Beeno is back up in the weights and usually worth opposing away from his beloved Cartmel. Ardera Cross goes for the four-timer having won twice over fences and once over hurdles since the middle of July but ONE NIGHT IN MILAN made giant strides last autumn and would probably have won here in November but for falling. Raised 13lb and having a first run of the year, Keith Dalgleish’s inmate could still take all the beating as he may prove better than these in time. Morraman had put together a consistent sequence before a poor run at Southwell but may be ready for a rest. Ryedale Racer has ability but has been hard to train in recent years.
