Verdict

The trip just shy of 6f at Carlisle stretched THORNABY PEARL on his latest start in May and he is of strong interest off this reduced mark back at the minimum trip. The Adrian Nicholls-trained 7-y-o shades preference ahead of Happier, who did the job well at Catterick last week and a 5 lb penalty looks more than manageable. Sixcor was just behind stablemate Hard Nut last time, but a role-reversal is anticipated here and he is third choice.

  1. THORNABY PEARL
  2. HAPPIER (IRE)
  3. SIXCOR
