Course winner who completed a hat-trick at Lingfield in April. Last of 7 in handicap at this course (12f, 9/1) 19 days ago though he may well have needed that. Back up in trip.

Form: 47-1117

Naasma¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: S M Levey| T: P Phelan| OR: 67

Tailorman⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 66| D

5/4

Winner at Ripon in August. Cheekpieces on for first time, good second of 13 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft, 9/1) 4 days ago, running on. Has to be taken seriously on the back of that run.

Eagle One^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: T P Queally| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 65| BF

17/2

Latest win at Ffos Las in August. Sixth of 7 in handicap (2/1) at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 33 days ago. Return to the AW may seem hum in a better light.

Form: 02-5316

Zivaniya^b,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 64| CD

8/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in August. Eighth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Chester (15.9f, heavy) 12 days ago, perhaps finding the ground too testing.

Form: 317168

Doublethetrouble^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 62| D

5/1

Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, evens) 13 days ago, all out. Nudged up just 2 lb and while this is a slightly deeper race, a bold hat-trick bid is forthcoming.

Form: 362011

Anisoptera^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: William Carson| T: B R Johnson| OR: 59| CD

8/1

Three-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 25/1) 11 days ago. Can make presence felt for all things do have to drop right given her run style.

Form: 736343

Roman Tempest²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Saffie Osborne| T: S Dow| OR: 47

40/1

28/1, 12¾ lengths ninth of 13 to Doublethetrouble in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 20 days ago.

Form: 1-87809

Forecasts

Tailorman (5/4), Doublethetrouble (5/1), Anisoptera (8/1), Zivaniya (8/1), Eagle One (17/2), Naasma (11/1), Capstan (11/1), Roman Tempest (40/1)

The way TAILORMAN went through the race at Chester on Saturday confirms he's in top form and on that basis, he really should be at home on the AW. He's therefore marginally preferred to hat-trick seeker Doublethetrouble and Anisoptera.
