Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 102| BF| D

5/4

Looked quite smart in 2018 where he was successful twice and ran well at Listed level. Featured just once in 2019, finishing third of 10 at Ripon (1m1f) after going off as the 3/1 favourite. Big player on his return to action.

Silent Attack³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: A W Carroll| OR: 99| C| D

7/2

Has gone close to success on his last two starts. He was second of nine at Chelmsford (7f) on his penultimate appearance. Finished third of eight last time at that same course over 1m, beaten by just ¾L. Must be respected off just a 1lb higher mark.

Goring^v¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 99| CD

7/2

Has prevailed four times over this C&D. He came close to another success on his latest outing as he was he was second of seven over this C&D. He remains off the same mark so he can't be ruled out.

Stay Classy^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Spencer| OR: 89| CD

11/2

A C&D winner who has a good record on the AW surface with two wins from four starts. Her latest success came on her penultimate outing at this course (7f). She was third of seven last time at Wolverhampton (1m½f). One to consider.

Ultimate Avenue^h¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 85

14/1

A winner on turf but yet to score in eight attempts on the AW. He was third of 11 at this track (7f) on his latest appearance where he was staying on strongly at the finish. This step up in trip will help. One for the shortlist.

Forecasts

Red Mist (5/4), Silent Attack (7/2), Goring (7/2), Stay Classy (11/2), Ultimate Avenue (14/1)

RED MIST makes a return to the racecourse here where he should be favoured despite this being his first outing since May. He was successful on his sole appearance on the AW so far and he has the class to maintain his 100% record on this surface. Stay Classy is a C&D winner who was not far away from this mark at Wolverhampton last time out so expect another big run, while Ultimate Avenue was powering home here over 7f on his latest appearance so the extra distance should favour him as he looks for his first AW success.
