Catterick bumper winner The Wayward Lord couldn't handle heavy going at Bangor last month but is out of a staying jumper and should do better over a set of obstacles. Pertuis made a fair start over timber at Catterick but will need to have made massive strides to trouble the penalised pair Ashbrittle and INTO WAIN. The former is a real staying type who battled to success in very heavy ground at Lingfield and Tom Scudamore will ensure there is no hanging around but Steve Gollings' charge gets the nod as he was almost as good on the Flat and has made strong progress over hurdles culminating in an impressive success at Kelso last month.
