CAPTAIN CATTISTOCK showed he retains a good deal of ability when third on debut for Fergal O'Brien at Wincanton recently and, with a fitness edge over plenty, he gets the nod to open his account for his new stable. Silsol was a classy type for Paul Nicholls and has scored in points for Will Biddick, so he's considered along with Law of Gold, who is open to improvement if fully tuned up.
