Verdict

Paul Nicholls is a rare visitor to Cartmel and his Orbassa looks to be drinking in the last chance saloon here with a chase record that is hardly bet compelling and there are doubts about a few others also in the race. The Moffatt duo Bon Chic and Munsaab both need to bounce back from poor runs although that’s possible for the local trainer who has a good record here. The trainer/jockey combination of Peter and Sean Bowen have taken this race for the past two years and did so in 2015 with Forever My Friend who tries again here although this time around it’s off a 20lb higher mark. Alderbrook Lad is always respected around here but a chance is taken with BRAVE SPARTACUS under a fully professional handling for the first time in ages around a course that may well suit his front-running style.
  1. Brave Spartacus
  2. Alderbrook Lad
  3. Orbasa
