A high quality race for a Monday, so full marks to the Carlisle executive for offering up such a contest. 2017 winner
Nuts Well is a hardy type who managed to overcome a mistake before seeing off the subsequent Ascot scorer Vosne Romanee on seasonal return at Kelso, so he enters the equation despite the concession of plenty of weight.
One For Billy is on a retrieval mission following his Cheltenham misdemeanours, whilst the likes of
Highway One O One and
Chesterfield will be winning races over fences in lesser grade. Therefore, the pick is the top-rated
DOLOS. He represents a bang in-form trainer with a stunning Carlisle strike-rate since 1991 (5-12; 42%).
