Verdict

There are stamina concerns surrounding Carlisle winner Stopped Out, who likes to make the running. But he should ensure a strong gallop and that will suit MOYODE WOOD. Brian Ellison's charge is a pound out of the handicap but ploughed through the mud to win over 3m1f at Hexham 10 days ago and has conditions in his favour again. Ayr and Wetherby winner Ballyben will have to defy another 7lb rise in the weights if he's to complete the hat-trick while Straidnahanna has been a little disappointing so far.
