Luna Magic¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: A Mullen| T: A Watson| OR: 75

12/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood (9f) in August. 9/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (9f) 11 days ago. Clearly in good heart but she's still to win beyond 9f.

15/2

Fifth of 13 in handicap (4/1) at Newmarket (9f, good) 11 days ago, keeping on final 1f without posing a win threat. Mark has eased a little more at least.

Barenboim²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 73| BF

7/2

2/1, creditable 2 lengths second of 7 to Liberated Lad in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago, having run of race. Still, a repeat gives him claims again.

Lord Torranaga³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 63| D

7/1

Latest win at Southwell (12f) in August. 11/2, below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (10.9f, good to firm) 21 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Good showing not ruled out.

Card High^t¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 8-9| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 58| CD

40/1

Left his reappearance effort in his wake when successful over 11f at Carlisle in May. Possible first start for 4 months was needed at Hamilton (12f) 10 days ago but he needs to step up to figure here.

Form: 149-510

Eye Knee^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: T Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 12/1, ran up to best when second of 6 in handicap at this course (13.9f, good to firm) 11 days ago, having run of race. Should give another good account for in-form yard.

Myboymax¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 64| CD

15/2

Landed back-to-back handicaps this summer, latterly a C&D event in August. Creditable placed efforts have followed, for all 14f possibly stretched at Musselburgh last time. Not discounted.

Liberated Lad^p,t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 63

15/8

Latest win at Windsor (11.5f) earlier this month. 4/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Merits consideration.

Liberated Lad (15/8), Barenboim (7/2), Lord Torranaga (7/1), Myboymax (15/2), Kryptos (15/2), Eye Knee (10/1), Luna Magic (12/1), Card High (40/1)

A number arrive in good heart and it may pay to side with one of the 3-y-os in the shape of LIBERATED LAD. A winner at Windsor on his penultimate start, he lost little caste in defeat when edged out late in the day at Hamilton 10 days ago and he looks sure to go well again. Myboymax returned to 1½m and Eye Knee eased in grade/trip head up the dangers.
