Wreck It Ryley¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: S A Gray| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 67| D

5/2

13/2, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago, well positioned. Should be in the mix once again up just 2 lb.

Form: 296531

Headabovetherest¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

18/1

10/3, tenth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, slowly away. Best effort so far was at Newcastle and he'll be of greater interest when returned to the AW.

Form: 6-09720

Keep Me Stable²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 61

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 26 days ago. Looks up against it.

Form: 599-97

Rwenearlytheredad¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 60

16/5

Latest win at Doncaster in June. 9/2, length last of 5 to Wreck It Ryley in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Weakened in the closing stages that day and may last longer now switched to a sharper track.

Form: 611645

Cuban Rock^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| C

11/4

Course winner in July. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 12/1) 17 days ago, going off too hard. Better than the bare result on that occasion and likely to be thereabouts under stronger handling here.

Form: 468127

(4)

Ledger^p1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: Paul Traynor| OR: 58

25/1

80/1, twenty-first of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft) 22 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time, this Irish raider is probably worth taking on.

Form: 0060-00

(9)

Mai Alward^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: T Davidson| OR: 54

11/1

Blinkered for 1st time, third of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago. Better though that effort was, she still looked rather hesitant and, moreover, she's yet to shine on turf.

Form: 1-87003

(5)

Secret Joy^v1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 49

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Good seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 16/1) 25 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time visor helping to spark some improvement here.

Form: 09-837

(3)

Doon The Glen¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 28/1) 17 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly back up in trip. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Cuban Rock.

Form: 06547

Forecasts

Wreck It Ryley (5/2), Cuban Rock (11/4), Rwenearlytheredad (16/5), Secret Joy (17/2), Mai Alward (11/1), Headabovetherest (18/1), Doon The Glen (20/1), Keep Me Stable (22/1), Ledger (25/1)

CUBAN ROCK ultimately paid the price for setting a ferocious early pace when giving way inside the final furlong at Ayr 17 days ago. He was in good form here prior to that and is taken to resume winning ways. Rwenearlytheredad was only fifth in the Ayr race won by Wreck It Ryley recently but the outcome could be different this time, with Declan Carroll's charge likely to have a better chance of seeing this trip out round here.
