Came good for Stuart Coltherd with clearcut success at Kelso (3m2f, good) in October and is only 3lb higher here but his record over the last year or so is very mixed and it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood today.

Form & Verdict
2-5 as a novice hurdler last season; left behind by front pair when third of five at Doncaster (3m, good) six weeks ago but began chasing career with two very encouraging runs (2m5f/2m4f) and will appreciate today's ease in grade; good chance.

Runs this track well but has been well below his best this season; seemingly perked up by change of headgear when respectable sixth over C&D (soft) in first-time visor last month but is effectively 2lb higher from out of the weights today; blinkers given a whirl this time.

Won here (2m4f, good) in October and followed up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); below par at Newcastle and Wetherby since and arrives with something to prove, but he's back on his last winning mark and ten visits to Carlisle have yielded five wins (various ground); not ruled out now back here.
