Mia's Anthem won at Cartmel in July but has had five runs here without managing to get his head in front and the Irish raider may be worth opposing again given he's high enough in the weights at present and would have preferred a longer trip. Dystonia's Revenge has also won at Cartmel this summer but is hardly reliable and is another who is better over further. Manger Hanagment is hard to win with nowadays and steps back up in grade for this so we'll take a chance on KAI BROON, who has won over this course and distance and could be poised for a return to form having dropped down the weights a little lately.
