The hat-trick seeking Gamesome is only up 2lb for completing a double when beating Afandem a head with Suwaan not far behind at Carlisle but it's very difficult to win from the outside here unless the ground turns soft. The runner-up has an inside berth and has since been narrowly beaten on the same track, with Red Pike behind, so should reverse the places. GINGER JAM has come with a late burst to complete a course and distance double so stall 8 shouldn't be too much of a problem. He's up 8lb so this is tougher but he gets the vote over Debawtry, a close third in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster on Saturday.
