Ainsdale^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 98| D

12/1

Useful operator, landing conditions event at Newmarket (6f, heavy) in October. Better for return when third behind El Astronaute at Chester in first-time cheekpieces but more on his plate now.

Form: 1/441-83

(3)

Jabbarockie¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Harrison Shaw| T: E J Alston| OR: 100| CD

9/1

Better than ever at the age of 8, arriving here having landed 5f handicaps at Musselburgh/Chester in recent months. This his toughest task to date but no surprise to see him give a good account.

Form: 6365-11

(6)

Declaring Love³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: J Butler| OR: 94| D

10/1

Proving a real success story for new yard this year, making it 3 wins from 4 starts when landing Bath listed event (5f) in April, battling well. Does have her work cut out on these terms, though.

Form: 26-1411

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 109| C| D

Smart filly who ran a cracker when second in Flying Five at the Curragh in September. Good fifth in Prix De L'Abbaye final start and considered on return with conditions no problem.

13/2

Did well to hold Keep Busy in York handicap (5f) in August and signed off with a good fourth in the Prix De L'Abbaye. Never on terms in Duke of York on return but best efforts have come at this trip.

Form: 8/6134-0

Forecasts

Liberty Beach (13/8), Keep Busy (5/2), Que Amoro (4/1), Lady In France (13/2), Jabbarockie (9/1), Declaring Love (10/1), Ainsdale (12/1)

An interesting renewal of this Group 2 contest with the vote in favour of KEEP BUSY. A winner at Hamilton in August, she acquitted herself with plenty of credit in Group company thereafter. Her dam won this in 2009 and conditions look ideal. Stablemate Liberty Beach and Que Amoro head the dangers, whilst Lady In France is a player also.
