Contrast²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Josh Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 82

8/1

Has failed to beat a rival in two starts for this stable since leaving Jacqueline Coward's yard. Plenty to prove despite tumbling handicap mark.

Form: 0667-68

Helovaplan³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 82| D

6/4

All three wins on the Flat have been achieved on turf, but two efforts on this surface have seen her finish third. Inching down the weights and looks likely to give a good account.

Form: 13493-3

(5)

Intense Style¹³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: J L Eyre| OR: 78| D

5/1

Chester winner in September, but has not been seen since finishing down the field at the same venue at the end of that month. Has won on the AW, but was unplaced in his other eight starts on synthetic surfaces.

Form: 394219-

Saisons D'Or¹²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 73

3/1

Landed a Catterick maiden last summer, but that remains his only win in 12 attempts. Sixth of 14 at this track when last seen in October and may need this return to action.

Form: 816326-

(3)

Remmy D⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Corey Madden⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 70

9/2

First run for this yard since leaving Roger Fell's stable when fifth of nine over 1m2f at this venue. Both career wins have come over further.

Form: 38771-5

Forecasts

Helovaplan (6/4), Saisons D'Or (3/1), Remmy D (9/2), Intense Style (5/1), Contrast (8/1)

With Remmy D suited by further, Saisons D'Or and Intense Style lacking a recent run and top-weight Contrast out of sorts, this may be best left to HELOVAPLAN, who has won three times on turf but has shown enough to suggest he handles the AW. He is feasibly weighted and looks the safest option.
