Dynamic Drive was put up 8lb for winning at Sedgefield two weeks ago, which seems harsh. Obispo seems to be running into form but we much prefer DR MOLONEY (NAP), who was far from disgraced when trying to give the promising Vengeur De Guye and previous winner Never Never weight over course and distance last time. There looks to be nothing between City Line and Pulpitarian on their 1-2 here in July but Cartmel second Amilliontimes looks to have too much weight.
