A field of 16 plus one emergency have declared for Saturday’s Group 1 Northerly Stakes (1800m) at Ascot.
Last start Railway Stakes winner Watch Me Rock is one of three gallopers from the Grant and Alana Williams stable with Nash Rawiller taking over for the ride.
That’s because William Pike committed to ride three-year-old King Of Light for trainer Daniel Morton, who also has three in the race.
Ciaron Maher has sent Vivy Air over for the Group 1 feature with Ethan Brown in the saddle.
See below the full field for Saturday’s Group 1 feature.
