Ever So Much is a dual course winner and was in the mood when back to winning ways at Cartmel, though he is not normally one to rely on and has a penalty to carry. Motaraabet is unexposed and so is Missthecuddles while Emirat De Catana was in the process of running a decent race over fences at Perth when coming to grief. COURT BALOO seeks back-to-back victories in this and is back in the right grade. He should take all the beating again having had a couple of recent runs. Maison D'Or ran on the Flat twice in July so is also worth a second look.
