In depth
Verdict
Cherished Number took full advantage of a drop in class to land a weak Catterick maiden last time and has more on his plate here while Oundle Scoundrel had his limitaions exposed at Haydock last time and looks too high in the weights. Blythe Spirit is 4lb higher than when successful over 7f at Carlisle last time and shapes as though he will appreciate the step up in trip while Cat's Whiskers looks ready to strike judged on his latest effort when a close second at Newcastle in a competitive field.
