New Abbey Angel³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Makin| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 52

8/1

Poor strike rate and while he looked like wanting further in latest running on effort over 1m1½f he hasn't inspired in two previous runs over this far.

Form: 627302

Rowlestonerendezvu¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| D

9/1

Returns to the trip she gained lone win over in the summer but recent form not inspiring nor is her AW record.

Form: 266407

(9)

Kaisan^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T J Murphy| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 52

2/1

Ran well last three races, all on AW including when upped to 2m latest. This trip sharp enough but has the beating of several of these rivals on recent form and will take all the beating again.

Form: 507212

Anton Dolin^b,e/s⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 51| D

66/1

Three time hurdle winner was well beaten when last seen on the level here in May over C&D. Based on that form he has it to do.

Form: 0/75420

Dream Serenade^p,h⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby| OR: 51| C

25/1

Slightly better effort latest when third albeit she was beaten 8¼L. Off the same mark here it's hard to see improvement on that finishing position.

Form: 270903

(11)

Siyahamba¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 50

25/1

First AW start here and has some decent handicap form off this sort of mark but looked a non-stayer in two previous runs over this distance so stamina obviously a worry.

Form: 406523

(8)

Dibloam^h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Matt Cosham⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 46| BF

7/2

Running well of late although he has been behind Kaisan twice Step up to 2m last time saw him shade disappointing as favourite but form over this sort of trip strong enough to consider him.

Form: 750425

(6)

Haldaw²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 49

22/1

Tried over a variety of trips without success of late and while she ran one of her better races last time over course and distance she isn't one to rely on.

Form: 642056

(1)

Remember Nerja²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: B Leavy| OR: 47

20/1

Encouraging effort on stable debut latest when third of six at 100/1 in a maiden over 1m1½f. Raised for that by the handicapper but scope for improvement over this trip so not dismissed.

Form: 073073

(7)

Iley Boy^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: J Gallagher| OR: 47

13/2

Ran well two starts back before possibly not lasting home over 1m5½f at Chelmsford latest on a race won by Kaisan. Each-way possibilities here but probably no more.

Form: 445026

(5)

Netley Abbey^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: Karen George| OR: 46

16/1

Best effort to date here two starts back so latest run when completely tailed off and last behind Kaisan a disappointment. Hard to get excited now.

Form: 697630

(3)

Bridal March^p⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: J Mackie| OR: 46

33/1

Knocked on the door a few times for Mark Johnston but not matched that level for this yard so far. Tries new, longer trip here but mixed messages about whether she will stay.

Form: 808056

Forecasts

Kaisan (2/1), Dibloam (7/2), Iley Boy (13/2), New Abbey Angel (8/1), Rowlestonerendezvu (9/1), Netley Abbey (16/1), Remember Nerja (20/1), Haldaw (22/1), Dream Serenade (25/1), Siyahamba (25/1), Bridal March (33/1), Anton Dolin (66/1)

KAISAN is in cracking form at present and several of these rivals have been behind him lately. He sets the standard once more and you suspect if anything finishes in front of Bernard Llewellyn's charge it will be winning. Dibloam is closely matched with the selection on recent clashes between the pair and should again push his rival very hard. Remember Nerja made an encouraging stable debut latest and could be better still over this trip so merits respect also.
