Oak Vintage (7/2), Frankie Ballou (7/2), Minella Voucher (9/2), Simply Business (9/2), Paddling (15/2), Miss Amelia (11/1), Charlie Snow Angel (11/1), Scorpo (40/1), Rain In The Face (40/1)

Both Frankie Ballou and Minella Voucher seek to top up their recent gains, arriving on hat-trick missions. The former is a dual C&D winner, but he has plenty on with Paddling if judged on earlier Catterick form from December 2017. Alex Dunn's improving seven-year-old made a proficient switch to fences at Southwell, but whilst only 5lb higher today, that level of form isn't the strongest. Similarly, the suspicion was that Charlie Snow Angel found a weak race at Newcastle, whilst Oak Vintage isn't a wholly convincing fencer, so we'll aim a speculative dart at the lowly-rated chasing debutante SIMPLY BUSINESS for the much respected England partnership.
