Cairnshill has won his last two and handles soft but he may not be suited by a drop in distance. Another recent Cartmel winner, Lord Wishes, has more on his plate today but ONLY ORSENFOOLSIES arrives off the back of a gutsy win on heavy going on the Flat and isn’t badly treated back over timber. He’s preferred to Lomachenko, having a first run for Stuart Crawford but the least exposed of these, and Newcastle runner-up Altruism.
