Kilfinichen Bay and Our Reward finished one-two at Cartmel last time but revised weights offer an excellent chance of revenge for the Snowden inmate. Both are in the forefront of any analysis but CHARLIE MON is preferred to both. Mike Hammond's consistent gelding is a course and distance winner, Charlie Hammond takes a further 5lb off his already attractive mark and he came up against a well-handicapped improver in Fifty Shades here last time. He can go one better. Guerrilla Tactics is also of interest as he has been bang in contention the last twice and should do so again despite being raised no less than 8lb for two placed efforts.
