Frilly Front Frustrating sort but on his day can run well. Trainer has good AW record and this horse is a course and distance winner. Should have a decent chance if he can put his last run behind him.
Torrent Tough sort who is probably due a win. Track and trip will be no problem.
Perigeux (IRE) Consistent type who always seems to find one or two too good. Not won since July and that was with the assistance of Richard Hughes. Place chances at best.
The Bull Macabe Excellent one length 4th to Sharp Hat here two weeks ago over this distance after floundering somewhat over 7f in his previous two runs. Must have excellent chance if he can step up on that last run.
Grey Flyer Won Selling Handicap at Mussleborough in June but has disapointed on the AW since. Little worthwhile chance.
Border Glen Never won over this distance but was fairly impressive over 6f here last week. With the rest of the field being distinctly average this horse should not be discounted from calculations.
Miss Brief (IRE) Likes to race up with the pace though tends to find very little. Back after a six month break this half sister to the useful Guinea Hunter is probably best watched on this occasion. Any market move for this may prove interesting.
Arogant Prince Has lost his way since winning a decent race at Wolverhampton last May. Dropping down the handicap and a race of this quality should not be out of his grasp.
Judiam Has been tried at all the top tracks winning at Sandown in July. Only one previous AW run but this race looks within his grasp.
Queen of The May (IRE) Steadily falling down the handicap but this is not his best trip. Decent effort last time in a big field at Southwell. Place chances a possibility but not the likely winner.
