Catherine Walton bids for her third straight win in this but today's mount, Diddy Eric, arrives in poor form. Jan De Heem won one of these events at Beverley on faster ground when Rainford Glory finished fourth but TESTA ROSSA won in testing going at Ayr earlier this year. The latter may come out best on the back of a recent third at the same track, though Aristocratic Duty was second at Catterick in between a couple of poor efforts and could also go well.
