Course form counts for plenty at Cartmel and KILVERGAN BOY can follow up the victory he posted last August. That he won was all the more remarkable as he had run just four days previously - unseating the rider when appearing to have a similar race at his mercy. Testing conditions suit and there are no stamina concerns. Melua Maid was probably held when she came to grief on her reappearance at Uttoxeter. She went into many notebooks after routing her field at Sedgefield and she may still open to progression. Areuwitmenow didn't show a great deal when tried on this surface in the past but the ultra-consistent Copper's Gold should run his race.
