FAME AND HOPE is creeping close over hurdles and gets a change of headgear on the back of a second at Catterick. Clear of the rest on that occasion, he can go one better. Border Victor was still well beaten when runner-up at Newcastle but Bitasweetsymphony has a shout on last month’s fifth at Doncaster. Dequall won over a shorter trip on last year’s card but Emma Beag looked beaten when falling on her reappearance. Stolen Money goes handicapping for the first time and may improve.
