Perfecimperfection⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 71| D

8/1

Career-best when opening account at Chelmsford in August over this trip, not as good next time but better effort since over 1m at Kempton. Back from a break and could go well.

Form: 424195-

Sing Out Loud³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: M Madgwick| OR: 70

16/1

Last win came over 1m1f in Goodwood handicap in May 2018. Unable to sparkle in 2019 efforts but has plummeted in ratings if able to find some form.

Form: 3/08857-

Rakematiz³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 70| CD

25/1

Three-time AW scorer, including over this C&D in November 2018. Poor show at Chelmsford six weeks ago when last spotted, probably best watched at the moment.

Form: 167790-

Crimewave^v³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 69

5/2

14-race maiden, has gone close at Kempton over a mile this winter but yet to truly signal this longer trip is going to be the way forward.

Form: 554253-

Voi^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 68| D

7/1

Mare is a winner over this trip and has shown some form in three AW runs since a wind operation after summer turf campaign. Eased 3lb in the ratings for this and entitled to be competitive.

Lee Roy²⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 68

16/1

Winner of Class 6 contest over 1m at Kempton in March last year; rated 66 at the time. Has only run once since (well held on turf in May) and unconvincing over this trip on sole previous attempt.

Form: 74/3210-

Elhafei^v⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 65

12/1

14-race maiden, knocked at the door on turf last summer a few times but form nosedived in three October runs on the AW. Back from a break and stays this trip if finding some form again.

Form: 332808-

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 61| D

11/2

Ex-Ger Lyons inmate in Ireland; winner over this trip at Chelmsford in October and only beaten ¾L over C&D five days ago in Class 6 company. Mark unchanged but this is tougher on paper.

Form: 319624-

Vipin²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 55| BF

14/1

Maiden, unable to justify favouritism last month in Wolverhampton selling handicap but does have some form over this longer trip.

Form: 426548-

Forecasts

Crimewave (5/2), Capriolette (7/2), Dreamboat Dave (11/2), Voi (7/1), Perfecimperfection (8/1), Elhafei (12/1), Vipin (14/1), Sing Out Loud (16/1), Lee Roy (16/1), Rakematiz (25/1)

First-time cheekpieces are tried on previous course winner CAPRIOLETTE here. Ed Walker's charge has been knocking on the door of late and drops in grade now, earning her the nod over Voi and Dreamboat Dave in the opener.
