Macho Mover won over track and trip at the start of the month but STORM LORENZO led halfway up the run-in that day and is 5lb better off so may well turn the tables. Lady Bowes will strip fitter for a third at Hexham and is respected but Charm Offensive finds little off the bridle and continues to frustrate. Last month’s Carlisle winner Stolen Money is preferred to Storm Tiger of the others.
