Ryedale Racer beat an odds-on favourite at Carlisle last month on his sixth start over timber but is going to find life tougher under a penalty from now on. Kalaharry was third in a maiden here last month while The Bay Oak and Chu Chu Percy are both winning pointers. WILLIE BOY has also been successful between the flags and was impressive at Athlacca in May. He is by Tikkanen who has sired some useful jumpers and, though he'll do better over fences, can make a winning start under Rules.
