Verdict

Hawkhurst has started favourite in three of his four starts under Rules but is still chasing a first victory and clearly has problems in the jumping department. Catherines Well was upped 9lb after winning easily at Doncaster last December and has been absent since but there should be more to come from BOARD OF TRADE now going handicapping. Alan King's charge has the beating of Chartbreaker on their run together at Newbury a year ago. Yes I Did has her sights lowered after running in a couple of Listed races in the spring and is preferred Billy No Name and Western Miller of the others.
