Whinmoor won over 6f at Carlisle a fortnight ago but attempts today’s trip for the first time while though Erastus has been placed over 6f recently he also has something to prove judged on previous efforts at the distance. Christmas Night remains in good form having won at Beverley last month but REAL ESTATE has the most scope of these and with a recent reappearance at Yarmouth under his belt, James Tate’s colt may well come out best with improvement expected. Paparazzi and the returning Archie Perkins could also go well. 4.45
