Rose Marmara won over 6f at Catterick before finishing second over the minimum trip. She’s preferred to Kody Ridge, who won a seller at Leicester last week and will find this tougher. It was soft going when Socialites Red scored at Nottingham last time while Lexington Times does himself no favours with a tendency to miss the break and STRAIGHTOTHEPOINT is preferred. The latter has gone close the last twice having tumbled down the weights and Bryan Smart’s charge looks set to end a long losing run off his current mark.
