ERIC CARMEN (3) arrives unbeaten this year. Bids for a hat-trick with a 0. 75L victory contesting a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Wetherby preceding a 1. 25L success in this handicap chase level over 2m3f at Market Rasen seventeen days ago. Leading player. RIVER RUN FREE (2) scored by 2. 5L tackling a 2m7f handicap chase at this venue prior to a heavy ground third attempting 3m at Ffos Las a fortnight ago. Ticks plenty of boxes. BEGIN THE LUCK (1) won or placed six times from the last seven starts. Ran with credit last month when fifth in a 2m heavy going handicap chase at Wincanton. Might feature. JACK DOYEN (5) rates next best.
