Ballybogey, Fascino Rustico and Fourth Estate all have a bit to prove at present but there are possibilities about Carlisle winner Just Cameron.

IT'S A MANS WORLD has been dropped a further pound since a fair fourth at Stratford. The eight-year-old still has a decent turn of foot and could be the value in this under a 10lb claimer.
