Tawny Port¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: S C Williams| OR: 89| CD

15/8

Not seen to best effect last time, but had previously gained his first AW win over C&D. New mark demands more, but he's more than capable of bouncing straight back.

Form: 607017

Foolaad^t⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 88| CD

13/2

Not at his best in latter half of turf campaign, but has an excellent record here, and three wins here in 2018 came off this mark or higher. Can go well after a break, and likely to go well.

Form: 278050

Moon Trouble¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 87| D

17/2

Won at Chelmsford in June, but he has been below that form on all four starts subsequently, and is still 2lb above that winning mark. May struggle, even if refinding form.

Form: 416606

Hareem Queen⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke| OR: 87| CD

9/4

Won a C&D maiden in October, and much improved when scoring on handicap bow here on latest start. Has been raised 9lb for that, but unexposed, and sure to do better again.

Form: 4411

(7)

Moonraker³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 83| CD

16/1

Has won three times over C&D, but out of sorts of late, and a return to this track did not see any improvement last time. Will bounce back in time, but hard to support at present.

Form: 060699

Samovar^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: S Dixon| OR: 79| CD

11/2

Moody sort who can start slowly, but in a rich vein of form since winning over C&D in October, and gained another win over 6f here last time. All wins have come at Class 4 or lower, however, so more required here.

Forecasts

Tawny Port (15/8), Hareem Queen (9/4), Samovar (11/2), Foolaad (13/2), Crosse Fire (8/1), Moon Trouble (17/2), Moonraker (16/1)

FOOLAAD has an excellent record on this surface, and looked as good as every early in the year. He's fallen below his last winning AW mark after ending the turf season out of form, and can take advantage given his good record fresh. Hareem Queen is unexposed and progressive, so looks the biggest danger, although Tawny Port is also worthy of consideration.
