Not much to get excited about in this but DEXCITE would have been placed at worst at Catterick last time had he not fallen at the last so should be thereabouts with a clear round. Pure Country is an eight-race maiden but has hinted at ability and he is the least exposed. Rollerruler has twice finished second at Carlisle while Gris De Pron and Go To Court should be monitored for any market support.
