Ginger Fox^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 80| CD

9/4

Prevailed over this C&D two starts ago when he edged a close finish by a neck. Ran well last time out in his follow up attempt at Wolverhampton (7f), finishing second of 12, 1L behind the winner. Leading contender.

Moon Trouble^t1,v1¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: M Crehan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| BF| D

20/1

Finished second of four on his latest appearance on the AW at Lingfield (6f) where he went off as the 11/10 favourite. Has been eased 5lb in the weights. Visor is on for the first time. Needs to improve on recent form.

Wiley Post^b⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 78

13/2

Was a winner of a small runner field at Brighton (5½f) back in September. Did not fare badly on his latest attempt at Lingfield (6f) on the AW as he was second of 12. Worth consideration off this 1b higher mark.

Suzi's Connoisseur^b²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 77| D

13/2

Recorded just the one success in 2019, with victory coming at Newmarket (6f) back in June. Was only 1¾L away when he was fifth of 10 on the AW at Lingfield (6f) on his last outing. Has been eased 2lb but others are preferred.

Fighting Temeraire¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: D K Ivory| OR: 76| D

11/2

Scored for the first time on the AW on his penultimate outing in a 14 runner field at Chelmsford (7f). Was unable to follow that up over 1m at that same course on his latest bid. Has each-way claims at this shorter distance.

Form: 627U1-4

Excellent George^t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Matteo Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 75| D

33/1

Is on a long losing stretch which dates back to August 2018. Did record three second place finishes last September. Could only finish sixth of 10 last time at Wolverhampton (5f). Up in trip now. Others appeal more.

Split Down South⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 69| D

4/1

Has a good record on the AW and he improved his strike-rate last time out at Chelsmford (7f), scoring in a nine runner field as the 7/2 favourite. Will carry a 5lb penalty here so he will need to find more. Can't discount.

Form: 12135-1

Alfie Solomons^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: M Dwyer| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 72

8/1

His sole success came at Newcastle (5f) on the second start of his career. He did hit the frame on his latest effort on the AW at Lingfield (6f) when he finished third of 12. Is now 1lb lower in the weights. One for the shortlist.

Form: 75658-3

Omran^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 70

66/1

Has struggled for form since switching yards last October. Had just one horse behind him in an eight runner field at Newcastle (6f) on his latest appearance after going off at 80/1. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 50/808-7

Forecasts

Ginger Fox (9/4), Split Down South (4/1), Fighting Temeraire (11/2), Wiley Post (13/2), Suzi's Connoisseur (13/2), Alfie Solomons (8/1), Venture (8/1), Martineo (16/1), Moon Trouble (20/1), Excellent George (33/1), Omran (66/1)

GINGER FOX has been in great form recently and can record his second win in three starts on his return to this winning distance of 6f. Venture has already scored over this C&D and although he was only able to finish fifth on his handicap debut last time out, he can come home much closer on his return to this course, while Alfie Solomons was third at Lingfield on his latest attempt and should hit the frame once again.
