Cartmel Race 1 - Rf Miller & Co Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
LOCH CUAN (1) found success over course and distance last month winning by 3L. Should be capable of defying the penalty and rates very highly in what looks a moderate contest. DREAM RACER (5) wasn't disgraced when well held on debut in a point to point during May. Needs to find significant improvement to figure on rules debut for a stable in need of a winner. DRUMCONNOR HILL (2) is yet to land a blow in two Irish maiden hurdles. Not a total surprise to see an improved performance here making British debut. TRIBAL MOON (4) looked limited on the flat and showed no immediate promise providing initial hurdle outing.

Third race start today. At debut, finished fourth in a small field at North Yorkshire P2p on April 18 over 4000m, 50 len behind Rockatansky carrying 68.5kg. Second-up didn't finish the race at Oxfordshire P2p on May 10 over 4200m. Won't find this easy.
