Seemingly So has been off the track for a while and Dee Star has done most of his winning at Cartmel. Cilluirid beat Croagh Patrick and The Cathal Don over 2m3f here four weeks ago but none of that trio are really proven over this trip. If the rains arrive, stamina could be at a premium and that would suit THE WREKIN. Alice Stevens has ridden the latter on a couple of occasions and her 7lb claim could be a plus today. Hardy Boy has his own ideas about the game but his yard is in great form and Beau Morgan claims 5lb.
