Verdict

The last time Cartwright ran on the Flat he scored at Kempton for Sir Mark Prescott. He's done very well for new connections over hurdles, winning a Listed race ar Navan in March, and has the scope to do even better. Song Of Namibia last won at Bellewstown a year ago and that was over 1m6f but he's been running well in better races than this and rates a threat. SHEBERGHAN won a Sligo maiden on just his second start before a superb effort in the Ulster Derby and a handicap mark of 85 looks lenient so he can make it two wins from four starts. Night Of Power is tackling the trip for the first time but came with a late surge to score over 1m2f at Naas so shouldn't have a problem staying.
