Jackhammer won the Carlisle Bell Consolation here 10 days ago and Global Spirit was sixth in the big race itself ahead of Arranmore. Strongbowe is starting to look well treated but DETECTIVE is a real course specialist and it would be no surprise to see Dianne Sayer’s gelding bounce back to winning ways dropped in trip ahead of Hello Zabeel and the three-year-old Jilly Cooper.
