11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on first time, third of 14 in novice at Kempton (1¼m) on reappearance 20 days ago. Entitled to be sharper for the run and rates a potential improver in handicaps.

13/8

Made a winning debut over 1m here in December. Second in novice at Southwell next time and made a promising start to his handicap career when keeping on well for third of 12 at Sandown (1¼m) 16 days ago. Capable of better again and leading claims.

Form: 1-23

40/1

Debut winner on heavy ground at Haydock (1m) last September. Failed to build on that in 2 subsequent outings last year and his opening handicap mark looks tough. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 77| D

5/1

Winner of handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) last month. Not in quite the same form when fourth under and a penalty at Nottingham (1¼m again) 8 days later but he remains one to be positive about back on AW.

Forecasts

Gunship (13/8), Cristo (3/1), Tilted Kilt (4/1), War Hawk (5/1), Sword Of Wessex (11/1), One Eye Jack (40/1)

GUNSHIP shaped very well when keeping on from further back than ideal for third at Sandown last month and should take a bit of stopping with further progress likely. Fellow Newmarket raiders Sword of Wessex and War Hawk may give him most to do.
