Zefooha scored over 2m2f at Pontefract last time with Madam Lilibet a length behind and Tarantella Lady further back. A 3lb rise shouldn't be a problem but today's much shorter trip could be. CATEGORICAL makes more appeal as he was only beaten a short-head over this distance at Musselburgh back in May and goes well fresh. Musically also has claims on her earlier victory at Catterick but Ad Value has struggled off higher marks since winning early in the season and Madrasa's C&D win in June came on fast ground.
