Beauvais⁵¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: George Wood| T: S bin Suroor| BF

5/1

Followed up a ½L debut success over 1m3f at Ripon (good-to-firm) in May last year with a second place finish at Pontefract (1m4f, good-to-firm) the following month. One to note for top connections on return from an absence.

Form: 12-

Dubai Future¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S bin Suroor

1/1

Built on a promising second at Haydock (1m, good-to-firm) on debut in July when winning by ½L at Windsor (1m2f, good-to-firm) later that month. Shapes as if this step up in distance will suit.

Form: 21

Border Warrior²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: H Candy

100/1

Well held in both starts so far including when seventh over this C&D last month. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Form: 0-7

Tinkerbird²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: E Stanford

150/1

Held up when finishing a well beaten last of 11 over C&D on debut last month. Others hold stronger claims on this occasion.

Casual Reply²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton| BF

2/1

Finished runner-up on both starts to date including when beaten a neck over an extneded 1m5f at Chelmsford last month. Previously placed over 1m3f on debut at this venue and drop in distance no issue in this contest.

Form: 22

Ela Katrina¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: R Varian

25/1

Stepped up on debut effort when finishing 10L seventh over 1m2f at Chelmsford in July. Unraced since and more needed if she is to take this event.

Form: 67

King Power²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 74| BF

12/1

Listed-placed in the spring but has disappointed since including when finishing 1¼L last of three having been sent off odds-on favourite at Chelmsford in August. Return to the AW a positive following a heavy defeat on soft ground last time out.

Forecasts

Dubai Future (1/1), Casual Reply (2/1), Beauvais (5/1), King Power (12/1), Ela Katrina (25/1), Furia D'Oudairies (33/1), Border Warrior (100/1), Tinkerbird (150/1)

CASUAL REPLY can build on two promising second place finishes by breaking her maiden in the opening novice race. The filly can get the better of the Godolphin pair with preference in the battle for second place for Dubai Future who was a winner earlier this year while Beauvais, conceding weight to all of his rivals can finish third.
