Stormy Beech won a Catterick seller readily last time and if the going here were good then he would be a warm order to follow up. However, he has failed to convince that he really handles these sort of conditions and others are preferred today. Notable among those is Motafayel, who looks to be going the right way, handles cut and has a welcome 3lb taken off his back by good claimer Dominic Elsworth. He is a tentative selection to score here. Begsy's Bullet scored a heavy ground Sedgefield success last time out and her 7lb penalty looks enough to stop her, while of the remainder don't discount top weight Tribal Dispute who looks interesting now he is dropped back in trip.
