Verdict

It's hard to have much faith in Preseli Rock after yet another failure behind Ballyoptic here last time but Kerisper had run well in a handicap at Doncaster before finding the company too hot at Huntingdon. Catcher On The Go hasn't raced since a well-beaten second at Newton Abbot in August, however, and Danvinnie seems to lack an extra gear. HAWKHURST has something to find with Preseli Rock on Cheltenham running in January but probably has a bit more scope so gets the nod to come good here.
