Dandy Nicholls saddles Dream Catcher, successful over 6f at Thirsk last month before finishing fourth at Doncaster, so it may be significant that son Adrian rides BILKO PAK. Ann Duffield's gelding hasn't run since January but boasted solid form on the all-weather last winter and has to be of interest getting weight from some modest rivals. Getcarter is well drawn but on a long losing run, while Kingswinford was beaten in a seller at Leicester last time. Lord Of The Dance has claims on his third at Catterick two weeks ago, however, and Opus Maximus could play a part if fully wound-up after a short break.
