4/6
Talented hurdler (158-rated) who made short work of the opposition with a facile success at Chelmsford (1m5f) earlier this month; 2/11f. Penalised and switched back to turf, but very much the leading contender.

9/1
Son of Dubawi who hit the racecourse late at Bath recently (1m3f+ firm) with a fairly tame effort. Wears cheek-pieces today and can be expected to be sharper with a run under his belt.

13/8
Clearly no world beater, but this son of Nathaniel (45,000 gns yearling) has knocked firmly at the door on both starts this season; beaten 2L by Titus at Wetherby earlier this month (1m2f good to soft).

66/1
Twice a winner from four starts in bumpers and bred to make an impression on the Flat, but disappointing so far and now looks to be awaiting a handicap mark. Not one for today.

150/1
A maiden after three starts and well beaten at Beverley earlier this month (1m2f); surely out of her depth against these rivals.

Forecasts

Elgin (4/6), Saroog (13/8), Buildmeupbuttercup (3/1), Falcon's View (9/1), Scottsdale (66/1), E Si Si Muove (100/1), Miss Alfie Rose (150/1)

Verdict

The National Hunt season at Catterick is all but a distant memory now but plenty of these horses have made an impact under jumps rules including the classy hurdler ELGIN. He is learning his trade on the Flat and his trainer Alan King will no doubt have future plans for the remainder of the season, but whilst this is a tougher assignment than at Chelmsford, he should record another victory at the expense of the likeable fellow dual purpose filly Buildmeupbuttercup.
  1. Elgin
