(1)

Chookie Dunedin²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 78| D

9/2

In the form of his life at present and arrives here bidding for his fifth win in six starts having defied a wide draw last time. Showed a good attitude when winning that day and rates as a live player from 3lb higher.

Form: 0151-11

(4)

Tintoretto¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: T Ward| OR: 77

3/1

Back on his last winning handicap mark and his return last time wasn't without promise, despite finishing last of five at Lingfield. Should come on for that first run in 204 days and worth considering.

Form: 15560-5

(8)

Tranchee^p1,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: I Furtado| OR: 76

6/1

Gained a first success when winning (dead-heat) at Southwell in January and bounced back to form with a close second back at that venue last time. Up 2lb but should go well with De Sousa taking over and gets first-time cheekpieces here.

Form: 487-152

(7)

Mr Top Hat¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 75

40/1

Yet to win in 11 AW attempts and while he showed some promise at Lingfield in January, he's failed to build on that in three poor efforts since; probably better over further than this and others make more appeal.

Form: 66-3885

(2)

Barrington^v²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| BF

10/1

Both wins have come on turf and only hit the frame twice in 11 AW outings. Step back up in trip not certain to be in his favour and others make more appeal.

Form: 84-6225

(14)

Pride Of Angels³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 75| D

33/1

Won twice in 2018 but missed most of last season and has disappointed in three starts this winter, including here last time out. On a workable mark if she can bounce back but wide draw not ideal.

Form: 216/9-36

(6)

Youkan^p¹²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: W S Kittow| OR: 75

16/1

On a losing run since 2018 but showed promise last time out when third of eight here; shaped like a step up in trip could suit that day and dropped another 2lb but absence to overcome on return here.

Form: 259703-

(10)

Storm Melody¹⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: A Stronge| OR: 75| D

66/1

13lb above his last winning AW mark. Won three turf handicaps in the summer but entitled to need the run on return.

Form: 101155-

(3)

Fujaira King^t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 71| CD

12/1

Off the mark at the 10th attempt last time out over C&D; 6lb higher on debut for new yard and while this is tougher, he can't be ruled out if his new trainer has found the key to him.

Form: 262-441

(9)

Oloroso¹⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 70| BF| CD

9/1

C&D winner on handicap debut; back on that last winning mark here but hasn't been in the kind of form in which he could be recommended in a race this competitive; yard in form at least.

Form: 542570-

(11)

Coverham¹⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Ryan Tate| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 70| CD

20/1

Four-time C&D winner who is back on his last winning handicap mark; lost his way towards the back end of last season and makes his return here but tends to need his first run after an absence; drawn wide.

Form: 334547-

(5)

Broughtons Flare²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: P J McBride| OR: 68| CD

13/2

Returned to form when getting his head back in front over C&D last time out; only 3lb higher here and has gone close off similar marks in the past.

Form: 259-571

Forecasts

Tintoretto (3/1), Chookie Dunedin (9/2), Tranchee (6/1), Broughtons Flare (13/2), Oloroso (9/1), Barrington (10/1), Atletico (10/1), Fujaira King (12/1), Youkan (16/1), Al Asef (16/1), Coverham (20/1), Pride Of Angels (33/1), Mr Top Hat (40/1), Storm Melody (66/1)

A competitive event and the trio at the top of the weights may have it between them. Chookie Dunedin is an obvious threat to all given the run he's on at present but it might be worth taking a chance on TRANCHEE who gets first-time headgear and Silvestre De Sousa up for the first time. Tintoretto is back on his last winning mark and should come on for his return last time.
