Carlisle third FLEMENSKILL can improve past the more-exposed Blue Bullet and give Warren Greatrex and Gavin Sheehan back-to-back victories in this bumper. Holryale has been placed between the flags while Jabulani has a NH pedigree. My Charity is by King’s Theatre and half-brother to a winning chaser while Richard Johnson rides Equus Amadeus for Tom Lacey so it would be no surprise to see a big run from that one.
