Hidden Commander is 0-10 over timber but has won seven times over fences, including three times around here. Enemy At The Gate is 0-9 but will strip fitter for a fourth at Carlisle though CALL ME HARRY beat Haveyougotmymoney, who runs in the previous race, a shade cosily at Musselburgh and Patrick Wadge can utilise his claim in this. Boomslang was second over 2m5f here in May but has been off the track since pulled up at Perth the following month and Beat The Retreat and Ballin Bay have even longer absences to overcome.
