A race to savour, and a one which features a number of Carlisle specialists including the feasibly treated 2016 winner Carrigdhoun and the likeable Palm Grey. However, there are a few more progressive runners in the line up, and these include the front running Highlands National winner Boric, who faces competition for the lead from I JUST KNOW. Sue Smith's seven-year-old was firmly on an upward trajectory last season, and assuming he can maintain that progression from a rising mark, he looks like developing into a Borders National/Eider Chase contender. Although recent impressive Perth winner Ballyben is also on a similar upward curve, his younger, and perhaps more battle hardened rival has the most to offer going forward.
