Verdict
Card Game makes plenty of appeal in this as she will have needed her comeback run at Kelso on going that wouldn’t have suited. Captain Brown returns from a lay-off and will be of more interest at Cartmel in the coming weeks while stablemate Golden Town has had more than enough chances but Or De Vassy arrives off the back of a win at Market Rasen, though hasn’t made much impression in handicaps so far. Pc Dixon and Suggestion have each-way claims from near the foot of the weights but RANDY PIKE created such a favourable impression here last month that it’s hard to imagine he won’t be a factor again, despite the quicker surface and drop in trip.
