13 (8)	Always A Star Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Harry Charlton	J:Oisin Orr T:Harry Charlton	125	—	352333	70	91	72	26d	—	—	-7	22	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims once more
4 (1)	Way Of Life Bay J:Joe Leavy T:Jonathan Portman	J:Joe Leavy T:Jonathan Portman	134	—	247435	79	94	79	25d	—	—	+1	12.4	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Fairly well held in his last four races but returning to the AW has to be a good thing
9 (9)	Light Speed Bay J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Gemma Tutty	J:Aiden Brookes(3) T:Gemma Tutty	129	—	082165	74	93	37	25d	—	—	+6	14.9	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Hasn't built on his Beverley win in August and this trip will be a first
12 (3)	His Finest Hour Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Ian Williams	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Ian Williams	126	—	P14226	71	92	-	39d	—	—	+7	15.8	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Consistent since his Newbury win in July and perhaps found the ground too soft last time
5 (7)	Educator Brown J:Hollie Doyle T:Henrietta C Knight	J:Hollie Doyle T:Henrietta C Knight	132	—	113489	77	93	76	32d	—	—	+3	12.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Hard to dismiss off this mark but he did run flat here a month ago
6 (4)	Charming Whisper Bay J:Ashley Lewis(5) T:Philip McBride	J:Ashley Lewis(5) T:Philip McBride	132	—	441307	77	92	-	33d	—	—	+5	13.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
There are stamina queries over quite this far and last two runs were underwhelming
10 (10)	Timeless Charm Chestnut J:Rowan Scott T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:Rowan Scott T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	129	—	373513	74	91	68	27d	—	—	+11	19.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Went off too hot last time; handicapped to go well should they get the tactics right
3 (5)	Primo Lara Chestnut J:Harry Davies T:Jack Morland	J:Harry Davies T:Jack Morland	135	tp	-55676	80	96	-	37d	—	—	+3	9.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Dual 1m2f winner; yet to excel over this far and cheekpieces are now added; others safer
1 (13)	Ludo's Landing Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	137	—	0-3515	82	92	-	96d	—	—	+3	9.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Soft ground was an excuse latest; won the time before and the AW doesn't faze him
8 (6)	Silver Gunn Grey J:Marco Ghiani T:Marco Botti	J:Marco Ghiani T:Marco Botti	130	t	4-2458	75	92	-	37d	—	—	+3	7.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Started this season with a near-miss at Windsor (1m2f) in April but comfortably held since
7 (11)	Papagei Chestnut J:Jonny Peate T:James Ferguson	J:Jonny Peate T:James Ferguson	131	b	382599	76	93	51	39d	—	—	+5	9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Well below best in cheekpieces and blinkers last two outings; needs a revival
2 (2)	Pleasant Man Bay J:Andrea Pinna(7) T:Joey Ramsden	J:Andrea Pinna(7) T:Joey Ramsden	137	v	7-2155	82	90	66	223d	—	—	+5	9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Now makes debut for another new yard after a period on the sidelines; visor added
NR (12)	La Cadalora Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:James Fanshawe	J:NON-RUNNER T:James Fanshawe	127	—	-33323	72	92	-	14d	—	—	—	15	—	—
Still a maiden but continues to knock on the door under varying tactics; in the mix
