Al Mubhir^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: W J Haggas| OR: 109| D

13/2

Consistent type who made the breakthrough at listed level at Sandown (1¼m) in July. Similar form when finishing close-up in pair of Group 3s subsequently but latest Newmarket run disappointing. Bounce back needed.

Grey's Monument²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 110| D

9/4

Smart performer who has been better than ever this autumn, defying a mark of 105 in an Ascot handicap before seeing off Northern Express in a Redcar listed race (both 7f). Has also won a listed event over this trip. Leading claims.

Form: 1-30311

Sparks Fly²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 103| D

9/2

Won 8 times in a remarkable 2023 campaign and underlined how effective she is on testing ground when making all in a French listed race earlier this month. Ought to give another good account with conditions to suit.

Form: 16-5571

Qirat²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 98| BF

9/4

Has landed 2 good prizes over 7f at Goodwood this year. Bumped into another progressive 3-y-o when second of 18 in the Challenge Cup at Ascot (7f, good) 25 days ago. Shapes as if he'll be equally effective at 1m. Can make his presence felt up in class.

Form: 2-16512

Canoodled³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: R Coakley| T: E Walker| OR: 87| D

40/1

Suited by a step up to 1¼m when landing a big-field handicap at York Ebor meeting but was back to her slow-starting ways when only seventh of 9 in handicap at Newbury (1¼m, soft) last month. Has a bit to find at this level.

Form: 700517

Miss Cantik^t1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Frederick Larson| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 99| D

17/2

Ploughed through the mud to land a 1m Leicester handicap in April. Close third of 9 in 1m Longchamp listed race (9f, heavy) 10 days ago. Regular hood not on this time. Ought to be on the premises.

Form: 0-13063

Times Edition¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 82| D

11/1

Pretty useful performer who made it ninth time lucky when easily making all in 1m Redcar novice 12 days ago. The switch to forcing tactics looked to really suit her but it'll be a lot harder to dominate this opposition.

Form: 4-62221

Grey's Monument (2/1), Qirat (10/3), Sparks Fly (7/2), Miss Cantik (5/1), Al Mubhir (6/1), Times Edition (33/1), Canoodled (33/1)

Ralph Beckett looks to hold the key to this listed race, with GREYS MONUMNENT taken to land a third win at this level at the expense of stablemate Qirat. Sparks Fly is another who knows what it takes to win in listed company and should also have a say on ground which suits her so well.
