10/3

Catterick regular who fared no better than on reappearance when 12th of 13 in a handicap at Newcastle (12/1) 26 days ago, racing freely and weakening from 2f out. Return to this track could prompt a revival and he's below last winning mark.

Forecasts

Crocodile Power (6/4), Highjacked (10/3), Miss Rainbow (4/1), Langholm (11/2), Golden Prosperity (13/2), Quercus (10/1), Duchess Tattoo (28/1), So Grateful (33/1), Mews House (40/1), Hyrcanian (200/1)

MISS RAINBOW won three races in a row before a late-rallying third at Hamilton and back over 6f, she could be the answer. Crocodile Power, a Catterick specialist, showed a return to form when third at Ayr and is feared most. Highjacked also lurks on a dangerous mark if he can revive.
