CRAFTED made all for a comfortable victory at Catterick last week and can carry his young rider to another victory despite a 6lb penalty as he's a lightly-raced and a progressive type. Connor Beasley is one of the more experienced riders involved and his mount Spirit Of Alsace must be respected as she followed her comfortable success over 6f on this track with a very good run over today's trip at Carlisle. Green Zone has yet to win but only faded close home over a mile at Thirsk last time, but Irish raider Helen's Armada would have more of a chance if the ground eased.
