Runners Spotlight

1
Blazing Son
Favorite

Three wins, a second and three thirds from his seven course visits, most recently a hard-fought success nine days ago; a 3lb rise demands more but no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid.

Jockey: Oliver Carmichael(7)Trainer: Bryan Smart
2
Flying Fletcher

Finished a neck and a nose behind Blazing Son over C&D nine days ago; 1lb better off ahead of the rematch; shortlist material.

Jockey: Warren Fentiman(3)Trainer: Richard Fahey
3
Kings Merchant

Dropped a long way in the weights this year; latest Carlisle fourth was better and, given that was his first 7f outing, he could take another step back in the right direction.

Jockey: Mason Paetel(3)Trainer: Philip Kirby
4
Candonomore

Three-time winner at 1m; 3lb lower than for his last success and he ran a creditable race at Newmarket on Thursday; unplaced in one previous AW start but he endured a wide trip at Wolverhampton on that occasion and it shouldn't be used against him; high on the list.

Jockey: Jake Dickson(7)Trainer: Tim Easterby
5
Finbar's Lad

Only 2lb higher than for his front-running win at Chelmsford in July but he hasn't matched it in three runs since, including back at Chelmsford 17 days ago; others appeal more.

Jockey: Sam Feilden(5)Trainer: John & Sean Quinn
