Verdict
PAWS FOR THOUGHT was making his seasonal debut when caught in the final strides in last year’s renewal. He finished ahead of 2021 winner Broken Spear on that occasion with recent Catterick winner Roundhay Park further behind and can go one better. Mellys Flyer won over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton last month while Maysong scored over a mile at Redcar but Gorak is 9lb higher than when successful at Doncaster. Another Batt slips further down the weights and has a shout.
