Three Saints Bay³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91| CD

12/1

Soft-ground winner at Thirsk last season. Below par in 2 runs since Musselburgh third in July but well treated if bouncing back to form.

Hayadh²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 87| C| D

12/1

Enhanced good record fresh when making successful return over 8.5f here in June but not in the same form when only ninth at Thirsk 7 weeks later. Return to this venue needs to spark him back to life.

Form: 0668-19

Presidential¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 87| D

16/1

Successful reappearance at Doncaster in June. Bit of a mixed record since and remains 3 lb above his last winning mark.

Form: 7-16379

(9)

Asdaa¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 85| D

33/1

Dual AW winner over 7f at the beginning of the year. Below par since good third at Newmarket in June but horses from this yard can bounce back to form out of the blue.

Form: 535506

Shawaamekh^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll| OR: 85| D

15/2

Hit the target twice in 2019 and has run creditable on 3 of his 4 starts this term, third of 11 at Chester (7f) on latest. Likely to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 86-5303

(4)

Harrison Point³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 88| D

4/1

AW novice winner who wasn't disgraced in some strong 3-y-o only handicaps prior to resuming winning ways at Ayr (7f, good to soft) last month. Only up 2 lb so should go well again.

Form: 1-15961

(7)

True Blue Moon^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79

25/1

Winner in Ireland last summer. Placed efforts at York and Chester on his last 2 starts show he's on a competitive mark. Likely to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 9-56933

(8)

Amaysmont³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 84

9/2

Carlisle maiden winner on 2-y-o debut. No better than sixth in 3 handicaps this season but they were all competitive 3-y-o only events and he may make more of an impact in these calmer waters.

Form: 12-606

(5)

Le Chiffre³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| BF| CD

10/3

Progressive, winning first 2 handicaps (C&D first occasion). Another good run when second over 8.5f here 34 days ago. Soft ground fine. Much respected.

Form: 424-112

(3)

Zip²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| D

5/1

Loves the mud, winning 7f Haydock handicap last month before finishing second at Catterick on Tuesday. Ought to go well again.

Form: 31-7412

The Great Heir²⁶

Weight: 9-3| Age: 4

T: K A Ryan J: K Stott

Forecasts

Le Chiffre (10/3), Harrison Point (4/1), Amaysmont (9/2), Zip (5/1), Shawaamekh (15/2), Hayadh (12/1), Three Saints Bay (12/1), Presidential (16/1), The Great Heir (16/1), True Blue Moon (25/1), Asdaa (33/1)

The horse HARRISON POINT beat at Ayr last time was successful back there earlier this week so a 2 lb rise may not prevent Archie Watson's charge going in again. Fellow 3-y-o Le Chiffre has done nothing wrong and can provide the chief threat ahead of Shawaamekh.
