King Robert^t1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 76| C| D

16/1

Won here over 6f in the past although 5f probably optimal. Handicap sliding after 10 race losing run but latest effort still gives him more to do.

Form: 0479-95

(4)

Dynamo Walt²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D Shaw| OR: 73| CD

6/1

Triple C&D winner who has 14 AW successes overall. Not quite the force of old but current mark looks about spot on and he ought to be involved in the finish.

Form: 7641-34

(6)

Tabaahy¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 71| CD

4/1

2-2 over C&D with latest win pretty comfortable. Upped 6lb but this relatively lightly raced five-year-old is probably still improving and he looks the one they all have to beat here.

Form: 906-731

(3)

Mutabaahy⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 67| CD

9/2

Won three times here including last two visits which were both won over C&D. 8lb higher than last win and rather struggled last time but back at favourite venue here he isn't ruled out.

Form: 80131-0

(8)

Becker³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 66| CD

7/2

C&D winner on penultimate start. Very good second when poorly drawn at Kempton (5f) last time out and remains on a good mark to go well once again.

Form: 46581-2

(2)

Look Surprised¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Watson| T: R A Teal| OR: 65| D

12/1

In decent form last summer but three recent AW runs dampen enthusiasm and his last of six at Chelmsford good evidence of that.

Form: 12P57-6

(7)

Creek Harbour¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Wintle| OR: 62| C

11/1

Three-time AW winner although all over further. C&D second to Becker in December his best recent effort but below par twice since and now changed hands. Jockey booking a big plus.

Form: 5092-96

(1)

Jorvik Prince¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 62| CD

11/2

Prolific AW winner, all on either Chelmsford's Polytrack or here on Tapeta. Below par on Southwell's Fibresand latest but won here the time before and certainly among the more likely sorts today.

Form: 70-1516

Forecasts

Becker (7/2), Tabaahy (4/1), Mutabaahy (9/2), Jorvik Prince (11/2), Dynamo Walt (6/1), Creek Harbour (11/1), Look Surprised (12/1), King Robert (16/1)

After winning well here last time out TABAAHY looks the one to side with as he appears progressive and his unbeaten C&D record is obviously a major plus. Both Becker and Jorvik Prince won on their last visits to this track and they rate the biggest threats.
