Verdict
Sumkindofking beat Cheltenam De Vaige three lengths at Andoversford earlier this month but this is a much more competitive affair. Mighty Stowaway finished an honourable third in the big one at The Festival here last month and Fifty Shades was third in this last year. CARYTO DES BROSSES (NAP) hasn’t had much racing since only beaten a neck in this contest in 2019 but has won his last three between the flags and has a terrific overall strike-rate under Dale Peters. He shouldn’t be far away again while Geordie B followed up a second to Dolphin Square at Newbury with a win at Carlisle. A spell hunting has revived Dandy Dan but he was suffering a torrid time of it under Rules around this time last year.
