Shine Away came good at Cartmel in August but was earlier well behind MISS CONWAY (NAP) over 2m here and is a pound worse off. Mark Walford’s mare has become a standing dish here and wasn’t beaten far at the track last time, despite a 9lb rise in the ratings. Tikkandemickey also runs his best races here but isn’t getting any younger and has been off since April. Forest Des Aigles has a similar absence to overcome but was progressive last season and still has plenty of scope. Munsaab won off a higher mark in May but tends to save his best for Cartmel.
