Verdict

Reikers Island won one of these events at Cartmel last summer but hasn’t raced since while Moratorium landed a hat-trick between the flags but has yet to win over regulation fences and both of the above have plenty to find on these terms. Both Give Me A Copper and West Approach return from lay-offs so a chance is taken on KIMBERLITE CANDY returning to form at this lower level having failed to complete in last month’s Welsh Grand National.
