11/2
C&D winner. 18/5, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago. Had been in good order prior to that, so can't be fully dismissed.

17/2
Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago, running on. Gives his running more often than not but he's a tricky customer who is hard to win with.

Winner at Ripon in August. 2/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 12 days ago, slowly away. One to take seriously.

5/2
4-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 3/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago, going off too hard. Likely to be back on her game under professional rider, and should take a hand.

Forecasts

Spanish Hustle (9/4), Smart Lass (5/2), Blue Antares (3/1), Graces Quest (11/2), Golden Valour (17/2)

Verdict

BLUE ANTARES is going through a good spell and might be able to eke out a bit more improvement to resume winning ways at the likely expense of Spanish Hustle, who wasn't ideally suited by the way things panned out at Carlisle recently. Smart Lass is another one to consider.
