3/1
Hasn't won in 13 starts since August 2023 but has shown some ability on AW recently. Finished 7th of 12 in handicap at this course over 8.6f (11/2) 17 days ago, racing prominently before fading in the closing stages. May be capable of better with more conservative tactics over this trip.

Won a seller at Musselburgh 55 days ago but finished ninth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (16/1) 31 days ago and found it too competitive. Usually more effective in selling company.

Consistent performer with two course wins and successful at Southwell (9/1) 33 days ago. Fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6/1) 4 days ago, beaten 2¾ lengths. Could go well at a track where he's been successful.

Has eight career wins including one at this C&D and finished sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (22/1) 17 days ago, making steady headway without threatening. Could build on that as twice won on second start after a break.

After a string of unplaced efforts, finished first of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7/2) 20 days ago, fortunate to end a long losing run, all out to hold on. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces today.

Struggled on turf in summer but transformed since returning to AW in September. Won readily in a 12-runner handicap at Southwell (5/2) over 8f 59 days ago, tanking along before keeping on well. Has taken form to a new level with cheekpieces and should continue to excel on AW.

Forecasts

Epictetus (3/1), Tribal Wisdom (10/3), Crack Shot (10/3), Hitched (7/1), Spirit Lead Me (10/1), Eagle Day (11/1), Sailthisshipalone (12/1), Empirestateofmind (20/1), Boubyan (33/1), Not Me (40/1)

Verdict

SPIRIT LEAD ME has been transformed since returning to the all-weather after struggling on turf, tanking along and winning readily at Southwell with cheekpieces. Epictetus hasn't won for over two years but may improve with more conservative tactics over this trip. Tribal Wisdom is a consistent performer with two course wins and was fourth at Southwell just 4 days ago.
