Henley acts on any ground and made a bold bid to defy a 6lb penalty at Catterick last time. He can go well again with his low weight but BASHIBA (NAP) looks the one to be on. He's only 2lb higher than when scoring at this level at Doncaster in September and produced an even better performance when a close third in a Class 3 over the course and distance a couple of weeks ago. Just Us Two is gradually making his way back after a long absence and his two recent runs have been full of promise so he should be winning again soon. Robert Cowell also runs Captain Bob, whose last victory was in 2014 but who is much better than his form figures suggest as he's been racing in better company. Landing Night has won three times over Catterick's sharp track but has run well here in the past as has Lexington Place, who has an excellent strike-rate of 9-38 and who is back on the same mark as his last success.
