Beach Partee^p¹¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 10-0| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 53| D

4/1

Much improved when winning 6-runner handicap at Brighton (9/1) 11 days ago on soft ground in first-time cheekpieces, showing good attitude to fend off the runner-up late. Cheekpieces could be the key to him so he's shortlisted.

Form: 003641

(8)

Dream Forever²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 54

7/1

Yet to show much ability, finishing eighth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (28/1) 22 days ago when racing off the pace. May need further than this 6f trip.

Form: 9668

(2)

Preminision¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54

6/1

Modest performer in handicaps who finished fifth of 9 at Catterick (22/1) 17 days ago, struggling early over 6f but making late headway. May be better suited to a return to 7f.

Form: 044375

Woody Y Fernandez^t⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Candlish| OR: 51

10/3

Has shown improvement in recent nurseries second of 5 in 6f handicap at Windsor (3/1) 53 days ago, making progress from rear to challenge, only going down by a nose. Slow starts remain a concern but he looks well weighted.

Form: 96432

(4)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 50

5/1

Ran to a similar level when sixth of 9 in a 6f handicap at Catterick (9/2) 17 days ago, helping force the pace before weakening in the final furlong. Returns to AW.

Form: 074566

Forecasts

Woody Y Fernandez (10/3), Beach Partee (4/1), Martha's Shadow (4/1), Spartacus Force (5/1), Preminision (6/1), Dream Forever (7/1), Auspicious (14/1), Spirit Star (40/1), U Heat (50/1)

WOODY Y FERNANDEZ has shown clear improvement in recent nurseries, going down by just a nose at Windsor. His slow starts remain a concern but that's less of an issue at this venue than other AW tracks and he looks the way to go. Beach Partee showed newfound resolution when winning at Brighton in first-time cheekpieces and is feared most, ahead of Spartacus Force.
