Named At Dinner is the pick in the seller and he can take the spoils of Hill Forts Henry and Mister Chatterbox. Lucinda Russell's stable had a winner the other day and while Named At Dinner holds relatively few secrets, he will be assisted by rider Campbell Gillies being able to claim another 3lbs off as stable conditional. Hill Forts Henry has had a break. Granted, he is ordinary but Jimmy Moffatt's runners at Cartmel always have to be respected and he does at least know how to win. Mister Chatterbox started his career off with Philip Hobbs and will be making his first foray into plating class. Norminster is still a maiden but continues to go close. Sportula has course form so has to be respected accordingly. Sea Maize makes his first run under rules for almost three years having campaigned between the flags. Minniescottage looks modest but is a rare runner for Charlie Swan. Kinfayre Boy won a decent Sedgefield seller at odds of 50/1 and surprisingly didn't attract a bid. He has had a long journey up from the Isle Of Man to get here so lets hope he managed to dodge the Bank Holiday traffic jams. Rexmehead looks ordinary. A moderate race there for the taking and we believe that Named At Dinner can do exactly that.
