The Verdict comprises the C&D winners BLUFFERONTHEBUS and Epidavros, who both hold reasonably solid claims on 2026 form.
Epidavros has dropped down the weights and in grade and fully deserves his position towards the head of the market.However, Blufferonthebus is a horse that absolutely loves Carlisle and now finds himself on a very attractive handicap mark. Course specialists are always worth noting around here and conditions look ideal for another bold showing. He gets the vote to spring a minor surprise.
Selection: Blufferonthebus
