HORATIO CARTER is worth sticking with here. He ended a long losing run at Thirsk last week on his first start for David O'Meara and has won off much higher marks in the past. He's taken to follow-up as he had previous Carlisle scorer Silly Gilly well behind last time and recent Redcar winner Whispered Times has yet to score off today's new mark. Edas has claims back at today's trip after his third over 1m2f at Redcar, while both Brockfield and Social Rhythm showed a bit more when placed on their latest starts and could figure.
