Plenty of Catterick regulars in attendance with Ingleby Hollow and Bulas Belle set to lock horns once more after only being separated by half a length over a shorter trip here earlier in the month (race won by Pumblechook). Italian Riviera also merits respect if able to reproduce his Thirsk effort behind Vercingetorix (feasibly 'bounced' latest), but a narrow preference is for the reliable mare QUESTION OF FAITH . She continues to edge up the weights, but the excellent Paul Hanagan might just be wise enough to squeeze out another success from her on conditions which are ideal.
