a break most recently when seventh over an extended 1m3f at Bath (soft) two weeks ago. Looking for a first victory on the AW at the eighth time of asking.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 70

8/1

Successful over 1m on good ground at Newmarket in June. Decent efforts in defeat since and is interesting in first time cheekpieces having finished 4L fifth over this trip at Chelmsford last time out.

Form: 314325

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan| T: P Charalambous| OR: 70

14/1

Improving with racing and ran well to finish runner-up in a 1m2f maiden at Chelmsford last time out. Poorly drawn for his handicap debut however.

Form: 442

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 70| CD

22/1

Tangramm^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Tate| T: D K Ivory| OR: 66| CD

10/1

C&D winner finished a good fourth to Contrast over this trip here on his penultimate start. Struggled on soft turf last time and better expected on his return to the AW.

Form: 653840

Iron Mike^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 69

4/1

Put a below par effort behind him when finishing 1½L third in a 1m4f handicap on the AW at Wolverhampton on his most recent outing. One to note racing off the same mark dropping back in distance.

Form: 941263

Canasta²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 68

4/1

Broke her maiden when victorious in a handicap over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last time out. Remains open to improvement and is one for the shortlist despite a 6lb rise in the weights.

Form: 544331

Narjes^h³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 63| CD

66/1

Well held on each of her last four appearances. Handicap mark is falling as a result and she is worth a check in the market off a mark 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in January.

Form: 537780

Hindaam³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 66

10/3

Off the mark at the first time of asking in handicap company when winning over 1m at Chelmsford just over a month ago. Races off a 3lb higher mark here and shapes as if a step up in distance will suit.

Form: 0451

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 66| BF| D

14/1

Forecasts

Hindaam (10/3), Iron Mike (4/1), Canasta (4/1), Contrast (9/2), Angel's Whisper (8/1), Tangramm (10/1), Dreamboat Dave (11/1), The Game Is On (14/1), Exmoor Beast (14/1), Jumping Jack (16/1), Kvetuschka (22/1), Perfect Grace (25/1), Tiar Na Nog (33/1), Narjes (66/1)

HINDAAM, a winner on handicap debut last time out looks likely to appreciate this step up in trip and she can complete a double with victory in this competitive looking handicap. Canasta was a winner last time out over slightly shorter than this trip and she can take second spot ahead of Dreamboat Dave, another to have registered a victory on his most recent start.
