The veteran of eight races, Chumbaa already has so much experience under her belt and her turn will surely come sooner rather than later. INDICATION SPIRIT made a debut full of promise when runner-up at Hamilton, though, and natural improvement may be enough to see her home in front. Grecian Princess is in with a shout if judged on her Doncaster fourth rather than her subsequent Hamilton failure.

Despite proving easy to back, INDICATION SPIRIT showed definite promise when runner-up to one with a lot more experience on debut at Hamilton 2 weeks ago and she could well be worth siding with to build on that now. Chumbaa has had a number of chances already but rates a big player on the back of last week's Carlisle second. Willolarupi wouldn't need to be any great shakes to play a hand on his debut, either.

Given her promising debut effort, INDICATION SPIRIT is the suggestion. Chumbaa has achieved a similar level.

SPANISH HUSTLE found 1m1f too sharp at Hamilton on his return to the level, but he put that behind him when upped to 1m3f at the same venue, accounting for a subsequent winner, and the extra yardage here can help him improve further. Spirit Of Ash also arrives in winning form, numbering Marcello Si among her Newcastle victims, although that did come out of the blue a bit and she isn't guaranteed to confirm the form. Tafsir completes the shortlist.

MARCELLO SI was beaten just under 4 lengths when fourth behind Spirit of Ash at Newcastle a fortnight ago but, as was the case on his seasonal reappearance at the same course in May, he was arguably sent for home too early. He meets that rival on 4 lb better terms back up in trip here and is taken to open his account at the tenth attempt. Spirit of Ash is respected nonetheless and is feared most ahead of Tafsir.

A weak contest where SPANISH HUSTLE (nap) looks capable of backing up his Hamilton win and defying a 3lb rise now upped again in trip.

All bar Castleberg Rock are previous C&D winners, including ON A SESSION, who had Manigordo back in third when landing this prize last year. He again had that rival behind him when successful here in April and will find this easier than the Epsom handicap he contested on Oaks day. Manigordo must not be dismissed lightly, arriving as he does on the back of a Beverley triumph. Gioia Cieca was behind On A Session and Manigordo in that April contest, but could close the gap in a first-time visor.

ON A SESSION wasn't at his best at Epsom on his latest outing, yet he's produced some of his very best efforts over this C&D and he's worth siding with to get back to winning ways. Autumn Festival will find this less demanding than his latest Sandown assignment and the assessor is slowly relinquishing his grip. Beverley-scorer Manigordo can also figure.

There is a good chance the front-runner AUTUMN FESTIVAL will enjoy an uncontested lead. On A Session is feared most.

How Bizarre did it nicely over a mile at this track on his latest outing and he can get in contention once more off 4lb higher, but the vote goes to TACITUS. He was victorious by a length and a half last time at Redcar in this grade and, with the extra furlong unlikely to pose any problems, he can go in again. Shine On Brendan is a consistent performer and his time could be near, so he is one to watch out for.

CHINESE SPIRIT chased home How Bizarre here last time and the pair may well dominate once more. The former is marginally preferred having conceded first run on that occasion, with recent Redcar-winner Tacitus the pick of the remainder.

An open contest in which Jim Goldie is mob handed and one of his runners, AYR POET, is of greatest interest.

GLORY FIGHTER went from pillar to post last time at Catterick when sporting first-time cheekpieces and he was rightly hit with an 8lb rise. Given the manner of the win, that hike in the ratings may not be enough to prevent the seven-year-old from making it a double. Copper Knight was a disappointing favourite last time as he finished last of eight, but his mark continues to drop, which gives him a chance. Venturous is more than capable at this level as well.

COPPER KNIGHT has failed to build on his encouraging reappearance in 4 subsequent starts but it would be no surprise were he to bounce back having dipped to a career-low mark. The 9-y-o has most to fear from Glory Fighter, who did the job well in first-time cheekpieces at Catterick last month and an 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid. Khabib will also be a threat if ready to roll following a 3-month break.

Musselburgh has brought out the best in ROCK MELODY since she joined Jim Goldie and she is selected to follow up her recent C&D win.

Bonito Cavalo has been sent off at fancied odds on each of his last three starts and has failed to justify that support, but he is more than capable at this level. However, preference is for GOLDEN PROSPERITY, who was just over three lengths clear of the third last time at Ripon in a class 6 handicap and he can go one better to finally shed his maiden tag. Iconicdaay completes the shortlist.

GULLANE ONE went off too hard at Ripon last time but should have more in his favour from a high draw, so he may well prove difficult to peg back. Bonito Cavalo had an excuse last time and had been in good form previously, so he's another one to consider. Golden Prosperity is a likely player, too.

This could be a good opportunity for recent Ripon runner-up GOLDEN PROSPERITY to post his first win. Bonito Cavalo is a danger.
