Cuzco Du Mathan is narrowly behind the top-rated Achille Des Rocs on a pound, but the preference here rests on stronger credentials in conditions like these and a more consistent book of form that inspires greater confidence over this marathon trip at Cartmel. Achille Des Rocs remains the obvious threat as the top-rated runner and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Ghasham and Forcetoreckonwith are capable of making their presence felt if the selection is below par on the day. This is a competitive little field and the verdict is tentative, but Cuzco Du Mathan is our selection.
