Uther Pendragon is a three-times course winner though it's taken 25 runs to reach that total. THIS ONES FOR FRED landed a Lingfield seller then just hUng on to complete a double over this trip at Catterick. He's been raised just a pound and his rider can claim 7lb here. Charlie Arthur has managed to win seven times but all bar one have come on the all-weather where he's rated much higher. Black Smoke was making his debut for Brian Barr when scoring over 1m2f on soft ground at Lingfield and has moved yards again while seven-times winner Hot Team has yet to prove he stays this far.
