KATAGAT shaped with plenty of promise when third of 15 on his debut at Wetherby last month and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. The Skecher has joined a powerful yard after finishing runner-up on the second of his 2 outings in Irish points and would need taking seriously if the subject of strong market support, while the stoutly-bred Finisk Pride is another Rules newcomer to note.
