Jill Rose²²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 58

6/1

Driven out to win at Thirsk in August (6f, soft); has run some fair races in defeat since then (mainly at Southwell) and slowly dropping down the handicap; chances.

Seneca Chief^h¹²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Adam J McNamara| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 55| D

20/1

Returned from lengthy absence to finish last of 11 over course and distance in February; clearly needed that run and has had training problems; hard to recommend unless notable market support.

Form: 50124/0

Q Twenty Boy³⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Tate| T: M D I Usher| OR: 55

12/1

Nine-race maiden; showed glimpses of form in 2018 but has been off the track since disappointing at Haydock in July last year; hard to get too excited about given poor form on this surface in the past

Form: 3234/68-

House Deposit^t²⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll| OR: 55

9/2

Had a productive 2018 winning two out of four starts; without success since then and connections turn to the AW for the first time; probably best watched but not totally out of it.

Form: 557846-

Awsaaf^h⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: M Wigham| OR: 55| CD

3/1

Dual course and distance winner but has hardly beaten a rival home in his last four starts and has plenty of questions to answer at present.

Form: 02-0979

Blackcurrent^p¹³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: A D Brown| OR: 51| BF

11/2

14-race maiden who continues to knock firmly at the door; just held when beaten a neck over course and distance in January but needs to bounce back from poor run on latest outing at Newcastle; chance on best of form, however.

Form: 235-320

(6)

Swell Song²⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 50

15/2

Remains a maiden after ten starts, however, she came very close to her opening success on penultimate start over course and distance where she was second of 10 runners; disappointed when last seen at Kempton.

Furni Factors^b²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 45| DWS

13/2

Has lost his way since winning a low grade handicap on the AW at Newcastle in March 2019; hard to fancy at present though recent wind surgery may have helped.

Form: 079098-

Teepee Time^b¹⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Nathan Evans| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45| CD

16/1

Didn't manage to win in a mixed 2019 but was second twice.; has run well at this track in the past and now looks reasonably handicapped (albeit 1lb out of it); one to consider.

Forecasts

One One Seven (11/4), Awsaaf (3/1), House Deposit (9/2), Blackcurrent (11/2), Valentino Sunrise (11/2), Jill Rose (6/1), Furni Factors (13/2), Swell Song (15/2), Q Twenty Boy (12/1), Teepee Time (16/1), Seneca Chief (20/1)

TEEPEE TIME has to race from slightly out of the handicap but showed enough form last season including at this track to suggest he is capable of landing this contest which lacks any strength in depth.. A repeat of either of her last two course and distance performances will give her every chance. House Deposit is an interesting runner on his debut for new connections who may have identified he will take to the AW and while probably best watched, he may run well at a fair price. Blackcurrent is still a maiden but has reserved his best performances for this track and may be capable of finally getting off the mark.
