Verdict
IULUS is comfortably the pick on official ratings and will probably start a short-priced favourite. He's never raced on this sort of ground but providing he takes to the conditions should add to last year's Carlisle victory. What's The Point has run a couple of decent races on the all-weather since joining Ollie Pears and could provide the main threat as Praxios has shown his best form on Polytrack. Ollon looks best of the remainder.
