Formscan - SPECIAL RATE failed to fire in a valuable event at Cartmel when last seen in June, but his previous third at the same venue gives him a big chance in a race of this nature. Swallows Song could make the frame if finding some improvement for first-time cheekpieces, while Too Cool Forshrule and Inis Oirr are others to keep an eye on.
