Goodwood/Lingfield winner who's been running well all summer without looking to have anything in hand off this mark, latterly when splitting a couple of subsequent winners over C&D early last month; looks set to go well again.

Yet to score this year but has run well a few times, latest when third of five at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago; should be thereabouts but would prefer some give in the ground.

Form & Verdict
Has form on AW; weakened late over 11.5f last time when bidding for Yarmouth hat-trick (maiden previously); gained his two wins over 1m2f and warrants respect back down in trip with very promising amateur Henry Callan booked.

Took 17 runs to gain a first win, over 1m2f here in July, but followed up in another 1m2f handicap at this track 17 days ago; up 5lb but latest runner-up has gone in since, so he's not taken at all lightly in his hat-trick bid.

Won over this trip for today's rider at Newbury last June (good to firm); rather inconsistent since, but fine second to an in-form rival at Chepstow last time (1m2f, good to soft; The Pug just behind in third); a possible off current good mark.

Yet to add to his two Irish wins in 2023 but has performed well twice this month, finishing second in Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) and fourth in classified race here (1m4f); this drop back in trip ought to suit; probably won't be far away.

9/1

Betting Forcast

5/1 Bownder, 3/1 Divot, 14/1 Kurios Lady, 9/1 Norflondonforever, 16/1 Imperial Decision, 100/30 Alazwar, 10/1 Warrnambool, 6/1 Wrist Art, 10/1 Little She, 25/1 The Pug

Verdict

Under a notable booking back down in distance, there’s a particularly good case to be made for DIVOT (nap) who has been successful in his last two attempts over 1m2f and whose rider Henry Callan has an impressive strike-rate. Solid-looking Bownder is second pick, ahead of Norflondonforever who is still reasonably unexposed in AW handicaps. The two last-time winners are likely to remain competitive.[Steve Boow]
