Catterick winner SIX STRINGS defied an 8lb rise to score over this trip at Wetherby and can shrug off a 4lb penalty to complete the hat-trick in his current mood. Little Ted could improve on recent efforts if the cheekpieces have the desired effect while Willy Nilly has his ground and is fit from hurdling. Detective steps up a grade after winning over 1m1f here last month but is only 4lb higher so warrants respect.
