Verdict

HURSTWOOD won twice at Redcar before completing a hat-trick over C&D in September 2022 and is taken to repeat the feat 4 years on. Kings Merchant has his 2 lb rise for his recent Catterick success more than offset by the promising Conor Whiteley's claim and is second choice ahead of Valentine Catcher and Angel Summer.
