Formscan  - Few jockeys ride this track better than Franny Norton and he partners a likely type in PERFECT PLAY here. A Carlisle novice event winner last term, he shaped really well in defeat at Beverley over this trip on his return and looks capable of winning off his present mark. We Could Be Heroes and Orange Martini should also come on for their recent reappearances and look feasibly treated.
