Selected odds by:

(6)

Tallulah's Quest^t1⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 55

9/2

Yet to win in 12 starts but she's ran some game races in defeat and she can't be discounted if the first-time headgear works on Tapeta debut.

Form: 55-6336

(12)

Kroy^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 55| C

7/2

Has only won once in 16 starts but that success did come here in October over 6f. Ran well in defeat over this C&D next time out and returned with a promising effort on Tapeta at Wolverhampton last time; not ruled out if building on that.

Form: 275-003

(4)

Frank's Legacy^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T Hamilton| T: I Furtado| OR: 54

7/2

Has just won once in nine starts. Turf debut was a slightly underwhelming effort at Thirsk last time out but he had previously been in good form on AW and not without a chance if his jockey gets the fractions right on the front end.

Form: 124-635

(10)

Royal Melody^h⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: H Main| OR: 51

10/1

One win from 19 starts and yet to win in six AW outings. Makes her course debut but produced one of her better efforts on this surface at Wolverhampton in 2016. The concern would be she's been soundly beaten on her last couple of starts.

Form: 81230-0

(5)

Evanescent⁷¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: P Aspell| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 50| D

50/1

Has eight career wins to his name. Hasn't won since 2016 and he's yet to win in 16 AW outings. Hard to fancy having run poorly on each of his last three starts.

Form: 09-2998

(7)

Jazz Magic²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Garritty| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 55

8/1

A maiden after four starts and soundly beaten on handicap debut last time out. Much more needed here on AW debut.

Form: 7-587

(1)

Mr Potter^v³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: R C Guest| OR: 48| CD

20/1

C&D winner but losing run starting to mount up now and showed very few signs of revival on either start last month. Others preferred.

Form: 240860

(3)

Fidelma Moon²⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 47| D

50/1

Losing run goes back over two years but she starts out for a new yard now and she's very well-handicapped on old form. Entitled to need the run on seasonal reappearance.

Form: 690068-

(9)

Nutopia¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 53

40/1

Unplaced in each of her four starts including handicap debut last time on Tapeta at Wolverhampton. Hard to fancy on evidence to date.

Form: 0557

(14)

First Breath²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: B Haslam| OR: 53| BF

13/2

Showed very little in novice company but he put up a better effort on handicap debut at Kempton last time when stepped up in trip. Left on the same mark by the handicapper and not ruled out.

Form: 7873

(13)

Surrender⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48

10/1

Unplaced on each of his eight starts and AW debut last time out was an underwhelming performance. Drops right back in trip and hard to fancy.

Form: 70-6478

(11)

The Gingerbreadman²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 45

100/1

Still a maiden after seven starts and he's only beaten a total of one rival home in his last four starts. Impossible to fancy on what's in the form book.

Form: 070-000

(2)

Mardy Gras²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

50/1

Still a maiden after six outings and he failed to beat a rival home in three previous outings at this course. Others preferred.

Form: 709698

(8)

Orsay⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: S A Gray| T: C J Teague| OR: 45

100/1

Hasn't beaten many home in three starts to date, tailed off at Thirsk last time out when 150/1. Drops back in trip for handicap/AW debut and hard to make a case for from well out of the handicap.

Form: 950

Forecasts

Frank's Legacy (7/2), Kroy (7/2), Tallulah's Quest (9/2), First Breath (13/2), Jazz Magic (8/1), Surrender (10/1), Royal Melody (10/1), Mr Potter (20/1), Nutopia (40/1), Evanescent (50/1), Fidelma Moon (50/1), Mardy Gras (50/1), The Gingerbreadman (100/1), Orsay (100/1)

KROY has course form to his name and he shaped like a return to form may be imminent on Tapeta at Wolverhampton when last seen. Frank's Legacy looks in need of a return to front-running tactics and he's capable of going well back on all-weather here. First Breath is entirely unexposed and produced an improved effort on handicap debut last time; with more progress to come, he could be the main danger to the selection.
