Badayel^b1³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado

11/4

Has featured just twice so far where he has come home second on both starts. His last run came at Wolverhampton (7f) where he was ½L away in a 10 runner field. Has been gelded since. Will wear blinkers for the first time. One to consider.

Form: 2/2-

Fujaira King^h1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: S C Williams| OR: 69

3/1

Exposed now as he has had eight runs on the track. He finished second of five over this trip at Southwell on his penultimate outing. Could only finish fourth of five at this course (6f) last time. Will wear a hood here. Can't discount.

Nigel Nott⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock

7/2

Finished third of four runner on his opening start at Chelmsford (6f) back in October, 3¼L off the winner after going off at 14/1. Stepping down in trip on his second appearance on the track. Best to watch for now.

Form: 3-

Dreaming Away¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 73| BF

15/8

Still a maiden after four starts, however, she has finished second on her last three outings, including last time on the AW at Lingfield (6f) in a five runner field when she was the evens favourite. Should build on that run earlier this month.

Form: 62/2-2

Forecasts

Dreaming Away (15/8), Badayel (11/4), Fujaira King (3/1), Nigel Nott (7/2)

DREAMING AWAY has come close to her first win on a number of occasions. She returned to action at Lingfield earlier this month where she finished second over 6f. The Lightly-raced mare can go one place better here and record her opening success on the track. Badayel has done little wrong in his two outings to date and is likely to be the biggest danger as he steps down in trip, while Fujaira King has shown he can be competitive at the business end of the race and that can be the case again in this sprint contest.
