ORIENT CLASS found one too good at Newcastle last time but steps back down in class today. He won in this grade at Catterick on his reappearance and will handle any cut in the ground. Strictly at the weights, Straight Gin has a chance of reversing Catterick running with the selection, while Roomie showed earlier signs of progress at Southwell only to finish tailed off at Thirsk last time. Sleeper Class also struggled on her comeback but was placed in soft ground at Redcar last term.
