15/2
Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Ripon in August. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 17/2) 14 days ago. Remains on a stiff-looking mark.

Latest win at Nottingham in May. 7/1, last of 11 in handicap at Newbury (5.2f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 14/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

11/2
Course winner. Latest win at Ripon in April. Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap (25/1) at Doncaster (5f, good) 20 days ago. Down 2 lb and this veteran is dangerous to discount.

3/1
Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good, 11/1) 7 days ago. Tongue strap back on and likely to find a few too good once more.

11/2
Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 10/3, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 11 days ago. Others are more appealing from a win point of view on this occasion.

8/1
C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in July. 10/3, good third of 10 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 41 days ago, not ideally placed. Evidently in good nick and she's a big player.

33/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. This 10-y-o hasn't won for 2 years and is probably worth taking on.

Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good, 5/1) 7 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would put this 11-y-o in the picture.

Forecasts

Mission Command (3/1), Copper Knight (11/2), Alligator Alley (11/2), Dakota Gold (11/2), Goyard (15/2), Emeralds Pride (8/1), Spoof (11/1), Sugar Hill Babe (12/1), American Bay (12/1), Ventura Express (16/1), Lexington Blitz (20/1), Curious Rover (33/1)

Verdict

EMERALDS PRIDE deserves plenty of credit for finishing as close as she did having encountered traffic problems when third at Beverley last time, and she will prove a tough nut to crack granted better luck-in-running here. Good cases can also be made for the veterans Dakota Gold and Copper Knight.
