Proper Ticket (5/2), Calle Malva (7/2), Blossoming Forth (9/2), Raddle And Hum (5/1), Chanting Hill (5/1), Bonny Houxty (18/1), Atlantic Dancer (25/1)

Proper Ticket is interesting with the champion jockey-elect booked but the forecast ground is a source of concern. RADDLE AND HUM went close over Christmas at Wetherby in a similar event and likely didn't get home since at Catterick. Back down in trip, she gets the nod though both Calle Malva and Chanting Hill are potential improvers.
