CATASTROPHE may be 0-17 but shares top rating with the out-of-form Italian Beauty having being placed in a couple of non-sellers recently. This is a desperate affair and John Quinn's gelding will never get a better chance to break his duck. He was almost six lengths ahead of Siyahamba at Beverley two runs ago and meets that rivals on better terms - Cosmic Dust is also held on the form book. Fidelma Moon has won three times, once on soft, and this is less competitive than the race she ran in here last time.
