Mambo Dancer is the dark horse coming into this on his handicap debut. He is definitely one to monitor in the market for a big stable and being aimed as low as this. Schmooze would appreciate more of a test and comes into this in good heart THORNTOUN CARE is much improved since the application of headgear. Iain Jardine's charge is a Carlisle winner and that form has worked out well enough to make him the pick here. Two defeats since have underlined he is holding his form and he has fewer question marks against him. Falcon's Fire would land this on his 2016 form but early season promise has given way to disappointment and the stable need to find a quick answer to last week's dismal effort.
