      Verdict

      Vodka Wells may well reverse Cartmel running with Wisty on better terms if ridden closer to the pace. Martila was successful twice at Cartmel over the summer and Mardale is useful when not let down by her jumping. Ruacana was second off this mark at Huntingdon back in November but is having his first run for a new yard and may need further. LYRIC STREET was behind Wisty at Cartmel in August but produced a gutsy performance when rallying to beat Astaroland at Bangor and that attitude will stand him in good stead on the uphill climb to the finish here.
