On A Session is a rare winner nowadays but gets little respite from the handicapper while Challet still looks a shade high in the weights judged on recent placed efforts. Toussarok placed at Brighton last week while Merricourt won at Ayr back in April but is now 6lb higher. Tommy G and GOMETRA GINTY (NAP) raced at the same Carlisle fixture last week when the former ran well over a mile and the latter scored over today’s trip. Keith Dalgleish’s mare remains on a winning mark, despite a penalty, and gets the vote having won here five times in the past.
