Made a winning stable debut at Chester last September (2m, heavy); now 7lb lower but out of sorts since returning to AW in December.
Form: 7/82-9 BF

W: 9st 8lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Just missed out at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut in September (1m4f); disappointed back at Wolverhampton six weeks ago but better than that and still has some potential.

W: 9st 8lb

Four wins since November, two of them over C&D; got up late to win at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and he's only 2lb higher; should be involved.
Form: 51-822 D
OR: 56
W: 9st 7lb
Age: 6 yo Colt
Five AW wins to his name, the latest off a 5lb lower mark in December; finished second on his last two starts, over C&D on most recent outing; in the mix once again.
Form: 298-07
OR: 55
W: 9st 6lb
Age: 5 yo Colt
Just missed out in a C&D handicap one year ago when rated 7lb higher; the reason for his drop in the weights is that he's been tailed off in all four starts since.
Form: 776-86
OR: 55
W: 9st 5lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
17-race maiden; her best run for Matt Crawley came over C&D in December and she's now 8lb lower; not solid but it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see her go well.
Form: 257-73 CD
OR: 49
W: 9st 0lb
Age: 9 yo Gelding
It's been a while since his last win but there were some good AW runs in late 2024 and again when third over 1m3f here five weeks ago; each-way claims but others are preferred for win purposes.
Form: 070-6
OR: 48
W: 8st 12lb
Age: 4 yo Gelding
Well beaten in three maiden/novice runs last summer; no better for the switch to a 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton last month (9.5f) and others have more persuasive claims.

Betting Forecast
14/1 Corsican Caper, 4/1 Forest Spirit, 2/1 Khangai, 5/2 Moon Over The Sea, 33/1 Oyamal, 12/1 Alvesta, 11/2 Bay Of Naples, 20/1 Hannasboy
Verdict
Khangai and MOON OVER THE SEA come here in top form and look the safest options with Tony Carroll’s 6yo marginally preferred. Forest Spirit still has potential while a better run from Alvesta could be forthcoming too.[Paul Smith]
