Oykel Bridge (13/8), My Mate Aj (7/4), Hercules Honour (7/1), Right Royal Rascal (10/1), Sky Grove (11/1), The Hostage (14/1), Bound For Glory (20/1), Tommy Tipa (20/1), Kappa Des Mottes (25/1), Jim Santiago Bowie (66/1), He's Tailor Made (150/1), Autumn Air (150/1)

MY MATE AJ was a shade disappointing at Lingfield last time but is well worth another chance based on the strength of his debut form. Oykel Bridge must enter calculations following an improved effort at Haydock, while Sky Grove makes some appeal on this switch to Rules having bumped into the promising Cosmic Connection on the second of his 2 starts in Irish points.
