Country Road is mostly consistent but hasn't been seen at the track since winning here in November. He might just need this and preference goes to MUSTAJED. He's now won three times for today's amateur after scoring at Newbury last time and has scored on Polytrack before. Irish raider Golan Heights won over C&D in March and could figure, while Visions Of Johanna has also won at Catterick since scoring at this track back in February. Chris Martin has already won four races this year and he gets the leg-up on Duar Mapel, who should be noted.
