In depth
Verdict
EXOTIC GUEST returned to winning ways at Newcastle last time and remains on a winning mark despite a 4lb rise. He can confirm running with Jumbo Steps and go in again. Midnight Dynamo finished closer at Musselburgh last week but Goninodaethat failed to cope with a 6lb rise for winning over 7f here last time. Redcar winner Native Falls remains in decent form while Sleeper Class, Jamesbo's Girl and Go Go Green were all engaged to run at Carlisle on Saturday.
