Cheeseburger Aaron Handicap

4YO plus | Class 6 | 7f 16y | 7 Runners | Turf

(1)

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 65| D

Thriving since joining new connections, bagging 3 wins from her last 4 starts, including a 6-runner handicap at Newmarket 7 days ago, making light of a 12 lb rise. Effectively able to race from 5 lb lower here and holds outstanding claims of extending her winning spree.

Form: 231211

(2)

Auburn Avenue¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: J L Flint| OR: 62

Winless after 17 starts and not matched the pick of her Irish form in 2 outings since joining this yard. Back down in trip but looks hard to fancy.

Form: 2472-87

(4)

Brave Byreflection²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox| T: H J Evans| OR: 60| CD

C&D winner who has struggled this year, including finishing last in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton in June. Headgear quickly removed and is tumbling down the weights but she's hard to be confident about on recent evidence.

Form: 59-7860

(5)

On Key^p¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 54| D

Had been expensive to follow prior to finally breaking his duck in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. Should prove competitive under a penalty on return to turf but not an obvious one to follow up.

Form: 523231

Francisco^t,v⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 58| D

Won at Lingfield over 7f on the all-weather in April but struggled both starts since and needs to bounce back.

Form: 4-43168

(6)

Too Much Trevor⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 53| CD

Discovered the winning knack of late, scoring twice at this track in last 4 starts, including a 12-runner handicap over C&D 8 days ago, keeping much straighter than usual. Penalty to contend with here and has a tendency to hang badly left so isn't sure to back that form up.

Form: 231441

(3)

Sioux Warrior^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Joe Leavy| T: A Wintle| OR: 56| CD

Ended a long losing run when winning a handicap over C&D 16 days ago. Lightly raced at 7f and stable in fine form so he's respected on the back of a small rise.

Form: 652331

Forecasts

Prefer The Sister (1/1), On Key (5/1), Too Much Trevor (11/2), Sioux Warrior (6/1), Francisco (14/1), Auburn Avenue (14/1), Brave Byreflection (20/1)

PREFER THE SISTER has taken her form to another level since joining this yard with 3 wins from her last 4 starts and she is very well treated on these terms so she should be winning again. Sioux Warrior ended a long losing run over C&D a fortnight ago, while Too Much Trevor also won here 8 days ago and they look the biggest dangers.
