Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr Alex Ferguson| T: I Jardine| OR: 67| D

9/4

Got a well deserved win on the board when winning an Ayr handicap over 1m2f on good ground earlier this month. Another bold show likely under 6lb penalty.

Form: 7-37331

Duke Of Yorkshire^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Mrs Emily Roberts⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66

7/2

Failed to build on an encouraging win in a Haydock handicap when well beaten at Ayr earlier this month off 6lb higher than his winning mark. Place claims in this company.

Form: 5069-17

Down Time^b³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 57

25/1

Appears to save his best for the AW and remains a seven race-maiden on turf. Looks up against it here.

Form: 09-9179

Royal Cosmic⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 56| C

11/10

Winning for the third time in her career when landing a 1m4f handicap here last week. Is not lumbered with a penalty for that win but ground is a major concern.

Form: 13-5541

Rock A Doodle Doo²⁹³

Age: 11| Weight: 9-10| J: Miss M Dabrowski⁽⁷⁾| T: S Regan| OR: 52

28/1

Last win came in 2012 and the Oratorio gelding now races off 37lb lower than his last winning mark. Hard to fancy.

Form: 979/508-

Forecasts

Royal Cosmic (11/10), Thorntoun Care (9/4), Duke Of Yorkshire (7/2), Four Kingdoms (7/1), Diamonds A Dancing (7/1), Down Time (25/1), Rock A Doodle Doo (28/1)

Four Kingdoms and Diamonds A Dancing could be the pair to take the field along in the early stages possibly setting the race up for the in form duo of last time out winners Thorntoun Care and the well-weighted ROYAL COSMIC who won a 12f handicap here earlier this month and can take advantage of a favourable weight difference. The Tim Easterby-trained Duke Of Yorkshire can hit the frame.
