Verdict
A few of these have been expensive to follow but Themanfromcarlisle is given another chance to redeem himself on this more suitable course. He was never travelling as well as his rivals when finishing fourth to Ballyvaddy at Ludlow when he was last seen out, but had previously shown that he possesses a fair amount of ability when bouncing off the fast ground at Fontwell in his previous outing. This left-handed course should see him in a better light this evening and, with his stamina already proven, he is taken to hold of the inconsistent Paynestown Lad and We'll Make It in the closing stages. Nemisto and Blackchurch Mist will have their supporters but are not ones to rely upon too heavily.
