Surewhynot^p,t¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 55| C

7/1

Formerly trained in Ireland by Gavin Cromwell, final start for that yard was a win here over slightly shorter trip in May. Interesting now after break, having gone up just 3lb.

Form: 0-66401

Filament Of Gold^b⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R Brotherton| OR: 51| D

7/1

Wolverhampton winner in May last year and won again on very fast ground at Bath on penultimate start off mark of 49. Capable of going well here if taking to Fibresand.

Form: 047413

Albert Boy⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45| D

11/2

Scored over 1m4f at Thirsk last week, carries a 6lb penalty for that success and bids to end 0-13 record on artificial surfaces.

Form: 385241

Young Tom^t1²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 50| D

50/1

Tailed off last month at Wolverhampton on return to the Flat after unsuccessful stint hurdling for this yard. Was sent off 150/1 then and likely to hold limited appeal again here.

Form: 7/2730-0

Onda District¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mathers| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 49

12/1

Rated in the high 70's in 2015, but had an extended period off the track prior to reappearing in May, best run since came over this trip at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. Can go close if building on that run.

Form: 3/94073

Palindrome⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 49

11/4

Only win in 22 starts came over 1m1f but promising third of 17 over 1m4f at Thirsk this month was promising and will go close with a similar effort back on the AW.

Form: 194423

Bushel^p⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 48| C| D

16/1

Has barely beaten a rival since scoring here in April 2017 and very hard to get enthusiastic on chances despite tumbling mark.

Form: 0-00040

(13)

Anna Jammeela^h,t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: L Wadham| OR: 55

25/1

German import who showed little on either start for this handler at Lingfield and Wolverhampton so far. Needs this significantly longer trip to bring about major improvement.

Form: 50-76

(1)

Lady Natasha¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: James Grassick| OR: 45

66/1

Fair start for this yard over 1m2f at Brighton in July after a layoff but essentially taking backwards steps since. 0-14 on turf and doesn't seem overly likely to open account now switched to the AW.

Form: 57-6658

(14)

Glasgon⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: R Craggs| OR: 45| D

20/1

Lightly-raced since scoring at Newcastle in October 2016, and has presumably had issues. Below form at same venue after a lengthy absence in June and didn't improve in July at Wolverhampton dropped in trip. Back up here, hard to make a case for.

Form: 310/4-95

(5)

Red Douglas^p⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

14/1

Improved for step up to 1m3f here in January, too keen on return from 169-day absence last month at Chelmsford over 1m6f. Possible can be seen to better effect this time.

Form: 0766-39

(3)

Goldfox Girl^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: R Ffrench| T: M Appleby| OR: 50

20/1

By a sire who was unplaced on his only start. Has looked modest in her five runs so far, latest when weakening from contention in 1m soft-ground Chepstow handicap 11 days ago. First attempt beyond a mile now.

Form: 64-000

(6)

Delicate Footsteps¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: A Mullen| T: M Herrington| OR: 48

33/1

Lightly-raced filly, hasn't been able to lay any kind of blow in five starts so far, including in two handicaps. Tackles longer trip with plenty improvement required.

Form: 88579

(7)

Snatty Dancer^p1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: George Wood| T: H Morrison| OR: 46

8/1

Unexposed but needs to build considerably on what she's shown so far. Trainer excels with this sort of animal. Well held over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last month, first-time cheekpieces added now.

Form: 00-9575

Forecasts

Palindrome (11/4), Albert Boy (11/2), Filament Of Gold (7/1), Surewhynot (7/1), Snatty Dancer (8/1), Onda District (12/1), Red Douglas (14/1), Bushel (16/1), Glasgon (20/1), Goldfox Girl (20/1), Anna Jammeela (25/1), Delicate Footsteps (33/1), Young Tom (50/1), Lady Natasha (66/1)

SUREWHYNOT was well backed to win for trainer Gavin Cromwell here in May and is likely capable of better things still having been given a rest since. She's up 3lb by surely hasn't hit the ceiling just yet and can follow up. Albert Boy is respected after scoring at Thirsk in game style last time but is 0-13 on the AW. Filament Of Gold can play a part on first start here while Red Douglas went nicely here in January and should be ready to go after a pipe-opener at Chelmsford recently.
