Verdict
Future Benefits won a handicap over the trip on his only visit here in November but is 10lb higher and disappointed at Doncaster last month. Myburg had been running well before falling at the last at Sedgefield where he'd just been headed after leading two out over that 3m3f trip. COURT AT SLIP (NAP) appears to have been let off leniently with just a 4lb rise for a very easy victory over the track and trip and looks the one to beat. Get With It won over the trip at Kelso last summer and should be suited by the conditions while Westy Fox, a winner between the flags and over timber in Ireland, made a fair debut for Micky Hammond at Catterick.
