Champetre and Nothinelsematters were both entered in the 1.05 Catterick yesterday. Bumper winner BHALOO was making his hurdling debut when third at Kempton and improvement can almost be taken for granted so he’s preferred to stablemate Montecam. Dancing In Brazil also placed last time at Kempton but Parade Away was beaten under a penalty at Hereford. Banteer was third over 2m at Wincanton but didn’t appear to last home over this trip earlier. Casual Observer , may need the experience today but is one to note.
