Verdict
Tonto's Spirit has won around here but is a Cartmel specialist. Dr Sanderson’s form this year has left a bit to be desired but Fearless has generally taken well to fences and was returning from a lengthy absence when second at Uttoxeter. Going Mobile pops up every now and then and wasn’t beaten far last time at Market Rasen, though is 5lb out of the handicap. RESTANDBETHANKFUL has been dropped a couple of pounds having a first run for a new yard so gets a tentative vote, though Blueberry Wine goes well here while Aliomaana wasn’t disgraced at Stratford despite showing signs of inexperience.
