The Punt nap

Sing The Blues (4.45 Pontefract)

This lightly raced three-year-old is on a hat-trick. While this is a big step up in class, it's hard to know where her ceiling lies.

Handicappers' nap

America Queen (4.45 Pontefract)

Narrowly denied in the Nell Gwyn Stakes on her reappearance, and went close to matching that form when third in a Group 3 at York last month. That race has been working out nicely, and she looks the one to beat from a good draw.

Eyecatcher

The Pipeman (2.10 Curragh)
Natalia Lupini's juvenile shaped with a ton of promise when second of 17 on his debut at Navan last month, despite obvious signs of inexperience.

Speed figures

Legal Reform (3.40 Southwell)

Has been consistent on the all-weather this season, backing up those performances with some good speed figures. Just 2lb higher for his win over course-and-distance last time out, he can maintain that good form.

Dark horse

Alto Sax (2.45 Curragh) 

Has been in good form this season, winning at Fairyhouse in June, and was a good second at Leopardstown on his penultimate start. Finished a respectable fifth last time out at Killarney despite not getting the clearest of runs, and can be competitive once again.

Newmarket nap

Arabian Dusk (4.45 Pontefract)

Simon and Ed Crisford's filly is well forward for her belated reappearance and has worked well on the Al Bahathri of late.
