A shocking seller here and we will take Catweasel and score from Alittleriskie and Mollyanko. The selection was backed at Ripon last week only to miss the break and on similar ground to this was always struggling to catch up. This may well be a compensation effort and any support for a second time will probably be significant. He seemed to handle the desperate Ripon ground well enough, so with a better start here he can score. Alittleriskie won a Warwick seller two starts ago before being hammered last time. He should go better back in this company and looks a danger. Little else makes appeal but Mollyanko can improve for her Catterick debut and Readyforone looks the pick of the David Evans trained pair and could make the frame, but for the winner we return to Catweasel.
