Verdict
Things have gone badly awry for Katrine since she made a winning debut at Ripon. Coolfitch has picked up a penalty for last week's victory at Carlisle, though did overcome trouble in-running to win at the Cumbrian track. Conditions should prove no problem for GOOD TIME AHEAD as he handled heavy going at Leicester last month. Richard Fahey's colt was only beaten a short-head over track and trip on debut and can be excused his run in the Super Sprint at Newbury two weeks ago. Percy Toplis is preferred to Breaking Free of the others.
