This won’t take much winning and Katalystic and Istimraar finished 1-2 in a similar contest here just under a year ago. The latter comes out best at the weights today but Cartmel winner Breaking The Ice will be popular with Dylan Hurst taking off 10lb again but he’s closely matched with Grumpy McGrumpface. Laura Morgan puts a visor on SEEMINGLY SO on his first run for the yard and it would be no surprise to see the eight-year-old take advantage of what looks a favourable mark.
