Caught At Dawn was most impressive when winning at Cheltenham last month and can make it back to back victories this evening, Find Me Another and Highland Rose look the main rivals. This eleven-year-old led from the second last and smoothly pulled away from Sherwood Rose. A repeat of that effort should easily be good enough in this company. Find Me Another was successful in a point at Kingston Blount a few weeks ago and should be capable of reaching the frame. Meanwhile Highland Rose was very well backed when slaughtering her rivals in decent point to point at High Easter last time. She hasn't raced regulation fences for some time but is in good heart and is worth a look in the market. Coolefind could go close if he improves his jumping, but the safest bet looks to be Caught At Dawn.
