Run With Pride⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 60| D

5/1

Sprang a surprise on his Doncaster debut in May 2014 but has drawn a blank since. Well beaten on his return two months ago and hard to fancy at present.

Form: 75906-9

Billyoakes^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 60| D

10/1

Appeared to be finding his level last time and a further drop in the weights should put him in the picture. Remains an infrequent winner with a 4-44 record but he is overdue.

Fairway To Heaven²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 60| C| D

5/1

Behind Billyoakes at Chelmsford last time when the race was not run to suit. There are a few in this who like to press on so that is unlikely to be an excuse this time.

Noble Deed^p⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 60| CD

20/1

Better on turf nowadays but his last two runs were disappointing nevertheless. Given a short break since and has each-way claims if that has had a positive effect.

Kyllukey^v⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: J M Bradley| OR: 60| D

9/1

Both wins have come over 6f on AW tracks. Mark has slipped during an uncharacteristically quiet summer for the yard but the first time visor helped him last week. Potentially well-handicapped at present as he seeks to end an 18-race losing streak.

Exquisite Ruby¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: C Hills| OR: 60| BF

10/3

Just behind Evening Starlight at Lingfield last time and should do better over this longer trip on a stiffer track. Rider 2-7, with other five placed, for the stable at AW tracks this year.

Lucky Clover^p⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M S Saunders| OR: 58| BF

16/1

Admirable mare with a 5-32 record and handles any surface other than soft. Current mark is testing but yard could hardly be in better form and she has a nice draw.

Form: 057124

Fikhaar¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 59| D

4/1

Was allowed to dictate the pace to land a minor Chelmsford contest two weeks ago. Faces plenty of competition up front this time in a tougher race off a higher mark.

Frank Cool²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| BF| D

8/1

Winner of a poor race at Lingfield in April. A tendency to bleed has hampered his progress since but his last two runs indicate those problems are behind him for now. Runs to a consistent level but one which suggests he is a few pounds short here.

Form: 312023

Mags Well²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Keniry| T: G Deacon| OR: 59

50/1

Took a giant step backwards at Bath when the ground may have been a factor. Had the run of the race at Wolverhampton on penultimate start when Atlanta Belle was behind but unlikely to have that luxury this time.

Exquisite Ruby (10/3), Fikhaar (4/1), Atlanta Belle (4/1), Run With Pride (5/1), Fairway To Heaven (5/1), Evening Starlight (7/1), Frank Cool (8/1), Kyllukey (9/1), Billyoakes (10/1), Lucky Clover (16/1), Noble Deed (20/1), Mags Well (50/1)

There is plenty of pace in this which could set things up nicely for Silvestre De Sousa on board EXQUISITE RUBY. The filly finished with a good rattle last time and the extra furlong and strong gallop are going to assist. Kyllukey has strong place claims off this mark having signalled he was approaching his best last time. Fairway To Heaven will have this run to suit and Lucky Clover represents a yard who are enjoying a good run.
