Verdict
Last week’s Market Rasen winner Catchmeifyoucan carries a penalty but is due to go up 10lb from next week so has obvious claims with his stable in fine form at present. Moidore is possibly best at Market Rasen but is still capable in this grade while this is a more realistic level for Presenting Yeats. Dubh Des Champs wasn’t beaten far when third at Newcastle and The Black Squirrel won at that track two weeks ago. Petite Ganache has Brian Hughes doing the steering but we’d rather take a chance on HATTAAB, who is only 1-20 over timber but just came up short at Wincanton two runs ago and ran better than the final result suggests next time at Huntingdon.
