10st 1lb |
Usually seen over further than this with his only AW success coming over 2m; 18lb below his last winning mark, but recent efforts don't suggest he is ready to take advantage; visor the headgear of choice this time. |

Gained his first AW success when springing a 66-1 surprise over 1m6f here in December; less good at Southwell 44 days ago and others are stronger today. |

2nd Feb 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Apparently all the better for a break when winning a Class 4 1m6f handicap under Aiden Brookes at Wolverhampton in December, for which he's been raised 3lb; may struggle in this deeper, better-quality contest. |

1m4f/1m6f wins on turf this year and now only 3lb higher than for the latest, which was also under the handling of Aiden Brookes; 0-6 on the AW and only once placed, which is a worry. |

8st 9lb |
Scored on turf last autumn; 0-8 this term but ran well (close third) over 1m6f here most recently, despite taking a good hold; unexposed on AW and has a fighting chance, especially if settling better. |
7/1 |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, pushed along and switched right from under 2f out, soon up the centre and headway, ridden when disputed lead 1f out, no extra and lost position inside final 110yds |

10st 2lb |
Two attempts in Class 6 have resulted in his peak form, namely 11.5f success at Yarmouth (off this mark) last May and close third here in September; interesting back in this grade. |
15/2 |

13th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Turf winner in May; creditable efforts on AW on his last three starts; cheekpieces given another go today (tailed off in them previously); return to Class 6 a plus; respected. |

20th Aug 2022 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Not bred for staying trips on dam's side but she looked a trier when staying on tenaciously into second over 1m6f at Yarmouth, then finished virtually alone when upped to 2m1f at Pontefract last week; dubious form but is unexposed; respected under penalty back on AW. |

Beaten in four maidens before coming good at Fairyhouse (yielding) last month; ran poorly on the AW the following week and looks up against it. |

15th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Below-best on last three Flat starts in Britain; restored to form over hurdles lately, third in a 21-runner maiden at Naas before turning over odds-on favourite Paradise Lost at Fairyhouse last week; capable of going close. |

Verdict
Sir Mark Prescott, who won this last year, is enjoying a typically productive July and his unexposed GORDONS AURA may be up to extending the good run now handicapping, upped in trip and fitted with headgear. Maggie's Delight is another open to improvement in a race in which none of the eight can be ruled out.[Graham Wheldon]Selections
