Wolfcatcher can finish closer back over this longer trip while Duty Calls finished third again at Ayr without threatening the winner. CABOY was no match for the winner when second at Kelso but he only faded in the closing stages on the testing going and Lucinda Russell’s charge can go one better dropping down a grade for this. Budarri may prove best of the rest.
