Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Knight| OR: 77| D

9/1

Best effort for sometime when beaten a short-head in a Newbury 1m handicap last month behind Tell William. Can give another good account.

Form: 105-582

Crimewave^v²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: W Buick| T: Tom Clover| OR: 75

Not disgraced in a number of starts since racing resumed in June, including a 3L defeat over 7½f in a Beverley handicap last month. First time visor may assist.

Production^p1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 74

17/2

Running well in defeat in a number of starts since racing returned in June. Solid effort over 7f at Newbury last month and possibilities of first-time cheekpieces encouraging more improvement here.

Form: 455-675

Delicate Kiss¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 72| D

16/1

Four-time AW winner who has been placed in six of her 13 turf starts, but remains a maiden on this surface. Well held over C&D last month and appears easy to oppose once again.

Mon Choix⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 72| D

10/11

Off the mark for connections at the seventh time of asking, landing a Windsor handicap on good to firm ground over a similar trip earlier this month off a 6lb lower mark. Can improve in this company.

Form: 05-2361

Stormbomber^p1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Keniry| T: M Madgwick| OR: 69

150/1

Ended a frustrating sequence when scoring at Wolverhampton in October for Ed Walker. Nothing of note in a couple of starts since racing returned last month and others look more convincing.

Form: 321-760

Prize Fighting¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 74

6/1

Gelded son of Sepoy related to a number of winners including Grade 3 UAE 1m scorer. Improved from first start to second at Windsor last month. One to note in the market.

Form: 56

Coverham¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 67

20/1

Something of a Kempton specialist, but got his head in front at Lingfield from a similar mark in June. Pleasing effort at this venue last month over 7f. Appears to have every chance of hitting the frame.

Form: 47-0155

Unresolved²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 69

50/1

Bumped into 2000 Guineas winner Kameko last term and ran well enough when 3L fourth in 1m Wolverhampton maiden on return before a dismal effort at Yarmouth over 1m2f last month. Faces a tough ask in this company.

Form: 85-49

Forecasts

Mon Choix (10/11), Prize Fighting (6/1), Crimewave (13/2), Production (17/2), Kingston Kurrajong (9/1), Quarry Beach (12/1), Delicate Kiss (16/1), Coverham (20/1), Casement (33/1), Unresolved (50/1), Rectory Road (50/1), Stormbomber (150/1)

The Andrew Balding-trained MON CHOIX would not have to improve much on his winning performance at Windsor over a similar trip earlier this month to further his career in this company. The Pivotal gelding won eased down four days ago and can repeat the feat, despite his 6lb penalty, at the expense of Kingston Kurrajong, beaten a short-head at Newbury on latest start last month. Crimewave, for trainer Tom Clover and the Henry Candy-trained Quarry Beach should not be underestimated.
