        Verdict

        Catie Dash showed enough in a Ripon nursery last time to suggest that this will be well within his compass and is taken to score at the main expense of Perfect Distance and Forzenuff. The last mentioned is closely matched with Berry Racer on running last time and is likely to find this tougher. Perfect Distance has claims on the form shown when winning a Musselburgh nursery in August but disappointed last time and may not be one to trust implicitly. Last week's Wolverhampton winner Emperor Cat and Fabuco, a course and distance winner earlier in the season, are others to consider but Catie Dash was only beaten two lengths in a better race than this at Ripon and, off a 1lb lower mark, has obvious claims.
