Blue De Vega^t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 95| CD

12/1

Enjoyed a productive 2020, winning 4 times and took advantage of a drop in the weights to win for the first time this year at Doncaster last month. Must bounce back after Sandown disappointment.

Mine's A Double⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R L Moore| T: C G Cox| OR: 88| D

11/10

Off the mark in 10-runner maiden at Leicester (6f) on debut in July and followed up easily under a penalty back there (5f) 18 days later. Should continue to progress moving into handicaps.

Form: 11

Noorban^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| D

7/1

Winner at Ayr (5f) in May and consistent in defeat since, finishing a running-on third of 13 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm, 8/1) 17 days ago. Likely to continue in form.

Form: 223423

Concierge¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 83| D

9/1

Opened his account for the season at Newbury in May and not disgraced off higher marks since. Finished third in this last year but others make more appeal after a couple of recent lacklustre efforts.

Devil's Angel¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 83| D

6/1

In fine form at Newcastle earlier in the year and having dropped to his last winning mark, resumed winning ways at Newmarket. Career best when scoring at Sandown last time so can feature up 6 lb.

Form: 279151

Celsius^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 81| D

12/1

Five wins from 20 starts. Runner-up in this last year but yet to really fire this season and his starts are increasingly becoming a cause for concern. Best to look elsewhere for now.

Form: 208-569

Under Curfew²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 79| D

11/1

Has returned an improved model this year, winning his first 4 starts. Creditable efforts in defeat the last twice but he may find things tougher here from his new mark.

Form: 111123

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 76| BF| D

14/1

Down in grade but found things happening a bit too quickly back at the minimum trip when fourth of 5 (6/4) at Lingfield 25 days ago. Each-way claims with blinkers replacing usual cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Mine's A Double (11/10), Devil's Angel (6/1), King Of Stars (6/1), Noorban (7/1), Concierge (9/1), Under Curfew (11/1), Celsius (12/1), Blue De Vega (12/1), Thegreatestshowman (14/1)

MINE'S A DOUBLE took his record to 2-2 at Leicester in July, and with the promise of better to come, Clive Cox's charge is taken to make a winning handicap debut and maintain his unbeaten start to his career. Devil's Angel arrives on the back of a career-best effort at Sandown a fortnight ago so he could give the selection most to think about up 6 lb, ahead of King of Stars and Noorban.
