14:15 Kinbara

This appears to be a straightforward match between Jeepydoff Meel and the recent Wexford scorer KINBARA. The selection, who represents County Meath handler John McConnell, is fully proven in terms of stamina, so receives a confident vote.

14:50 Horn Cape

Ben Haslam and Milton Harris are both doubly represented. Monday’s Newton Abbot scorer Call Me Rocky rates as the pick for Harris, while HORN CAPE looks best for Haslam. He didn’t necessarily have things in his favour when thwarted in a hat-trick bid at Ffos Las but should relish the return to softer conditions under Rachael Blackmore. Gaius and Yukon are others to consider.

15:25 Name In Lights (NAP)

A fitting seasonal highlight for Cartmel. Judicial Law (second choice) has been given a break since notching back-to-back wins and makes appeal in the hands of a promising 7lb claimer, while last year’s winner Johnson’s Blue, and the lowly weighted Songo are others to consider. However, NAME IN LIGHTS (nap) impressed on his return to hurdles at Newton Abbot, travelling smoothly and winning with a fair degree of authority.

16:00 We’ll Go Again

Hungry Tiger (second choice) displayed a willing attitude over 2m5f here last time, so there’s every chance he’ll have a say from a 4lb higher mark, while last year’s winner Glan Y Gors possesses related C&D form with Ardera Cross and Tonto’s Spirit. However, in an open race, a chance is taken that the lightly raced chaser WE’LL GO AGAIN can reverse Market Rasen placings with Ensel Du Perche.

16:35 Croagh Patrick

It is fair to say that CROAGH PATRICK has some quirks, but he’s pretty consistent overall, and he did travel with purpose in first-time blinkers (retained) at Market Rasen. With just a slight ground question mark over the form pick Post No Bills, Sam England’s 8yo could well get the job done on his first visit to this popular Lake District venue.

17:10 Whataboutyeh

There were mitigating circumstances when WHATABOUTYEH was below form over hurdles last time, with that race coming just a few days on from his previous C&D chase win. Sam England’s charge had the measure on an in-form Lights Are Green here three weeks ago, and might prove strong enough to confirm that superiority on 6lb worse terms.
