CAITHNESS (2) went close on chasing debut before winning at Wetherby (3050m) last time out. Has won at this track hurdling. Leading player. ESCAPEANDEVADE (1) scored twice here completing a hat-trick of wins last season. Yet to fire this term. Revisiting this venue a positive. DUTY CALLS (5) has struggled in two outings this season.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming lost his rider at Wetherby 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C3) on October 16 over 3000m. Second-up raced on the pace prior to fading ran last in a small field at Wetherby 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C3) on November 16 over 3900m, 19 len behind Densworth carrying 73.5kg at $7.

Fresh up after three months finished fifth of 7 runners at Ayr 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C4) on October 28 over 3300m, 26 len behind Home Free carrying 76kg at $7. Previously second-up won by 2.75 len Hexham 5yo+ STPLE HCP (C4) on June 23 over 3100m defeating Findthetime with 75kg at $4.50 in a steeplechase. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after seven months pulled up at Carlisle 4yo+ HCP HDLE (C4) on December 1 over 3860m. Previously second-up finished second in a small field at this track 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C3) on December 29 over 3400m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Traprain Law with 63kg at $6.50.
