Having dropped a few pounds, POTTERMAN ran a better race last time at Kempton and could cap a good day for Alan King. The going is in his favour again and he could return to winning ways under Oakley Brown. Court Dreaming looks a danger if fully wound-up as he won under Danny McMenamin, one of the most experienced jockeys in this, at Kelso in the autumn. Castletown continues to look a hard ride, however, and Legalized has been doing her winning in novice events at Sedgefield. Katgary doesn’t stand much racing and last won in 2016 but Golden Jeffrey and Quest For Life could play a part.
