In depth

Verdict

Catena has become disappointing but Seahorse Syd got off the mark by edging out Due Consideration here last month with Bellestarr fourth. The runner-up is now 2lb better off, however, and may turn the tables. On Borrowed Time has placed the last twice and won at Redcar and Beverley in the summer but the Newcastle winner STAR OF LAZISE has been keeping better company and can get his head back in front today having been dropped a couple of pounds.
