Heross Du Seuil had the best part of two and three-quarter lengths to spare when he fended off Sacchoandvanzetti at Uttoxeter last month. However, a 6lb swing at the weights hands the advantage over to the latter in that personal battle. Nevertheless, the lightly-raced KINGSTON BRIDGE shades preference over the pair based on his scope for improvement and, from a potentially very lenient mark, the Ewan Whillans-trained gelding can use this as a stepping stone to bigger things.
Prediction : 1st Kingston Bridge 2nd Sacchoandvanzetti 3rd Heross Du Seuil

Western Zephyr bounced back from a couple of modest runs at a higher grade when landing a novice hurdle at Huntingdon in April and is noteworthy back in a handicap at this level. Fringill Dike also commands respect given he won his last three starts in a progressive manner and has more to offer. However, SNAKE ROLL gets weight from his two main rivals and, having finished third in a Grade 2 on his penultimate start, this looks well within his compass.
Prediction : 1st Snake Roll 2nd Western Zephyr 3rd Fringill Dike

A typical novice error ended EASTER JUNCTION's chance when he unseated rider in a similar race at Bangor 15 days ago, but he was very much in contention at the time and should have learnt plenty from the experience. This is no deeper and the five-year-old can make amends if his jumping holds together. Cabhfuilfungi, who landed a Southwell maiden hurdle when last seen, is feared most, while previous point-to-point winner Making Headway is noteworthy on his Rules debut.
Prediction : 1st Easter Junction 2nd Cabhfuilfungi 3rd Making Headway

Land Genie has to be of interest after winning his sole bumper at Huntingdon in April and he is certainly one to watch here on his hurdling bow. That said, it might be worth giving SUPREMELY WEST another chance. The winner of three bumpers, he was sent off odds-on for his hurdling bow at Warwick when failing to jump with any fluency before finishing second, but he is sure to have been well-schooled since and may do better now. Titan Discovery and Fizzle Rock are others to watch in a race that could be full of future winners.
Prediction : 1st Supremely West 2nd Land Genie 3rd Titan Discovery

15:35 Carlisle

Court Dreaming won this last year when landing the odds for favourite backers and races off the same mark. Although he has raced three times without success since, they have all been over hurdles and the return to fences might see him in a better light. However, WASDELL DUNDALK is hard to oppose after landing his hat-trick easily at Perth last month, with an added 6lb unlikely to stop a follow up victory. Guetapan Collonges, Ned Tanner and East Street could all have a say on their return to action.
Prediction : 1st Wasdell Dundalk 2nd Court Dreaming 3rd Guetapan Collonges

16:10 Carlisle

Burrows Hall deserves a second look as a C&D winner in April, but he is 4lb higher in the handicap now and the Sue Smith stable are yet to hit top gear. Vocal Duke could bounce back if the drop in class and first-time cheekpieces bring out the best in him, but KILBRAINY could be the one. An easy winner at Kelso over further on his return, he may get a fast run race to allow his stamina to kick in and as the only recent winner here, a good run seems on the cards.
Prediction : 1st Kilbrainy 2nd Vocal Duke 3rd Burrows Hall

16:45 Carlisle

Massini Man bolted up by 11 lengths when last seen in January at Musselburgh, but that was over 3m, so this represents a big drop in distance, which opens the door for NETYWELL. The six-year-old was only denied by a neck over C&D in March and he was only raised 1lb for that effort, so he could take full advantage of this drop in class. Missed Tee is also of interest on her chase debut after undergoing wind surgery since last seen.
Prediction : 1st Netywell 2nd Massini Man 3rd Missed Tee

17:20 Carlisle

Cracking Rhapsody accounted for his nearest rival by just over a length on his second start under Rules at Perth and he is likely to put in a bold display in the attempt to carry a 7lb penalty to victory. However, preference is for GET A SUPERSTAR, who finished fourth at Tipperary in May before changing hands for 27,000 pounds, and the son of Getaway could make a winning start for the Dr Richard Newland stable. Any market confidence behind Rula Bula on her first outing would also be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Get A Superstar 2nd Cracking Rhapsody 3rd Rula Bula
