Pugnacity has shown his best recent form over the larger obstacles and is returning from a lay-off, but Cosmetic and Some Catch could make the frame if on one of their going days. However, CORNISH CASTLE wasn't beaten far when fifth at Sedgefield on his recent comeback from a seven-month absence and a similar effort today should be good enough to land this contest. Lady Pacha won here in November and steps up in trip after a couple of below-par performances, while Knock Three Times may do better dropping down in class.
