1/1

Won twice at Nottingham over 10f in July. Fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 9 days ago, not seen to best effect when forced to challenge wide in the straight and stayed on in the final furlong. Well treated on best form and can be competitive returning to this track.

As Fast As Wind¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 64

15/2

Has shown mixed form in handicap company including a hurdles second at Taunton in January. Won a 14f handicap at Salisbury (14/1) 10 days ago, making progress 3f out and leading in the final furlong. Has been running to form in half of recent starts but holds solid claims back on AW following that breakthrough success.

Nuptown Girl^h²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C Hills| OR: 63

33/1

Forecasts

Saliko (1/1), Aiming High (4/1), Meleri (9/2), As Fast As Wind (15/2), Bomba Del Mundo (12/1), Nuptown Girl (33/1)

SALIKO wasn't seen to best effect when fourth over C&D nine days ago, having to challenge wide. Well treated on her July Nottingham successes, she can gain compensation. As Fast As Wind shed her maiden tag at Salisbury recently and holds claims despite consistency concerns. Aiming High is reliable and has shown solid form on this surface.
