In depth
Verdict
Keep Me Stable landed a double over 7f here last month but was well beaten at Southwell last week. PEMBROKESHIRE won over the same distance at Musselburgh in October but looks worth another try over this longer trip back on this surface. Whatwouldyouknow, Cusack and Ledger have all won over course and distance this autumn while Enola Grey is usually in the mix without winning.
