Verdict

A tricky race to call with two potentially useful geldings in Donna's Delight and UNCLE ALASTAIR trying to successfully concede penalties to the field, which includes likely improvers in Sweet As Candy, Ask The Tycoon and Shepherd's Bight. The vote goes to the Nicky Richards-trained five-year-old, who beat a some previous winners at Carlisle last time and has winning form at this venue.
  1. Uncle Alastair
