In depth
Verdict
DRUMLEE WATAR defied a double penalty back in novice company at Worcester having landed a couple of handicaps before that. He looks progressive enough to shrug off a further rise in the weights and is just preferred to Catchmeifyoucan. The latter also arrives in good form and bids for a hat-trick having won at Cartmel last time when beating a previous winner. Calum Gilhooley is upped in distance after going close at Cartmel and Justatenner slips further down the weights.
