15/2

Has failed to see her race out in a pair of handicap chases at up to 21f since joining this yard. It remains to be seen whether this step back up in trip helps matters.

3/1

Gained a third chase win in 6-runner handicap at Southwell (3m) in June but needs to bounce back from a couple of lacklustre efforts since. The cheekpieces worn on his last 5 starts are discarded.

Form: 31-3146

Ryder's Rock^t⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Freddie Gingell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 84| C

4/1

Made a winning start to his chase career in 21f course handicap on reappearance in May. Only fourth of 6 in similar event at Fontwell (19.5f, good) 13 days later. Steps up significantly in trip after 11 weeks off.

Form: 3U4P-14

Firefly Lane^t³²

6/1

Course winner. Pulled up over C&D in June but looked to be going well when falling 5 out over a shorter trip here last month.

Form: 4033-PF

Blackacre^v1⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 68

6/4

Long-standing maiden but placed off higher marks over fences last season and can be very competitive if fully primed after 3 months off. A first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 23523-6

Forecasts

My Girl Katie (1/1), Blackacre (6/4), Cave Article (3/1), Ryder's Rock (4/1), Mini Fortune (4/1), Firefly Lane (6/1), Just A Memory (15/2)

If MY GIRL KATIE is over Monday's Stratford exertions she could take a bit of stopping under a penalty. Blackacre is 6 lb lower than when last seen over fences and could provide the main threat if reacting well to a change of headgear.
