Jumping has become a problem for It's All An Act but Shark Hanlon's raider ahs won a couple of bumpers around here. Muwalla might need this and Sleep In First doesn't win as often as he should. CLARAGH NATIVE took too long to get going when only fourth last time at Cartmel but had Robin's Command well behind when scoring at Wetherby in May and, though worse off at the weights, can confirm running with that one and get back on track here. Koup De Kanon could be interesting now that Donald McCain's string is back in form.
