In depth
Verdict
CATAPULT has been in fine form over 7f, scoring at Lingfield and making most until collared close home at Southwell. He’s crept up the ratings but still looks well treated and can go in again. Brockley Rise went up 9lb after completing a Lingfield double in January and hasn’t quite been able to cope while Indian Affair will be having his 131st start and is only 1lb higher than his victory here in January. Admiral Rooke is on his lowest ever mark but is 0-21 while Fareeq has won at Newcastle but has never run well here.
