Verdict
MICHAELS DREAM can see off Kinfayre Boy and Black Mogul. The previous course winner has proved a tad disappointing this season but as a consequence, he is now back to a feasible enough mark and he did run well in the equivalent contest last year off a 7lb higher mark. Kinfayre Boy won a selling chase at Kelso earlier in the month. He is likely to be held off the pace and is actually a far better hurdler than chaser. Black Mogul had bits and pieces of form for Sue Smith. He is another to have gone well at this venue in the past. Maidstone Mixture has given connections a few big days out and this represents a more realistic level. Wizards Dust has failed to hit the mark over chase fences and drops down to the hurdles today. Pay On should appreciate the going though the issue of the trip is a major question mark. Businessmoney Jake is consistent and while not quite as good as he once was, he will give his supporters a good run for their money. Course form counts for plenty at Cartmel and Michaels Dream is our call.
