My Mate Mike (G)
FAV
Course winner who is generally better on AW. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (4/1) last August, taking strong hold early and weakening late. Will need to settle better back over a mile today but has rejoined previous yard and ma…

Lexington Jet (G)
[B1]
Placed twice in last five starts but failed to improve for step up to 1m when third of 4 in handicap at Southwell (10/1) 27 days ago, led but weakened late on. Remains to be seen if change of headgear does the trick.

My Awele (M)
[T]
Latest win at Leicester in July but has gone 6 runs without a win and finished fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (25/1) 12 days ago, showing tad more enthusiasm over 8f. Now racing below last winning mark but needs to build on latest run…

Pitney (G)
[V]
In good form on AW recently with 2nd at Wolverhampton (9f) and 3rd there. Finished 4th at Lingfield (4/1) when dropped slightly in trip. Running well and capable of challenging here.

Union Island (G)
Completed a hat-trick last June but hasn't won in 4 runs since, finishing sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (17/2) 12 days ago, possibly still needing run. Previous C&D winner who may be closer to form here.

Blue Eclipse (G)
7f maiden winner here but lost his way for Alice Haynes. Step back in the right direction when well-backed 4th at Wolverhampton despite being hampered at start. Now returning to previous winning course with potential for better performance…

Poetic Force (G)
Consistent performer with three placed efforts in last five starts, finished fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield Park (40/1) 5 days ago, shaping encouragingly after a break. Veteran should be competitive.

Fillyfudge (M)

Has one course win and finished fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12/1) 26 days ago, running better than previous start. First-time cheekpieces replace visor for drop back in trip (all previous Flat wins over 10f).
