Baccalaureate is back in the right grade after his latest fourth over a longer trip here last month, while Lakeman caused an upset in a novice event at Cartmel three weeks ago. Both could figure but are conceding weight all round so this may develop into a match between Irish raiders ONE FOR JOULES and Fool's Wildcat. The latter has been struggling to get his head in front lately and was well beaten at Bellewstown last month so preference is for Shark Hanlon's four-year-old, who runs his best races for today's young claimer and was far from disgraced when fourth at Galway last time.
