Original Choice^v⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 96| CD

14/1

Has won at this course over the extended 1m trip, while his record on the AW is good. His last success came two starts back when he prevailed in a three runner field at Lingfield (1m3½f). Needs to bounce back from latest effort at Newmarket (1m4f).

Furzig³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S P Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 88

13/2

Prevailed on the AW at Newcastle (1m2f) three starts back. Has been well held in two attempts since, including when he was 13th of 19 at York (1m2½f) last month. Has to produce more from this mark.

Sandret⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: G Lee| T: B Haslam| OR: 91

11/2

Scored for the third time in his career last time out at Doncaster (1m2f) in a six runner contest. His sole appearance on AW came on is debut at Newcastle (6f) where he made a winning start. One to think about.

King's Slipper⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 87

13/2

Won on his opening start of the year at Kempton (1m) back in April, however, he has been unable to follow it up since. He finished fifth of nine on his latest run at Chelmsford (1m2f). Down to his last winning mark now. Worth consideration.

Mr Top Hat²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 85| BF

28/1

His last win came back in May at Chester (1m2½f). Has been below his best recently, including when he had just one horse behind him in a 10 runner field at Windsor (1m2f) last time. Others appeal more.

Siglo Six^h³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: H Palmer| OR: 88

16/1

Has won twice on turf but has not performed very well in his two appearances on the AW so far. He was seventh of eight on his latest effort at Kempton (1m). Has to produce more on this surface.

Form: 215137

Michele Strogoff⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Jane Elliott| T: M Appleby| OR: 85| CD

16/1

A three-time C&D winner. His last success came here back in January. Has gone really close to another win on three of his last four starts. He could only finish fifth of nine last time at Chelmsford (1m) though. One to think about.

Form: 352225

Alfurat River⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 87| BF

13/2

Scored on the third start of his career at Redcar (7f). Was fancied to add to his tally last time at Kempton (1m) but he was disappointing, finishing 10th of 11 after going off as the 2/1 favourite. Can bounce back from latest.

Form: 3215-0

Kaser³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 83| CD

15/2

Ran on strongly to get on top at this course over the extended 1m trip in a 13 runner field for his third ever success on his latest outing. Handicapper has raised him 5lb for that win. Should be in the mix again so one for the shortlist.

Form: 751671

Data Protection^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: W R Muir| OR: 83| D

9/1

Was successful at Newmarket (1m1f) on his penultimate start where he scored by 3½L. He didn't fare badly in his follow up attempt as he was third of 10 at Windsor (1m2f). Remains off the same mark. Is worth thinking about.

Form: 212213

I'm Available²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 86| BF

7/1

Recorded two victories earlier this year, with the latest of those coming in April at Nottingham (1m½f) in a 8L success. Was a long way off the winner last time at Newbury (1m2f) when he was fifth of nine. One to consider.

Scofflaw^v²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 77| CD

28/1

A C&D winner who completed a hat-trick of wins back in the summer at Chester (1m2½f). Has been unable to add to his tally since then. He was fourth of 14 on his latest start at Windsor (1m). Has been eased 2lb. Worth respecting.

Form: 942554

Storm Ahead^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Phil Dennis| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74

28/1

Finished third of 13 at this course on his penultimate outing over 1m½f. Was well held last time though when he came back eighth of 16 at Newmarket (1m). Others appeal more in the race.

Sandret (11/2), Furzig (13/2), King's Slipper (13/2), Alfurat River (13/2), I'm Available (7/1), Kaser (15/2), Data Protection (9/1), Original Choice (14/1), Michele Strogoff (16/1), Siglo Six (16/1), Storm Ahead (28/1), Scofflaw (28/1), Mr Top Hat (28/1)

ALFURAT RIVER showed a lot of promise last year, which included success Redcar. He made a return to action at Kempton back in August where he ran like he needed that start so expect him to be much better here and claim the second victory of his career. I'm Available was disappointing at Newbury last time out but he is likely to be much closer here, while Kaser is aiming to follow up from his success at this course over a slightly longer trip here on his latest start but may have to settle for one of the minor honours this time.
