Verdict
Try Cat makes a swift reappearance after finishing third at Ffos Las on Tuesday. She's still to win a race of any sort, however, and is probably worth taking on again here with PERFECT REWARD. Gary Moore's gelding has won two out of five starts since arriving in this country in the spring and was a fair second in better company at Lingfield last time. I'm In The Pink won at Stratford in April but has been well beaten over fences and on the all-weather recently and is probably one to be wary of at present. Primera Rossa, second at Leicester last month, is probably best of the rest.
