Pump Road (3/1), Mon Storm (7/2), Roi De Dubai (7/2), Decor Irlandais (6/1), Fleurys Fort (8/1), You Can't Catch Me (8/1), Trendsetter (10/1), Graineyhill (25/1)
Although DECOR IRLANDAIS has plenty of weight the manner of his two recent victories at Cartmel suggest he is destined for better things and he is taken to land this contest in his stride against rivals who are not particularly well handicapped themselves at present. You Can't Catch Me won well last time out but has been done no favours by the handicapper and while he should run his race, he may have to settle for minor honours. By contrast, Graineyhill is now on a useful mark and if returning to the best of his form he could play a significant role in events.
