Verdict
Catherines Well was well supported in two runs last month but found too good on each occasion and has been raised 3lb since her latest run at Leicester. DONNA'S PRIDE kept on when third on her reappearance at Musselburgh and would have got closer had she not produced a tired jump at the last. She'll strip fitter here and won over the trip at Catterick in February. Angel Face has plenty to find to reverse Plumpton running with Catherines Well while Pixiepot has been struggling to win against lesser opposition but Kilty Caul may do better eased in grade.
