PASTUREYES won more cosily than the winning margin would suggest when swooping late at Catterick last time. The hat-trick beckons for Scott Dixon's filly. Stablemate Pearl Noir won at Beverley in between a couple of modest efforts but Captain Ryan took advantage of a slide down the weights to score at Bath recently and should figure again. Valmina has also tumbled down the handicap but has yet to show any benefit.
