Masquerade Bling has been very consistent over the last 18 months but has still only managed one win in 29 career starts. She’s gone up a couple of pounds since her latest second at Salisbury and may find one too good again. Born To Finish has a terrible record on Turf but Spellmaker, Willsy, Mooroverthebridge and Captain Ryan are previous course and distance winners, though the latter was behind the maiden Yogiyogiyogi here at the start of the month. INDIAN PURSUIT (NAP) won off a higher mark at Catterick last year and, apart from one run at Nottingham, hasn’t been disgraced this season. The northern raider can only benefit from having De Sousa in the saddle .
