Verdict
Plenty are in with a shout but Tim Easterby's MASEKELA signalled he is ready to end a long losing sequence when runner-up at Ripon last time and can capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark. Sonic Pioneer heads the list of dangers on the back of a very good Carlisle second, although handicap debutant Into Combat and in-form duo Dr Rio and Showyoutheropes command lots of respect too.
