CARLOVIAN won on the Tapeta surface at Wolverhampton last month and wasn’t far behind the winner off today’s higher mark at Catterick last week. He should go close with an apprentice’s 5lb allowance in his favour. Cardaw Lily also ran well at last week’s Catterick meeting when finishing a close-up third ahead of Perfect Words while Star Cracker finished runner-up here before running below par at Ayr. Sienna Says won off today’s mark over track and trip back in August and is not out of this either.
