C&D winner who arrives out of sorts and with blinkers now fitted. Not written off if they help, but they really do need to spark a revival.

Scored here over 7f in January, when 9lb higher. Has also since won on turf, from 5lb higher. Well treated if able to get back to something like that form, and can't be ruled out from the inside berth.

C&D scorer last year, when just 1lb lower. Hasn't yet got back to that level of form in 2019, but would have claims if able to reproduce her Kempton run from September.

Stayed on well for a 1m win here in August, when 4lb lower and with Jim Boyle. Another good effort back here over C&D last time, on his debut for this trainer. Entitled to claims from the same mark.

Second in half of her six starts on AW, but yet to break her maiden. Handled the Polytrack at Kempton and not tries this circuit for the first time. Looks a player after going close from this mark at Wolverhampton last time.

Has gone backwards on both runs since her debut, and looks to have been given a tough enough mark to start handicapping from. Would only be of interest if there is significant market support.

Ran well here on turf, although has yet to tackle this surface. Arrives in good form after going close from this mark at Wolverhampton (1m1½f) last time. Cheekpieces could provide a boost. Player.

1-15, although 1-3 on AW, having scored in a minor Wolverhampton handicap (1m1½f) in October, when 4lb lower. Held over 1m4f back there last time, but not ruled out if she can bounce back over shorter.

2/1
C&D scorer in March, when also on today's official BHA mark. Improved on that on his next two starts, but lost his way until a good effort again here last time. Entitled to plenty of respect now in better form.

Multiple winner here from 7f-1m4f and is back on his last winning mark. However, that was the case on his last two starts, when held, so more needed.

18-race maiden. Couldn't write her off on some of her form, but can do based on her last four efforts and from 4lb 'wrong'.

4lb out of the handicap here and easy to see why after being well held in all starts for well over a year now. Wind surgery needs to bring about a transformation.

Forecasts

Subliminal (2/1), Savitar (4/1), Miss Elsa (6/1), Brambledown (7/1), Music Major (8/1), Ballet Red (8/1), Elena (10/1), Admodum (10/1), Settle Petal (16/1), Al Daiha (16/1), Global Wonder (20/1), Black Medick (20/1), River Cafe (50/1), Stay In The Light (66/1)

Verdict

A poor contest where SAVITAR arrives in better form than most, acts here and is taken to score. Several others have a squeak if able to produce one of their better efforts. Those include Black Medick, Settle Petal, Brambledown, and Miss Elsa. The biggest danger to the selection, however, may prove to be Subliminal.
