RACING EUROPE found the 135-rated Warrantor too strong on his hurdling debut at Market Rasen but went one better inn a three-runner race at Catterick and looks to have a bright future, especially when going chasing. He might be one the beat here ahead of Donna's Diamond and Uisge Beatha, who have both won here but took four starts to get off the mark over timber. Maidens Argent Knight and Birch Hill should be winning soon but Seldom Inn's two victories have been over 2m and he'll have his stamina tested over this trip.
