Fingal’s Cave can strike the winning note

- London MAKE MAGIC WITH MORRICE

– FINGAL’S CAVE can show there is a yawning gap between him and his rivals in the Racing UK In Glorious HD Claiming Stakes at Catterick today.

Ian Jardine drops his five-yearold into one of the lowest classes as the gelding returns to turf after a successful campaign on sand.

The latest evidence that the Nap is performing well happened when he landed a Class5 at Newcastle and a repeat of that form would make him very hard to beat here. He makes plenty of appeal as a banker is all exotics.

GO GEORGE GO is also fit from an all-weather campaign when he tackles the Nags Head Supports Catterick Championsh­ip Awards Handicap over the marathon distance of 2800m.

Alan Swinbank sent the progressiv­e four-year-old out to enjoy a bountiful winter on sand, with his trademark turn of foot often proving keynote to his success.

And in defeat he’s not always enjoyed the rub of the green, as was the case in his latest start.

AIRTON can go well on his seasonal reappearan­ce in the 2017 Catterick Twelve Furlong Dries Handicap.

James Bethell’s charge ended last year’s campaign on a winning note and should be competitiv­e returning from a four-month break.
