Hogan's Height ended last season with a double at Catterick and his stable is in good form. Mighty Thunder idled after hitting the front at Perth last month so is probably better than that bare form suggests. Kalaharry is having a first run since January but has a chance at the weights and Laugharne made a promising reappearance at Newton Abbot last month. Mr Muldoon rallied to make it 2-2 over hurdles in a novice event at Kelso earlier this month but fourth UPTOWN HARRY was an eye-catcher that day and may well reverse the form over this longer trip.
