0-11 but he has not been with Jim Goldie long and his latest Musselburgh third (1m, good) was encouraging; Paul Mulrennan replaces an apprentice today and a bigger effort could be forthcoming.

Won four times last year; this 7yo hasn't been in the same form this season but her recent 3l fourth to Classy Clarets at Musselburgh (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she's a three-time winner at Catterick; remains 8lb below her last winning mark and is capable of going well.

The winner of nine races, including C&D, and arrives in good form having finished second in three of his last four races; did rather throw away his latest start at Leicester though, surging to the lead 1f out but dossing in front and picked off close home; has the ability to win but he will need producing late.
