It’s hard to be confident over Ilewin Geez after a poor run when favourite at Market Rasen, though he is surely better than that. Stay In Touch jumped poorly at Cartmel but led until close home. Keel Over and the mare Aine's Choice have both won between the flags and the former is interesting but another ex-pointer, SOME CAN DANCE, showed some ability on his debut under Rules and could be the value with that experience under his belt.
