Form: 5-3322

Last run: 30 days

W: 12st 0lb

8 yo Gelding

OR: 100

Form & Verdict
Overall record of 0-26 but he has form form figures of 3322 for current yard and that latest second was at this track (2m3f, good) last month; seems fairly versatile ground-wise and he should go well again back up in trip.

OR: 88

Form & Verdict
Recorded his second win over fences when justifying favouritism to beat a clear second at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to firm) last month; 7lb higher in different conditions here but that was a personal best last time and he ran well over 2m5f at Fontwell (good to soft) in August; key player.

Won last autumn on final two runs for Olly Murphy (3m2f/2m5f, good to firm/good to soft) and he took a step back in the right direction when third of six at Warwick (3m, good) in June when last seen; runs off his last winning mark and he might not be far away.

Pescatorius

J: Beau Morgan

T: Rob Summers

Won twice for Olly Murphy in the autumn and subsequently sold for 5,500gns; hasn't been in the same form in three runs for his current trainer; cheekpieces worn on his last three starts are dispensed with on this step up in trip; still has time on his side but all of a sudden has a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run when scoring at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in January but that was by a nose and this veteran has been well held in three subsequent runs; others preferred.

12yo whose form can be up and down but he's won on his last two visits to Catterick (soft/good), the latest over C&D last month when beating Mersey Street by a short head; he's a player if backing up that effort.

13 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
His last three wins have been on slow ground at this track (2m5f/2m3f) and he ended last year with a gritty success over a clear second; returns after almost a year off but he's only 3lb higher than last time and conditions should be ideal; in the mix.

Mr Mahler

Decline in fortunes over fences last season wasn't arrested by a switch to front-running; brave to name this the day given he's 0-15 now, but new career-low mark is notably 8lb lower than when last trying hurdles.

Form & Verdict
Point winner who is 0-20 under rules but he was only beaten around 5l in a Fontwell handicap (2m3f, good) in his final run in the spring; has run well when fresh before and he could get involved on his return.
