Both James Ewart and Nick Alexander are doubly represented, and as the previous race (first division) also demonstrates, opportunities for these young and inexperienced horses have been very thin on the ground in the North with a plethora of abandoned fixtures since early December. The market will be the best guide for this contest, with winning pointers
Black Pirate,
SHANTALUZE and
Hills of Connemara all noteworthy on their respective rules debuts; as is
Champagnendiamonds (furthermore so assuming Hitman Fred bolsters his form in the previous race).
Drenek should also be noted in the colours of Carlisle Racecourse Chairman James Westoll. However, small stakes are suggested on the Donald McCain trained Tinahely winner, with Brian Hughes booked for the mount.
