LILYWHITE GESTURE has been much improved since she joined the yard of Gordon Elliott and she may have found 2m6f around Cartmel too sharp for her, especially as she was victorious over 3m2f at Sedgefield the time before. The consistent What A Game could prove to be the main danger to the selection, although Breezy Kin and This Thyne Jude cannot be discounted following encouraging performances last time.

Another chance can be given to SON OF MY HEART, who did not run too badly at Kilbeggan last time but more would have been expected. On his last start here, in July the 11-year-old only found one too good for him over 2m4f and he arrives here 3lb lower in the ratings today. The likes of Mo Rouge and Shaiyzar are not particularly reliable but they are capable of going well if at their very best, while Solway Sam makes the shortlist following his win here a couple of months ago.

In a moderate event the marginal preference is for TRESPASSED, who put in an encouraging effort when second at Roscommon at the beginning of last month. Since then he has been beaten in two other events in Ireland but they were both significantly stronger than this contest. Stone Quercus has yet to show much in three starts over hurdles but he did go well on the Flat a couple of weeks ago. Andratx and G'day Aussie both have plenty to find but the latter would be the pick of that pair.

Plenty of these have chances but none more so than ENDEAVOR, who has a 7lb penalty for his clear-cut success at Cartmel a week ago. The veteran is clearly in fine form at the moment as it was only three starts ago that he won by 10 lengths at the same track. Wot A Shot has put in four fine efforts since returning from a lengthy break, including two second-place finishes over this C&D. Kumbeshwar and Theflyingportrait can also go very well.

GREEN ZONE romped home by seven lengths over track and trip in July and although he was held off 7lb higher last time and has a further 4lb rise to contend with here, he's expected to give a good account of himself at a track he clearly relishes. Donna's Pride steps up in trip after failing to justify favouritism when second over 2m1f at Cartmel and has place claims along with Chain Of Beacons, who was well behind the selection latest but is open to improvement on his second start for Iain Jardine.

Old Storm has only had the one start for Brian Ellison and is worth monitoring closely in the betting on his return from a 289-day break but preference is for NO SUCH NUMBER, who has the benefit of a recent run under his belt, having finished a fair fourth off 4lb higher over track and trip in June. Strobe drops back from 3m and is worth a market check, while Drumlang could leave behind his recent efforts now first-time blinkers are applied.
