Alpine Mistral^p,t¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: S L Keightley| OR: 84| DWS

12/1

One of the most progressive 3-y-os around last season, winning 5 of her 8 handicap starts. Has yet to fire this term but it would be no surprise were she to bounce back after a break/wind operation.

Form: 241-574

Flying West⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 78| D

7/2

Progressed well in second half of 3-y-o campaign and showed benefit of reappearance with a good third at Lingfield in May. Rare poor effort there 10 weeks later and can bounce back.

Form: 112-637

Professional Widow²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: R Spencer| OR: 82| D

3/1

Landed a Nottingham handicap in May and got back on the up when runner-up there on penultimate start. Respectable fourth upped in trip at this venue since and should remain competitive.

Form: 219624

Spirit Of The Bay¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 80| D

2/1

Is thriving at present and came from a long way back to complete the hat-trick in 1m handicap at Kempton 12 days ago. Will continue to give a good account.

Form: 7-68111

Crystal Casque¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Angus Villiers⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 75| C| D

9/1

Bounced back to form to pick up her first win in over a year at Kempton in August, but has struggled for consistency this term and wasn't in the same form there last time.

Improving steadily and overcame a steady gallop to gain her first win at Doncaster (1m) in July. May do better still.

Forecasts

Spirit Of The Bay (2/1), Professional Widow (3/1), Flying West (7/2), Madame Tantzy (9/2), Deep Sigh (13/2), Crystal Casque (9/1), Alpine Mistral (12/1), One Small Step (12/1), Fashion Free (16/1)

FLYING WEST still hasn't had much racing and it's worth remembering she progressed well in the second half of her 3-y-o campaign, so she's expected to bounce back from a poor showing at Lingfield in July with a bang. Alpine Mistral has a similar profile to the selection and could get back on track following a break/wind operation. Conversely, Spirit of The Bay is thriving and can't be ignored.
