16/1
Unreliable sort. Runner-up at Southwell on penultimate outing but was left poorly placed when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 9/1) 8 days ago. Regular slow starts remain a concern.

10/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (18.4f, 9/2) 19 days ago, well positioned. Hard to say he's been particularly progressive of late but he remains low mileage.

Did well under circumstances when second of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton on penultimate outing but no obvious ecuses when only seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (12.4f) 15 days ago. Back up in trip.

Won 2 of his last 3 starts for Richard Fahey and continued his progress when a good second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 6/1) on yard debut 29 days ago. Going the right way.

Back to form second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 25 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Quercus Robur (11/8), The Dancing Poet (7/2), Smart Boyo (4/1), Freewheelin (8/1), Shadowfax (10/1), Kitten's Dream (16/1), Billy Bathgate (25/1), Misscarlett (125/1)

Verdict

QUERCUS ROBUR continued his progress making his debut for this yard last time and is fancied to notch a third success on AW. The Dancing Poet has dropped below his last winning mark and is respected, as is the low-mileage Shadowfax.
