Verdict
Dual Fibresand winner MISS CATO made a successful turf debut on slow ground at Yarmouth earlier this month and bids for her fourth win in only five starts today. She looks up to the task dropping down a grade and Rae Guest's progressive filly gets the nod ahead of Masters Blazing. The latter also scored on his first outing on turf when routing the opposition in soft ground at Warwick recently and has leading claims along with Naseem Alyasmeen, who went close in similar underfoot conditions at Carlisle last season and has a recent run on the all-weather under his belt. It's difficult to see outside of those three for the winner though Graylyn Valentino has scope for improvement after only five starts on Polytrack.
