Gentlemen^h¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 89| C| D

14/1

Long, losing streak stretches back to June, last year, when he won over 6f at Chelmsford off 4lb higher. Clearly on a feasible handicap mark, but has something to prove dropped to the minimum trip.

Form: 784840

Kodiline^v⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 87

5/1

Lightly-raced colt who won a 6f maiden at Windsor in July, last year. Slowly into stride when fifth of seven in a first-time visor at Newmarket and the headgear is retained on this drop in trip off a 3lb lower mark.

Form: 134-605

Alsvinder¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| D

3/1

Has won two of his three starts on AW surfaces, including last time over this trip at Chelmsford where he made all. Has a 6lb rise to cope with, but his record on artificial surfaces suggests he is the one to beat.

Form: 729481

Foxy Forever^t⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 87| D

7/2

Quite consistent sprinter who has been in good form this year, winning three times. Fourth of nine off this mark over C&D last time, but won off only 2lb lower at Newmarket in August and last two wins have come with this jockey on board.

Form: 351124

Shamshon^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Adam Beschizza| T: S C Williams| OR: 86| D

5/1

Has been in fair form on recent turf outings on some of the leading racecourses and returns to the AW 1lb lower than when winning at Newmarket in July. Has to enter calculations.

Form: 160496

Arzaak^b²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 85| D

6/1

Beaten 1L or less on his last four outings on turf , but is now 12lb higher than when winning for the only time on the AW at Southwell. He has improved since then, however, and has to be taken seriously.

Form: 142234

(7)

Gorgeous Noora²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Spencer| T: L M Cumani| OR: 81| BF

12/1

Evens favourite when winning a 13-runner maiden at Wolverhampton on the second of her three starts, but seemed to find 6f too far when well beaten on her handicap debut at Newmarket. Down in trip and off 2lb lower, she has the chance to bounce back.

Form: 31-0

Forecasts

Alsvinder (3/1), Foxy Forever (7/2), Shamshon (5/1), Kodiline (5/1), Arzaak (6/1), Gorgeous Noora (12/1), Gentlemen (14/1)

Quite a competitive sprint handicap in which cases can be made for most of the runners. Foxy Forever is always a threat in these types of contests and is feared, but the selection is ALSVINDER, who is 2-3 on the AW and has scope for more improvement. Shamshon, Arzaak and Gorgeous Noora also have decent claims.
