Call Me Ginger⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 86| D

2/1

Has often shaped well in defeat and it's finally clicked with him lately, completing hat-trick when overcoming positional bias to land Ayr Bronze Cup last week. Only 3 lb higher so could go in again.

Wentworth Falls^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: G A Harker| OR: 85| D

15/2

Hold-up sprinter who landed a third Doncaster success of his career when leading late on at the Leger meeting earlier this month. 4 lb rise not beyond him but he does need things to fall right.

Form: 456521

Nine Tales³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 81| C| D

4/1

Won 7f course maiden in July and followed up in 6f Salisbury novice 8 days later. However, he hasn't really kicked on in 2 handicaps since and doesn't always look straightforward (carries head high).

Form: 2-1153

Never Dark⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: I Jardine| OR: 79

9/2

Bounced back to form to win at Musselburgh in August. Good ¾-length fourth of 22 to the reopposing Call Me Ginger at Ayr last week and he's 3 lb better off with that rival this time.

Second Collection^h¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: A W Carroll| OR: 78| D

16/1

In good form with a win and second in Class 5 events over 5f/6f at Windsor in recent weeks. Has a bit more on her plate in this higher grade but can't be discounted in her current mood.

Form: 653512

Mount Mogan²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 75| D

4/1

Finally came good in a handicap when seeing off 8 rivals at Kempton (6f) earlier this month. Only 1 lb higher so big player if he can reproduce that level back on the grass.

Forecasts

Call Me Ginger (2/1), Mount Mogan (4/1), Nine Tales (4/1), Never Dark (9/2), Al Simmo (7/1), Wentworth Falls (15/2), Second Collection (16/1)

The thriving CALL ME GINGER probably did well to come from so far back to land the Ayr Bronze Cup last week so is fancied to make light of a further 3 lb rise and extend his winning sequence to 4. Mount Mogan will be a threat if he can reproduce his latest AW winning form back on the turf, while Never Dark wasn't too far behind the selection at Ayr and is another who could have a say.
