        Verdict

        HELLENISTA finished a decent second in a staying event at Carlisle earlier and the winner has gone on to frank the form with a subsequent victory at the weekend. Lord Torranaga is no stranger to racegoers at Catterick and he appears capable of showing his form on any surface. Spantik is a fair performer over hurdles and a recent second over course and distance reads well while Easter Icon is Jack Channon’s only runner on the card but he has a bit to prove having bombed out badly at Ripon on a testing surface. Tiberio Force is stepped up in trip as he attempts to arrest a lengthy losing run.
