3/1

11/4, career best when winning 10-runner C&D handicap (AW) 9 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Penalty demands more but she's still respected.

Form: 88-8831

28/1

15¾ lengths last of 13 to Miss Sligo in handicap here (1¼m, AW, 18/1) 22 days ago. Will need to leave that well behind to play a part.

(10)

(2)

Henley Park^t²²

22/1

Best effort this term when 3¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Miss Sligo here (1¼m, AW) 22 days ago, never nearer. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 854-694

(5)

Polar Ice¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 54

9/4

Unreliable type but he didn't do much wrong when a close second of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (1½m, good) 13 days ago. Player with a repeat.

Form: 544662

Barbara Ann³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P J McBride| OR: 52

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Yarmouth (11.5f, firm) 34 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Less exposed than a lot of these.

Form: 8-9753

(4)

Aboard The Beagle¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 52

80/1

Modest maiden. Second in seller last month but last of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (1½m, good) since. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive.

Form: 98529

(13)

Kalash Princess^p1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R A Teal| OR: 50

66/1

Poor form. 66/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago. Up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on first time. Early days but improvement needed.

Form: 8480

(8)

Vive La Danse^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J G Portman| OR: 48

9/2

Good second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) 16 days ago, pulling a long way clear of the remainder. Cheekpieces added. Good shout if he can reproduce that form on AW.

Form: 9-59532

Forecasts

Polar Ice (9/4), Sundayinmay (3/1), Vive La Danse (9/2), Miss Sligo (11/2), Savitar (11/1), Barbara Ann (12/1), Henley Park (22/1), Intoxication (25/1), Clooney (28/1), Gravity Wave (40/1), Noafence (40/1), Gavin (50/1), Kalash Princess (66/1), Aboard The Beagle (80/1)

VIVE LA DANSE faces contrasting conditions compared to his last 2 placed efforts in the mud at Windsor but there's a race in him off his basement mark if he can transfer that sort of form over to AW. Miss Sligo has had a good spell of late and heads the dangers along with Polar Ice and last week's C&D winner Sundayinmay.
