Verdict

The thriving GLORIOUS KITTY might be good for a third win in her last 4 starts, with this course promising to lend itself to her prominent run style. The fact Precious Spartan is 3-3 over C&D makes him a possible threat, while Volenti has hinted in recent starts that he may be able to cash in on his reduced mark.

8	Three C&D wins (good/good to firm) on joining Patrick Neville last summer. Never involved on Catterick reappearance in April.
