Altimatum is respected in this wide open Maiden Handicap off a new career low mark but with proven form on this surface TOMINTOUL STAR looks a better choice while Catcher Of Dreams looks one of the more likely after an improved run last time. Still winless after 10 starts the pick has gone close a number of times usually when racing at this track. She's weighted the same as when beaten a neck by Positivity here in February and she should do a lot better now returning to this surface than her run at Pontefract last time. Catcher Of Dreams put to bed a run of poor efforts by only finding subsequent winner Glenluji too good at Ayr on his last start. He is up in the weights but looks one of the more likely in a race that won't take much winning. Altimatum is 2lbs better off than when not beaten far behind next time up winner Goodbye Cash at Kempton last time out, which is form that gives him every chance and Miereveld is of more interest now in a handicap. Whitby's best has come on this surface but he has plenty to prove after two further runs so Tomintoul Star seems to have the least to prove.
