22/1

Stormed clear to get back to winning ways at Hamilton last month. Not seen to best effect over 11f on AW since and likely he's still in form.

17/2

Third Haydock win of his career when seeing off 5 rivals last month. Creditable third back there since. Ought to be competitive again.

Amir Kabir⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: T E Whelan| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 82

7/2

No win this season but he has been largely consistent, running respectable for fourth at Newcastle (12.5f) 41 days ago. This longer trip is worth a go.

Monbaher^b⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dane O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 86| BF

3/1

Clicked with blinkers when winning first 2 handicaps. Given 3 months off since finishing last of 5 at Chester which suggests something may have come to light on the back of that tame display.

Form: 9-63115

Social City⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: A W Carroll| OR: 79| D

80/1

Prolific on AW at the end of 2021. Good second at Ffos Las in August but needs to shrug off a poor run back there since.

Alghazaal⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: M L W Bell| OR: 75| BF

16/5

Pretty useful for Kevin Prendergast in Ireland, although his very best efforts there came on Dundalk's AW. Worth keeping an eye on in the market now setting out for new trainer Michael Bell.

Form: 1-20048

Damned Elusive¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 78

10/1

Consistent sort who deservedly got her head back in front when seeing off 4 rivals at Ffos Las (2m) 17 days ago. That was a weak race, though, so she will ned a bit more off 3 lb higher now.

The Vegas Raider^v³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 78| D

12/1

Turf winner in April and added a couple of Chelmsford AW successes at the end of the summer. Was beaten 8 lengths into third back on turf at Musselburgh last time, though.

15/2

Second success when landing a 7-runner event at Newbury in July. Remained in form since, finishing third over 11.6f here on latest start. Steps up in trip here.

Forecasts

Monbaher (3/1), Alghazaal (16/5), Amir Kabir (7/2), Bascule (6/1), Nellie Moon (15/2), Dreamweaver (17/2), Damned Elusive (10/1), The Vegas Raider (12/1), Koeman (22/1), Social City (80/1)

MONBAHER has been given a break since his disappointing run at Chester in July and is taken to resume his progression as his win at Doncaster prior to that has worked out well. Bascule came good with a comfortable success at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago so he's feared most ahead of the reliable Amir Kabir, who could be suited by this trip.
