Both Dream Catcher and Logan's Lad won lowly sprints over track and trip before failing to figure on their latest starts. Chellalla was well beaten at Southwell having scored over a longer trip at Lingfield earlier while Billy Red and Scoreline remain 7lb higher than for their latest wins. NATIONAL SERVICE has been getting closer over 5f of late and he gets a tentative vote having gone close over today's longer trip on the Polytrack early in the year.
