Verdict
CARA COURT proved he was versatile as to trip when bouncing back to form at Catterick nine days ago. He's won twice around here in the past and, though the penalty is a bit of a worry, few of his rivals arrive in any kind of form. Pamak D'airy is the exception and still well treated on his best form, despite a small rise since finishing second at Newcastle. But it's two years since he last won while it looks like course and distance winner Fred Bojangals is on a downward curve. Mia's Vic looks best of the rest as both Chicago Alley and Panthers Run are drawing their pension in racing terms.
