In depth
Verdict
Quercus won for the third time on Turf at Catterick but has been unplaced in three all-weather starts. Macho Pride is running well but has a poor strike-rate and was beaten just over a length by Beast Of Burden here last month. The latter ran poorly at Hamilton last week but Kraken Florida won over the track and trip back in February and was slowly away when narrowly beaten into third the following month. ENDERMAN has won once in 30 starts but is generally thereabouts at this level so looks the safest option in a tricky finale.
