Amilliontimes is more than capable in this grade but has never won off a mark this high and returns from a break. Achill Road Boy won over this trip at Carlisle in March but never looked like winning on a return visit to the Cumbrian track off today’s mark. Scotswell and Cobajayisland were first and third respectively in this two years ago but the latter may do best this time after a third over an inadequate trip at Southwell. PRETTY MISS MAHLER looks ready open her account over fences after a couple of places. She scored over hurdles at Cartmel last summer over a similar distance and seems to handle any type of going. Shake It Up is another proven stayer while Golden Investment is weighted to reverse last season’s Catterick form with Attention Please.
