Verdict

Carlisle specialist Detective has found one too good at the latter track on his last four outings and looks worth taking on again with TEMPER TRAP. The latter is not the most consistent but both recent wins came over course and distance and he’s only 2lb higher than when last successful if Ella McCain’s allowance is taken into account. Hot Team has plenty to find with the selection while Equidae’s earlier win came over 7f at Ayr so Ralphy Boy Two is preferred over this longer trip.
