Verdict
DEAR MY FRIEND got on top in the closing stages over 6f at Carlisle and this stiff 7f looks ideal so he can defy a penalty. Sol Cayo was only half-a-length behind and will be 6lb better off but he was having his third start and the winner has more scope. Have Secret, who was beaten eight lengths into sixth, missed the break before staying on so should get closer. The latter's stable companion Blue Yonder cost £50,000 and is out of a mare who won over this trip as a juvenile.
