        In depth

        Verdict

        Although not the stiffest of tracks, 2m3f at Catterick will test the stamina of one or two of these novices' and, in the knowledge that the distance should suit, the vote goes to Cumbrian Knight. A winner in bumper company at Haydock, the son of Presenting has been beaten by two smart novices in his two outings over hurdles so far, losing out to Temple Dog at Ayr and Hey Ref back at Haydock. This looks easier and he can outstay his rivals. Howard Johnson's Another Dude looked useful when winning a handicap hurdle over two miles here earlier in the season but has disappointed twice since, including over this trip, and he may again be found wanting at the business end of the race. Richard Fahey's Altay has won twice on the all-weather at Lingfield since opening his account over hurdles at Musselburgh in December but would not be a certain stayer and the general level of his hurdling form does not match that of the selection. Richard Guest's Dangerously Good, a winner on the flat in Spain, and Mick Easterby's Golden Chance, who was pulled up last time but is better than a lot of these on the level are worth noting in the market.
