Irish trainer sends one horse on the 900-mile round trip to Carlisle on Sunday

QAFFAAL is a runner who has largely disappointed since showing lots of promise back in late 2016, but there’s plenty to like about him in a race such as this. The performance of Mick Easterby’s runner last time out suggested that his turn in the winners’ enclosure might not be far away. Having either won or placed in 66% of his previous runs over C&D, the bottom-weighted runner is worth chancing at an each-way price. The unexposed Star Archer is expected to improve, while both Pactolus and Mount Tahan have the form to suggest that they can get involved also.
