Carbon Print has bit and pieces of form that would give him a chance but he's still a maiden after 23 career starts. Mossmann Gorge was last seen running well on the track almost a year ago but he's only won once in 17 runs over timber while Decent Lord ran a shocker when favourite at Hereford earlier this month. It's almost three years since Little Bob won but he's dropped to a very fair mark as a consequence and must be considered and Youm Jamil will appreciate the quicker ground but this can go to MERIDIEM. Sean Regan's charge loves it around here and has gained both of his victories over the C&D on fast ground so, with conditions in his favour and sure to be better for a recent blow at Sedgefield, he can return to winning ways.
