Verdict

Commanche Falls came here three weeks ago for his debut and defied inexperience to beat the well-supported Clay Regazzoni comfortably. There's likely to be more to come so it will be a surprise if he doesn't go close despite a penalty. Spygate was beaten just over four lengths into fifth and will have learned plenty and Danny Tudhope keeps the ride with Paul Hanagan on board the stable's Naseeb, a cheaply-bought son of Elzaam. HARRY LOVE will be receiving 12lb from the top weight with his jockey's claim taken into consideration. Ollie Pears' charge made a very encouraging debut here last month when only caught close home after leading over 1f out and should have come on enough to land this. Kayewhykelly wasn't far behind in third, staying on when the race was over, while Moonlighting showed the benefit of her run at Redcar with a better effort at Carlisle though will need to step up a gear.
