No match for the thriving Alfa Kellenic in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f) but he beat the other 20 runners that day and was just about better than ever when making a successful AW debut at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago. 2 lb rise perfectly fair so a must for the shortlist.

Confirmed positive start for this yard when landing 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in August. Continued in good order since at up to 7f and no reason why he won't go well again.

9/2
Scored at Doncaster in March and has remained in good heart since, third of 9 in a higher grade of handicap than he normally contests on penultimate start before racing slightly too close to a strong pacer at Haydock a month ago. Just 1 lb above last winning mark.

Yet to taste success for this yard and form has a patchy look to it. following a sound fifth-place finish at Chester with a heavy defeat in the mud at Haydock a month ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Prone to the odd bad start but broke a bit better and produced a career-best effort when winning 8-runner handicap on heavy at Leicester 17 days ago (5f). Return to 6f no issue and 3 lb rise looks lenient.

Won both AW starts in the spring, latterly a 6f Kempton handicap. Possibly needed it back from a break at Ascot 20 days ago and this will reveal more with return to 6f sure to suit.

Bagged a third career success at Salisbury last month and nothing wrong with a brace of runner-up efforts since, going with plenty of zest before being worn down close home back at that venue 3 weeks ago. Major player up 2 lb.

On a lengthy losing run and was well placed when mid-field at Kempton a fortnight ago. Visor back on but looks opposable from just out of the weights back up in class.

Forecasts

Land Of Magic (16/5), Aramram (4/1), Knebworth (9/2), Sergeant Pep (13/2), Thunder Blue (13/2), Capote's Dream (17/2), Way To Dubai (10/1), Cajetan (18/1)

Verdict

Backing SERGEANT PEP comes with slight risks attached given his issues at the stalls but he's talented on his day and a 3 lb rise for his career-best win at Leicester recently looks lenient. Land of Magic will be ridden totally differently and could be a tough nut to crack if allowed her own way, with Aramram completing the shortlist.
