Muker²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 85| D

9/2

Latest win at Doncaster in July. Creditable third of 14 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 26 days ago, nearest finish. Couldn't rule out now eased in grade off the same mark.

Mon Na Slieve^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 84| D

4/1

Latest win at Ayr in June. 33/1, creditable fifth of 20 in handicap at York (5.4f, good) 34 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Cheekpieces back on and, though he remains 5 lb above his last winning mark, this 4-y-o merits respect.

Loom¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| D

6/1

18/1, fourth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Reigning Profit^v¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 83| D

14/1

Three wins from 14 runs this year, the latest at Pontefract in August. 33/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago, not ideally placed. Claims if he puts his best foot forward.

Cloud King^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 79| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford (5f, 4/1) 26 days ago. Remains feasibly treated up 4 lb and likely to give another good account.

Form: 5-74461

(7)

Alligator Alley⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 78| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Beverley (5f, soft) 6 days ago, running on. 1 lb below his last winning mark and it would be no surprise to see him take a hand in the finish once more.

Form: 865222

(6)

American Bay⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 77| D

11/1

Latest win at Thirsk in June. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at the same course (5f, good to firm) 46 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he's one to consider.

Form: 681072

Night On Earth^v¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 76| D

22/1

Won 8-runner handicap (11/8) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 17 days ago. This 6 lb higher may well find him out. Visor refitted.

Star Chorus^t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 74| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Chepstow in July. 9/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 24 days ago, slowly away. Likely to find one or two too good.

Forecasts

Alligator Alley (10/3), Mon Na Slieve (4/1), Muker (9/2), Loom (6/1), Star Chorus (13/2), American Bay (11/1), Cloud King (11/1), Reigning Profit (14/1), Night On Earth (22/1)

MON NA SLIEVE wasn't disgraced in a valuable York handicap last month and he could be the answer down 2 lb in this lower-grade race. Alligator Alley has been knocking on the door pretty loudly of late and another bold show is anticipated from Ruth Carr's charge, while American Bay went close at Thirsk last time and he also has claims, along with Muker, who was a good third over C&D last time.
