Verdict

SERGEANT MAYER is thriving at present, completing the hat-trick with a bit to spare at Redcar last week, so a penalty might not prevent him from scoring again. Dc Cogent is also in good heart having dropped in the weights and is the pick for second, ahead of Cotai Starlight.

1	Capitalised on his reduced mark at Nottingham in August and followed up at Leicester, before also scoring in decisive fashion at Redcar 8 days ago.

7	Sole success came in a C&D maiden last spring but has made the frame several times in handicaps this year, racing off a career-low mark when second of 13 at Redcar 16 days ago.

8	Much improved when getting off the mark at Ayr (6f) in July and has placed over 5f at Carlisle on last 2 starts, sticking to her task when third of 12 on latest outing.
