Sam's Call^v⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 64| D

16/1

Capitalised on drop in grade when off the mark in first-time visor at Beverley (5f) in August. Struggled at Haydock next time and whilst this is more suitable, he's unproven on soft ground.

Amasova⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 63

14/1

No impact in a couple of runs on AW in February/March and fared no better back from 6 months off at Kempton (6f) in September. Has since switched yards, so interesting if market vibes are positive.

Form: 032-458

Helvetian^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 62| D

7/1

Well below form first 2 starts this season but bounced back to form on back of a wind op to score at Redcar (6f) last month. Unpenalised for that success and claims if holding it together.

Form: 097-891

14/1

14/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. First run since leaving Rod Millman when tenth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft, 16/1) 15 days ago. Possible he'll be sharper here.

11/2

Winner at Beverley (5f) in August and seen to good effect when following up at Catterick (5f) 8 days ago, never far away from favoured near-side rail. This tougher in hat-trick bid.

40/1

Latest win at Southwell in April. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, soft) in June, no threat operating from miles out the weights. Break may have perked him up.

4/1

Respectable 2¼ lengths third of 15 to Zoom Star in handicap (7/2) at Catterick (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Goes well with give underfoot and possibilities from this sort of mark.

Forecasts

Captain Corcoran (4/1), Zoom Star (11/2), Helvetian (7/1), Refuge (8/1), I'm Mable (11/1), Amasova (14/1), Company Minx (14/1), Toptime (14/1), Tomahawk Ridge (16/1), Sam's Call (16/1), Secret Potion (16/1), Mansfield (18/1), Essaka (22/1), Lucia Changretta (28/1), Shani (33/1), Moonraker (40/1), Silver Diva (50/1)

HELVETIAN's overall record is more miss than hit yet, on the back of a wind operation, returned to form to score at Redcar 9 days ago, staying on to lead close home. Unpenalised for that success, he could be worth chancing to back that up in a wide-open race. Captain Corcoran, from his reduced mark, and Secret Potion head the dangers. Company Minx and Zoom Star compele the shortlist.
