Green Door^b⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 75| D

4/1

Very smart in his pomp but this around his level these days. Already gained a win and two places in 2020 all over 5f on AW. First ever race on this surface today but may enjoy it given penchant for soft ground so could be the answer today.

Form: 638-132

Young Tiger^h¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: T P Tate| OR: 70| CD

5/1

Seven-year-old having a grand time of it in winning three times since October, two of those over C&D. Back-to-back seconds here coming into this show he remains on a good mark so bold bid fully expected.

Form: 5123-22

Big Time Maybe^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Nicola Currie| T: M J Attwater| OR: 69| CD

10/1

May C&D win one of three 2019 scores. Fourth here latest slightly better effort than subdued return but still less compelling than rivals here.

Form: 2156-64

Archimedes^p,t¹³⁴

25/1

11-time winner had a deserved break coming into this and had wind op during that. Mark within range but was out of form when last seen.

Moveonup^v²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 65| CD

1/1

Has won two of his last four, the first at Chelmsford (5f) and the latest over C&D, when 13lb lower last month. Went very close again at Chelmsford last time, so is progressing, but more needed now up at this level.

Form: 8-13123

Red Stripes^b⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 59| BF| CD

7/1

Still going strong after 132 races in which he's amassed 12 wins and a further 44 places. Won here in January and made the frame in three subsequent starts all over C&D. Hard to keep him out of it here too.

None of these runners can be completely dismissed but the selection goes to Fibresand newcomer GREEN DOOR who has always enjoyed soft ground and latterly in his career AW surfaces. This surface which is the closest to soft ground may then be right up his street and he's certainly in good enough form to strike if the suspicion is correct. Young Tiger and Red Stripes are both in terrific form at the course and they rate big dangers.
