ITSNOWCATO was beaten only a length at Kempton last month and wouldn't need to improve on that to come out best in this company. Ed Walker's colt is just preferred to Dragoon Guard, who looks the chief threat on his latest short-head defeat over track and trip with Market Storm well behind in sixth. The remainder have yet to show any worthwhile form and will do well to get involved.
