Harry Challoner's claim negates a big chunk of KYKATE's 7lb penalty for winning at Kelso last time. She scored over today's trip at Wetherby before that and a hat-trick looks on the cards. Clouded Thoughts has a string of placed efforts to his name but hasn't looked like winning so far and That's The Deal makes more appeal on his close-up fourth at Stratford last month. The Black Baron scored at Fakenham in March but has gone off the boil since and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
