Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: N Wilson| OR: 66| CD

Prestbury Park³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 65

5/1

Dangerously handicapped at his best and is effective over both 5f and 6f; improved showing last month at Beverley after a wind operation, should go well again in this line-up.

Twentysixthstreet^b¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: Andrew Hughes| OR: 66| C

13/2

Broke maiden here in July over 6f at odds of 33-1, well held next time from increased mark, May not have stayed since at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) but will still need improved showing to win this.

Form: 641591

Burmese Blazer^p1⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: P Mathers| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58| D

7/1

His second at Musselburgh (5f) in June offers the best bit of form recently but struggling since. Did some good late work at Ayr on Friday and may improve with fitting of cheekpieces.

Kenny The Captain¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56

4/1

Has been searching for career win number 10 since September 2017. Recent runs at Thirsk and Carlisle (both 6f, good to soft) have offered some hope it might soon come from much-reduced rating.

Form: 348763

Rickyroadboy^v1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: A Mullen| T: M Walford| OR: 55

11/1

Runner-up over this trip on quick ground at Pontefract in May, rated 67 at the time, but hasn't beaten much home in five runs and tough to put faith in now.

Form: 265698

Forecasts

Kenny The Captain (4/1), Prestbury Park (5/1), Fairy Stories (6/1), Twentysixthstreet (13/2), Burmese Blazer (7/1), B Fifty Two (9/1), Diamonique (9/1), Rickyroadboy (11/1), Marietta Robusti (16/1), Our Place In Loule (33/1)

Fairy Stories is much-respected having got up in the dying strides to win at Chester last time, though a 6lb rise does demand more now. Kenny The Captain has offered some encouraging signs in recent runs but preference is for PRESTBURY PARK. He went well on the back of a wind operation at Beverley last month and should be able to take advantage of a declining mark before long.
