It's hard to be over-confident about any of these and Catch The Rascal is probably flattered by her third on heavy ground at Wincanton. Terra Bleu dropped away very tamely on his fencing bow over a longer trip here but the Laughing Game has claims on her best form and LAJIDAAL may have dropped to a decent mark. He runs his best races around here and gets a nominal vote in a race that won't take much winning.
