Archie^p,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 72

33/1

First run for this trainer since leaving Richard Spencer's yard when fifth of eight in first-time cheekpieces over 7f at Chelmsford. Bit more needed off 2lb lower upped in trip.

Form: 63277-5

(8)

Espresso Freddo^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: R Stephens| OR: 71

7/2

Several solid recent efforts over 7f without being able to get his head in front. Yet to win over this distance, but worth another try at it.

Form: 58334-5

(7)

Skydiving¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 70| BF

13/2

Odds-on favourite when second in a Wolverhampton seller earlier this month. First run for a stable doing well on the AW and has dropped to a feasible mark.

Form: 62253-2

(3)

Magic Mirror^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: M G Rimell| OR: 69| BF| CD

5/2

Winning and placed form at this venue on recent starts, but last three have been over 1m4f and 1m2f. That said, she is effective over this trip and cannot be ruled out.

Form: 66321-5

(4)

Mrs Benson¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: M Blanshard| OR: 67

8/1

Good placed efforts on last two starts over this distance at this course and Lingfield. Still a maiden after 10 races, though, and needs to take that final step forward.

Form: 03793-3

(5)

Elenora Delight^h1,t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: M M Monaghan| T: M Botti| OR: 67

6/1

Only her fifth start and second in a handicap when decent third of 10 over 7f at Wolverhampton. Longer trip should suit and not hard to see her getting involved off 2lb lower in a first-time hood.

Form: 7236-3

(6)

Global Style¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67

20/1

Nine-raced maiden for Ed Dunlop and first run for this stable when 11th of 12 over 1m3f at this track. Plenty to prove dropped in trip, but rating continues to drop.

Form: 23658-0

(2)

Claudine¹⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Amelia Glass⁽⁷⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 63

14/1

Landed a 7f Lingfield maiden in September, 2017, but has been lightly-raced since and has been unable to add to that success. Third of 11 when last seen at Brighton in October, however, so no surprise to see her figure on this return to the AW.

Red Gunner⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57

8/1

Only one win in 22 starts and that came way back in November, 2016. Well-beaten 12th of 13 over C&D on latest run and clearly needs to produce more.

Form: 5536-30

Forecasts

Magic Mirror (5/2), Espresso Freddo (7/2), Elenora Delight (6/1), Skydiving (13/2), Red Gunner (8/1), Mrs Benson (8/1), Claudine (14/1), Global Style (20/1), Archie (33/1)

Espresso Freddo has to prove he is fully effective over this distance, while Magic Mirror has to cope with a drop in trip and Mrs Benson is still looking for her first win. Each have claims, however, and only marginal preference is for ELENORA DELIGHT, who is lightly raced, improving and ought to be suited to this longer distance. Claudine may be best of the rest.
