The final race of the 2022 Flat season can go to SAN AER. Tom Mullins' charge stayed on strongly to score over an extended mile at Galway on Monday and though 7lb higher can complete a quick double. Team Of Firsts won this on heavy ground last year and is just 2lb higher though he's finished last in his two recent runs. Dha Leath has already won three times this campaign and has continued to run well in strong handicaps while Boher Road and Vocal Studies make their handicap debuts after recent maiden victories. Mr Rango has gone up 13lb for landing a Curragh handicap so this looks tougher.
