        Verdict

        We'll plump for CARTER with the combination of a tongue-tie and Shane Kelly likely to see a better run. Well-handicapped on a mark of 52, this Reset gelding is now 7lb lower than his sole win at Chepstow in June 2009. Philip Makin looks a good jockey booking for Bishop Rock, whilst James Pollard ran well off this mark at Nottingham last time out. Join Up is more consistent than many and his pilot knows him well, whilst Princess Aliuska's mark is back up to 50 after a Redcar selling win last month. Saving Grace, Star Addition and Tallawalla are all others to consider given the pick of their runs this year. At a price the less exposed I'Lldoit is one to watch closely in the betting as he steps up markedly in trip.
