It was soft ground when Captain Corcoran won at Catterick last month and Infinite Grace would also prefer some cut representing last year’s winning yard. Dream House has failed to figure since winning at Catterick with Longroom behind but Nibras Again is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Beverley in July. MARK’S CHOICE posted a better effort at Haydock on his debut for Sam England’s yard. He was winning off higher marks last year and it could be his turn again today. Dapper Man has also slid down the weights but was due to run at Beverley yesterday.
