Just Paul failed to figure under a penalty at Catterick having recorded a hat-trick previously while it was no surprise to see course and distance winner Cara's Request flounder at Thirsk last time after an 11lb hike in the weights. Dumbarton Rock attempts this longer trip for the first time while Llewellyn's latest effort at Catterick gives him the beating of Majestic Dream on collateral form. JEANNIE GALLOWAY hasn't won since 2011 but posted her best effort for some time when runner-up in better company at Ayr recently. She looks to have every chance with a similar effort in this and gets the nod.
