Verdict
CAPTAIN CATTISTOCK made his chasing debut in what looked a pretty hot contest at Chepstow and he wasn’t disgraced. He’ll improve on that here and looks a threat to all. Molineaux was all out to win at Wincanton and this step up in trip is a worry while Ice Cool Champs is proving expensive to follow. Another Stowaway finally got his head in front at Leicester and that will have given confidence a boost. He handles this easier surface while Sky Pirate has had a break since falling at Cheltenham in November when just about to mount a challenge
