In depth
Verdict
A few of these have been thereabouts of late including True Pleasure, narrowly beaten over today's trip at Catterick last time. Rasaman has been placed over 6f on his last three starts now Cara's Request made the frame in a claimer at Catterick back in April. Cosmic Chatter continues to slide down the weights and could bounce back at any time but JUST PAUL (NAP) was not beaten far despite finishing only fifth at Wetherby a week ago and can add to his three previous course and distance wins off his current mark.
