Kateson, who won over course and distance on debut, will be no pushover in this. Tommie O’Brien’s claims negates most of his penalty and he’ll find this easier than the Listed contest he ran in last time at Ascot. Remastered has only found one too good in two of his three runs to date and David Pipe should find a race for the Irish import but POTTERS TALE could go one better than at Ffos Las if he settles a little better on his second start. Kauto The King and Flemenstrix have nice pedigrees but represent yards that haven’t had much luck in bumpers so far this season.
