Calverts Carpets Hambleton Cup Handicap Stakes (GBBPlus Race)

Spirit Of Acklam won two starts back and arrives here 26 days later in good order, with experience of both today's trip and going working in his favour; rated 96 and top of the eight, he has the class edge, though a return to form after his fourth last time is the one thing to prove.

High Storm shaped as a strong contender on his official mark of 82 given our rating of 93, and he has experience of today's trip and going; the main concern is a 99-day absence, with only fourth and fifth in his last two starts to advertise his current form.

Bay Of Myths was a winner two starts back and ran a solid third last time out, giving him solid recent form to build on, though 138 days off the track is the key question mark he must answer fresh.

Consistent without a win in his last five starts, What's The Plan has been runner-up twice in recent outings and rates 5 lb above his official mark, making him a strong threat at the weights; the risk is whether he can finally convert.

Winless in her last four starts and ranked seventh of eight on our figures, Kisiyra has experience over today's trip but little recent form to recommend her, and a 93-day absence adds further doubt despite a handy weight of 131 lb.
