Several of these have already encountered each other, with The Terrier fancied to confirm her superiority over Phinerine, Vicky Pollard and Dispol Lady. However, there is also more to come from Great Chieftain, who posted an improved effort at Carlisle when he was last seen out. The son of Lend A Hand has been given a fair bit of time to come to himself since then and, as the form is working out well, he should not be underestimated here. Richard Fahey's colt rates as the biggest threat today. Dispol Lady and Vicky Pollard were brushed aside by the selection at Catterick and, although they are entitled to have improved, a little bit more is required on this occasion. Phinerine also has more on his plate and he looks to be basically destined for selling grade contests. Therefore, on the evidence available, The Terrier should be good enough to see off this lot if she simply runs up to scratch this afternoon.
