Verdict
Obee Jo has been in good form over 7f at Catterick but tries this longer trip for the first time at the age of seven. Stablemate Bungley is a course and distance winner but lacks a recent run. MENELAUS could have been better drawn but he had Sparkle In His Eye behind when only beaten a short-head over track and trip last month and his yard is in good form. Last year’s winner Diamond Haze also has claims being a pound lower but all of Ey Up Its The Boss’ form is over shorter distances.
