HOMME PUBLIC found one too good in both starts over hurdles in France and it was the same story at Catterick on her debut for Oliver Greenall. He may finally come good today. Gilbertina was set a stiff task in Listed company last time and this is more her level judged on an earlier placed effort at Doncaster while Indigo Lake was sent off favourite at Catterick on his hurdling bow but was well beaten and has undergone wind surgery since. Keep It Brief won a handicap on the Flat and debuts over timber along with Civil Law, an import from France.
