Cathcart Castle finished a close-up sixth at Brighton and is capable of getting involved, while If What And Maybe has been placed in similar company over slightly longer trips recently. Pursuing is getting nearer to breaking her duck and went close at Wolverhampton on her latest outing, but a chance is taken on THE AUCTIONEER. He improved with every run in maiden company at the end of last year and, despite returning from a lay-off, Willie Musson's charge won't have to improve much in such a weak handicap to come out best.
