W Coltherd

Many look to have chances here and RED KINGDOM receives what is only a tentative vote. Diane Sayer's gelding produced his best effort for some time when runner-up over a furlong shorter at Perth last month and should be to the fore if reproducing that level of performance this evening. Rawaaj doesn't look the most reliable but can go close if in the same mood as when finishing third last time, while Shulmin has won twice at the Cumbria venue in the past (including this race in 2010) and cannot be ruled out.
