Verdict
Son Of Suzie has disappointed since finishing second here on his reappearance and fell at Cheltenham on Friday. Southwell winner Harangue looked likely to be placed at Catterick but also came down. Kings Apollo posted one of his better efforts when runner-up at Leicester but testing ground is a worry for him so EMMA SODA is preferred. She hasn't raced since March but scored over track and trip when last seen and may be good enough to land this on her return.
