In depth
Verdict
FOXCOVER was a disappointing favourite at Catterick but gets another chance on the strength of his debut second at Thirsk when finishing six lengths ahead of the rest. A few of these have been allocated a handicap mark and Pearl Bell comes out best of those though Knockroon has the better recent form. Bailiwick will have benefited for a debut outing over track and trip and may prove best of the rest.
