Jan Van Hoof^h²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: M Herrington| OR: 75| D

28/1

Ran quite well here on his comeback from a lengthy absence last month. Dipped some way below that at Wolverhampton last time. Drops 4lb, and could get involved if he can bounce back.

Form: 2428/80

(9)

Secretinthepark^h1⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Fahy| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 74| C| D

28/1

Up 4lb for a 6f win here last time. Effective over 5f. More needed to follow up, but has to be respected in first-time hood.

Form: 004231

(1)

Magic Pulse³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 74| D

33/1

Has won on both Polytrack and Fibresand, and ran well enough here two starts ago. More needed, but each-way claims.

Form: 308148

(4)

Rock of Estonia⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 74| D

10/1

Has two turf wins to his name and now makes his AW debut with a drop in grade and from a mark that is probably within his compass. Claims.

Form: 11-7478

(10)

Lord Of The Glen^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: J S Goldie| OR: 73| CD

15/2

All three wins have been over C&D, the most recent in February being by 3L from this mark. Has thrown is other good efforts from higher marks since, suggesting that we could see another very big effort from him here.

Form: 264798

(11)

Eternal Sun⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 73| CD

16/1

Has improved with each run and scored over C&D when last seen in September. Looks to have been given a fair mark for this handicap debut. Could go well.

Form: 741

(14)

Manshood^b⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: P T Midgley| OR: 72

4/1

Has only had two AW runs and went close here over C&D last year, when 1lb lower. Not easy to catch him right, but certainly not discounted if he runs to somewhere near his current best.

Form: 265099

(5)

Pea Shooter⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 72| CD

12/1

Scored over C&D in March, when 7lb lower. Beaten just ½L from 1lb lower here last time. Bit more needed, but enters calculations.

Form: 471323

(8)

Wiff Waff⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 72| CD

14/1

Dual C&D winner, the best of those from 5lb lower. Should be competitive from this mark, but a bit more needed to win again.

Form: 624139

(3)

Becker²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 71| D

5/1

Dual Polytrack winner at Chelmsford and Kempton earlier in the year, the best of those from 2lb higher. Back on a handy mark. Should go well.

Form: 133437

(6)

Suwaan¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70| CD

4/1

5lb higher than when scoring over C&D last year. Has improved since then and came within 1½L of victory when 6lb higher here last month. Claims if able to repeat that effort, but has been below that level on his last three starts.

Form: 233797

(2)

My Name Is Rio²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: J J Davies| OR: 69| D

40/1

Fibresand and turf winner who has yet to show his best form here. 3lb drop since his last run, but that looks insufficient.

Form: 200009

(7)

Point Of Woods^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 67| D

20/1

1-1 on AW, having scored at Wolverhampton in 2015. Back on his last winning turf mark from July, but given that his form leading up to this is not quite as persuasive, he looks to have a bit to prove.

Form: 450500

(13)

Spirit Power³¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rachel Richardson| T: E J Alston| OR: 67

50/1

0-10 for Joseph O'Brien and sold for £10,500 in January, joining this trainer, for whom he makes his debut some 10 months later. Has enough form to get heavily involved from this mark, so check the market. Interesting.

Form: 06444-0

Forecasts

Manshood (4/1), Suwaan (4/1), Becker (5/1), Lord Of The Glen (15/2), Rock of Estonia (10/1), Pea Shooter (12/1), Wiff Waff (14/1), Eternal Sun (16/1), Point Of Woods (20/1), Secretinthepark (28/1), Jan Van Hoof (28/1), Magic Pulse (33/1), My Name Is Rio (40/1), Spirit Power (50/1)

Several in here have claims, with Suwaan looking well treated on some recent form, while Becker, Secretinthepark and Spirit Power are all interesting. Pea Shooter, Eternal Sun and Rock Of Estonia are others with claims, but the suggestion is to side with triple C&D winner LORD OF THE GLEN, who has run well from higher marks since his last win and is taken to come good again.
