Jim Goldie seems to be having one of his best ever years and his ANNIBALE CARO could be worth a second look this afternoon. Although his chasing efforts have been fairly inauspicious in the past - he ran respectably in a claiming hurdle and was far from disgraced in a recent flat race at Carlisle. King Roonah unseated rider on his last visit to the track but Paul Carberry's booking has to go down as a positive. More Equity was easy to back at Carlisle and ran accordingly. Strobe won a much weaker race of this type last time out though Emotive is actually weighted to turn around the form in this renewal of rivalries.
