Unforgiving Minute¹⁹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: S Curran| OR: 83| BF| C| D

3/1

Boasts a fine strike-rate on the AW (10-36) and has won four times in this grade over 7f/1m, including here. Well held when last sighted in May; possibly will need this run now starting for new connections. Market should guide.

Form: 1-41256

Azzeccagarbugli^p⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 78| D

7/4

17-race maiden, does best on artificial surfaces and has made the frame over C&D and run well at Kempton (7f) lately; should have a leading say in this grade.

First Voyage^h1,t1⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

20/1

Hasn't beaten a rival in two starts back after 680-day absence, though soft ground at Nottingham last time ensures that run is forgiven. Had previously shown some bite over 1m2f here and takes class-drop now.

Form: 13U4/65

Shady Mccoy²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 83

7/4

Nine-time turf winner (not since October 2017) remains 0-6 on the AW, but went close in 7f claimer here last month, staying on well to the line. Would have strong claims with repeat showing over this trip.

Mochalov¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 59| C

10/1

Landed a low-grade Lingfield handicap over 7f in August but well held since, latest when 6L third of 12 over this C&D 19 days ago. Up against it on these terms to match that placing.

Song Of Summer^p,t¹⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 44

66/1

Her sole success came at Doncaster over 6f in her novice campaign, with consistency proving hard to find since. Readily opposed on these terms.

Forecasts

Azzeccagarbugli (7/4), Shady Mccoy (7/4), Al Qahwa (7/4), Unforgiving Minute (3/1), Mochalov (10/1), First Voyage (20/1), Song Of Summer (66/1)

This is a very presentable chance for Al Qahwa to end his losing sequence and he's clearly got leading claims on these terms. He'll have to prove himself on the surface however and would be hard enough to trust at short odds. The returning Unforgiving Minute is respected and any money coming would be noted but perhaps SHADY MCCOY will gain a first AW success having stayed on well in a claimer over 7f at this track last time out.
