Charlotte Jones and James Moffatt are often a lethal combination around here and they look to hold every chance with C&D winner ZUMBI. The five-year-old is fancied to put a below-par performance behind him, with Tardree perhaps the best equipped to take advantage if he fails to fire. Bella Bliss ought to remain competitive having bolted up at Sligo recently, while Let Me Be shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Zumbi 2nd Tardree 3rd Bella Bliss

JOHNSON'S BLUE has been unstoppable of late and after bringing up the four-timer over 2m6f at this circuit, he can add another success to his tally. Tom Midgley's 5lb claim helps to offset a 10lb rise and that might prove vital as he goes past 3m for the first time. Liffeydale Dreamer has also been in good heart and must feature prominently in calculations, along with Jony Max, who returns to hurdles and is able to compete from 5lb lower than his chase mark.
Prediction : 1st Johnsons Blue 2nd Liffeydale Dreamer 3rd Jony Max

A C&D winner on his latest outing in this sphere, GLAN Y GORS looks more than capable of doubling the dose from a 4lb higher mark. Mark Weatherer's charge could still have more to offer over the larger obstacles having had just six starts, though he's likely to face stiff opposition from Getaway Jewel and Ardera Cross. Dicey Rielly hit the crossbar at Bangor and would hold every chance if producing a similar display on his fencing bow.
Prediction : 1st Glan Y Gors 2nd Getaway Jewel 3rd Ardera Cross

The form of JERRYSBACK's Summer Cup victory looks strong, with the second and third having won since, and the fact he struck here on his penultimate start only adds to his claims. The 10-year-old remains well handicapped on old form and is preferred to course specialist Rapid Flight, who comes here in search of a four-timer. The Vollan was caught out in a tactical race at Worcester last week and better can be expected.
Prediction : 1st Jerrysback 2nd Rapid Flight 3rd The Vollan

Dr Sanderson is bound to be popular following two comfortable successes here, but a further 3lb rise for his most recent victory makes life tougher. Preference instead is for fellow C&D winner SEDDON, who was narrowly denied here in May and looks an intriguing recruit to the shrewd John McConnell stable. Lermoos Legend is another who likes it at Cartmel and must be of interest on the step up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Seddon 2nd Dr Sanderson 3rd Lermoos Legend

16:35 Cartmel

The Churchill Lad won on the all-weather at Newcastle recently and has to be taken seriously, but Donald McCain has won two of the last three runnings of this race so knows the sort needed. He runs four-race Flat maiden ECLAIRANT LE MONDE following wind surgery, and in receipt of 7lb from all of her rivals, she could be the one. Golden Ticket travels over from Ireland and is another who has to be of some interest.
Prediction : 1st Eclairant Le Monde 2nd The Churchill Lad 3rd Golden Ticket

17:10 Cartmel

ANGE ENDORMI does have another 7lb from the handicapper after last month's triumph, but that came over C&D where he ran on to prevail by three lengths, with the third a long way adrift. As a six-year-old, he may have more to offer and could prove too strong for Bintheredonethat, who has his first run for new connections but may be better over further. Kilchreest Moon returns to hurdles off a lower mark and is worth a look.
Prediction : 1st Ange Endormi 2nd Bintheredonethat 3rd Kilchreest Moon
