Acrux¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 78| D

9/2

Gained his fifth win of the year when landing a similar event at Kempton. Has been poor on both previous visits here.

Form: 331260

Mujassam^b⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80| D

11/4

Landed a summer hat-trick during the summer to earn a mark in the 90s. That has been quickly revised downwards lately and doubtful he can capitalise on a good draw.

Form: 300659

Green Fortune^b¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 80| CD

10/1

Would be a contender on one of his better days but he has developed into an in and out performer. First run for new yard and best waiting for more positive signs.

Form: 563120

Monumental Man^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 71| BF| C| D

5/2

AW record of 10-42 includes a victory here. Three wins and three seconds on his last six starts, but would be meeting many of these on better terms in a handicap.

Form: 112122

Wirral Girl²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71

7/1

Best recent effort came here in August in a Class 3 contest. First run at this level and no surprise if she took advantage.

Suzi's Connoisseur^b,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Danny Brock| T: P J McBride| OR: 80| D

4/1

Obvious chance on his best form but form has nosedived in past six months and it remains to be seen if a change of scenery has worked.

Forecasts

Monumental Man (5/2), Mujassam (11/4), Suzi's Connoisseur (4/1), Acrux (9/2), Wirral Girl (7/1), Meerpat (8/1), Green Fortune (10/1), Demons And Wizards (25/1)

Monumental Man has been placed well to land three of his last six but preference this time is for WIRRAL GIRL on her first run at this lowly level. A C&D third in a Class 3 contest in August shows she should have little difficulty in winning a race of this nature. Acrux needs to prove himself better than previous efforts here, whilst Mujassam and Green Fortune need to rediscover their spark. Suzi's Connoisseur has joined a new yard and is worth checking in the market for a sign the move has paid off.
