Chelmsford Mile Series Qualifying Handicap (Chelmsford Mile Series Qualifier)

Recorded his eighth AW win when justifying favouritism with a strong finish here (6f; off 3lb lower) last month; no impact on his return visit two weeks ago but that was from a wide draw in a Class 2 event; now goes back up in trip but he has won over 7f and he's in the mix on this big drop back in grade.

Triple C&D winner who defied this mark at Wolverhampton in October but he's lost his way since and has finished out the back in both runs for current yard; now drops back into a Class 5 event but this 9yo needs a major revival.

Five-time AW winner who scored over C&D in October and he bounced back with a creditable second at Southwell two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher than for his last success and he's respected back on Polytrack.

Veteran who is an eight-time AW winner including three over C&D; held back on Polytrack in last four starts but he did best of the rest behind an improver here (7f) last time; should get a decent tow into this race and has each-way claims again.

Won twice on turf during the summer and he finished placed in his final four runs for James Fanshawe; changed hands for 27,000gns in October; well backed into 4-1 on recent stable debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) and he battled well for a narrow win over Arantes Nascimento; up 3lb but that was a personal best last time and he's open to more progress; key player.
