25/1

Three-time C&D winner but only eighth of 10 in handicap here (14f) 19 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Mackie| OR: 65

11/2

Cheekpieces on first time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 66/1) 11 days ago. Makes fibresand debut. Tom Marquand a positive booking.

Form: 6416-07

Stone Mason²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 64

7/2

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Chelmsford (10f) last month. Not in the same form at Nottingham since but much better expected back on AW.

Form: 852510

Notation³⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70

10/3

Reached frame in 2 turf maidens around 1m last autumn. It's take a long time to get her back but she's bred for this sort of trip and is a very interesting runner. Market support likely significant.

Form: 43-

Cheap Jack¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Gray| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 60| CD

5/1

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap over C&D 12 days ago by ½ length from reopposing Mr Carbonator, keeping on well. Likely to remain competitive after only 2 lb rise.

10/3

Course winner. Another good effort here when ½-length second of 11 to Cheap Jack 12 days ago but his losing run goes back to January 2018. Cheekpieces back on.

Forecasts

Notation (10/3), Mr Carbonator (10/3), Stone Mason (7/2), Cheap Jack (5/1), Hermocrates (11/2), Cafe Milano (12/1), Break The Silence (16/1), Going Native (25/1)

STONE MASON bombed out on turf last time but had scored easily on AW prior to that and is very much unexposed granted this sort of test on an artificial surface. Recent C&D 1-2 Cheap Jack and Mr Carbonator ought to figure again, while a market move for the returning Notation would also bring her very much into the reckoning.
