City Vaults has placed twice at Cartmel so far and has won on the Flat, as has Noble Anthem. The Mass Path has only placed once over hurdles in five attempts but is one of only two runners on today’s card for Charles Byrnes. Whozatgirl showed ability in bumpers but is having a first run for Lucinda Russell and jockey bookings suggest CAITHNESS is the stable’s first choice. He has been struggling to get home on softer going but could be a different proposition on this quicker ground.
