The maiden Ferruccio is weighted to reverse recent form with CATCHANOVA, but the latter has proven he can get the job done and is taken to land his hat-trick. Eve Johnson Houghton's charge scored in better company at this track a fortnight ago and can defy a 4lb rise. Cool Hand Jake also has a bit to find with the selection on earlier form, while C&D winner Point Du Jour came unstuck in a higher grade last time and Oetzi was also found wanting on his latest start having won at Warwick before that. Dazeen has claims if forgiven his recent poor effort at Brighton.
