Catchanova to win

CATCHANOVA HAS a good chance of ending his seven-month barren patch in the Smiths News Handicap at Lingfield.

Eve Johnson Houghton’s runner was unlucky not to be much closer than seventh at Kempton off a mark of 71, meeting traffic problems when challenging.

SCOTTISH VESPERS looks very hard to oppose in the News International Maiden Stakes.

Sir Michael Stoute’s three-year-old went into many a notebook as a future winner of at least a race like this when third atwindsor last month.

That event gave the impression of him being above average, a view confirmed when winner Rosslyn Castle went on to score well at Chester.

DREAM CATCHER might be the interesting one in the Menzies Distribution Handicap.

On the face of it, Jonjo O’neill’s nineyear-old holds few secrets from the assessor, but the booking of Ryan Moore is eyecatching to say the least.

Having been campaigned largely on the sand, SON OF MAY might be better for his second run back on turf in division one of the 32Redbet.com Classified Stakes at Chepstow.

Trained by Jo Hughes, the Royal Applause filly was second at Catterick.

REI D’ORO looks to be crying out for a step up in trip and gets the opportunity in the 32Red Handicap.

This mile and a half should be perfect and he might be better than his initial mark of 75 if this distance proves his optimum.
