Commanche Raider has posted a couple of improved efforts lately and looks likely to be thereabouts, while Sea Salt went close over 6f here last time and is worthy of consideration. Boundless Spirit has claims if a recent below-par run at Chester is ignored and Dispol Grand is another who could figure. HYPNOSIS doesn't have the best recent form but her win at Doncaster in July came in much better company and she's the one to beat if reproducing that form today. Lizzie makes most appeal of the remaining runners.
