14/1

Plenty of promise having placed in five of her nine starts, down the field when upped to 1m3f here in September in higher grade; the mare has run well fresh before and should give a solid account.

14/1

26 starts and more than three years since he last tasted success; ran well at times around here last year and not discounted with mark eased another 2lb now.

Thechildren'strust⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 75

25/1

Two-time turf winner is 0-10 on artificial surfaces and yet to fully support theory he wants this trip (wins at 6f/1m); well held at Lingfield in February and more required.

Form: 46624-6

Wimpole Hall^p¹¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: W Jarvis| OR: 75| C| D

9/1

Four-time winner on the AW, latest at Chelmsford over 1m2f in November; on a workable mark if bringing his A-game here.

Form: 7216-53

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: O Murphy| OR: 74WS

3/1

Twice won over hurdles in May 2019 after joining this yard from Ireland though then disappointed in Listed Market Rasen contest. Has undergone a wind operation during off-season and fairly treated back on the level.

Scofflaw^v⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Bentley| T: P D Evans| OR: 74| D

14/1

Busy sort, scored five wins during 2019 with three of those on the AW. Third in Wolverhampton claimer in March; capable of being involved if in the mood.

Form: 8-56673

Rotherwick^b¹²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P & O Cole| OR: 74| D

14/1

All six career wins have been on turf but has handled synthetic surfaces well enough in 12 attempts; just missed out on place money having started at 20-1 here over 1m4f in February.

Form: 450-304

Olympic Conqueror¹²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 74| C| D

7/2

Lightly-raced gelding, gained first AW win at third attempt when just holding on upped to 1m4f here in February. Just 2lb higher and could be more to come with this trip to suit.

Form: 23158-1

Lexington Law^v⁹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 73| C

15/2

Turf claimer winner last July but form has gone wayward since. Can't be discounted with class-drop and ease in the ratings here. Trainer also runs Junderstand.

Form: 215-763

Sootability²²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

14/1

Filly won a weak good-to-soft handicap at Carlisle over 1m in August last year; has gone well since in three runs including over 1m2f at Epsom (good). Makes AW debut here.

80/1

Experienced campaigner hasn't won on AW since September 2015 success over 1m3f here; best of last year's form leaves him with work to do on return to the Polytrack.

Form: 551P95-

Dawry¹⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: H Main| OR: 72

9/1

Ex-Dermot Weld inmate was third over 1m here on handicap debut in February when adopting usual front running tactics. Still low-mileage and could improve back up in distance.

Form: 6422-3

Forecasts

St Gallen (3/1), Olympic Conqueror (7/2), Lexington Law (15/2), Wimpole Hall (9/1), Dawry (9/1), Noble Gift (14/1), Sootability (14/1), Junderstand (14/1), Rotherwick (14/1), Scofflaw (14/1), Thechildren'strust (25/1), Biotic (80/1)

February's course winner Olympic Conqueror showed a likeable attitude to hold on that day and a 2lb rise is far from insurmountable now. Frontrunner Dawry should improve for this longer trip and the ex-Dermot Weld inmate has scope for better on just a second start in handicap company. It might prove that ST GALLEN is nicely treated off a mark of 74 back on the Flat given he twice won over timber last year after joining Olly Murphy. He has the champion jockey on board on his first outing after a wind op and gets the vote.
