DA VINCI HAND has thrived at Catterick this winter and can follow up last week's victory back up in trip. The Sumba Island is very interesting going over fences for Laura Morgan after a nudge from the handicapper. Spot On Soph is another who has tasted success here this term and should be in the hunt.
