MAGNA SAM - 14:08 Musselburgh (NAP)
MAGNA SAM has been to Musselburgh half a dozen times and won on four occasions which makes him of obvious interest on his return to the Scottish venue this Monday. He's getting on a bit now at 11 but Alastair Ralph's charge ran a bit better than the bare form suggests when last seen at Uttoxeter in May and he has gone well fresh in the past including when landing his first Edinburgh National at this venue in 2023. That came off a mark of 120 and he's down to precisely the same perch again now, while he's pretty versatile in terms of ground conditions so the forecast rain showers are no bad thing.
HE KNOWS BETTER - 12:50 Huntingdon
Backing horses who fall first time out over fences isn't for everyone but HE KNOWS BETTER was still seemingly going well and looked certain to play a principal role in the finish before falling two-out at Haydock earlier in the month. He's likely to have learnt plenty from the experience and it was his first outing of any kind since May 2024 so he should also have benefitted fitness-wise. Raised 3lb and saddled with top weight here, he moves up to three miles for the first time and still has loads of untapped potential.
LATIN - 14:00 Lingfield
LATIN is obviously operating at a moderate level but he's barely put a foot wrong since joining James Owen and looked to score with a little bit in hand when justifying odds of even-money favourite at Southwell on Friday afternoon. He carries a 5lb penalty and drops in trip at Lingfield but seven furlongs holds no fear whatsoever and he's still able to sneak in at the top of this 0-55 handicap despite effectively rating from a mark of 59. The four-year-old might simply be too good for this lot.
AMERJEET - 17:30 Wolverhampton
Once rated 82, AMERJEET shaped with some encouragement from his falling mark of 57 on debut for Michael Herrington at Wolverhampton recently and could step up to win this contest as he's dropped another pound in the ratings. Billy Loughnane takes over in the saddle and his record for Herrington is excellent to this point, having had just eight rides and enjoyed two winners, on top of a second, third and a fourth.
