Catching Shadows won at Cork in December and then made a winning start for new connection under a penalty at Musselburgh. He's clearly useful but has to concede weight all round here with Benny's Secret getting off the mark at Ayr in March. But that one has to give 7lb to GULLY'S EDGE, who should go one better than when beaten only a head on his debut here in March when Herecomesnelson was behind. Micklegate Run is Flat bred and is from a yard that does well in bumpers so looks the pick of the remainder ahead of ex-pointer Seven Devils.
