SEVEN NO TRUMPS (3.40, nap) is fancied to hold all the cards in the Dawson Blades Cumberland Handicap Chase at Carlisle on Sunday.
Dan Skelton’s seven-year-old made a promising start over fences when scoring at Lingfield last November and showed good form in defeat at Market Rasen and Wetherby since.
He gives the impression this sort of stamina test could suit and looks competitively weighted off a 7lb higher mark to make another winning return to action.
Huntingdon's card has only mustered 29 runners in total for six races and FULGURIX (3.23, nb) looks a sound bet in the five-runner Macer Gifford Handicap Chase.
Dr Richard Newland's seven-year-old is relatively lightly raced and showed improved form when getting off the mark in handicap chase at Hexham in May, drawing well clear with the runner-up.
Even off top weight, he can follow up after a five-month break.
