ANGLERS CRAG lost his way last season but bounced right back to his best starting out for this yard when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Carlisle on return and is of firm interest now having won this race 2 years ago. This extreme test should bring out the best in Livin On Luco and Val Dancer and they head the dangers.
