Rockley Point won at Catterick last time and can go well again while Qaaraat is regularly in the mix but rarely wins. ARCAVALLO has also been thereabouts recently looking to end a long losing run and finished in front of Highland Acclaim when third over track and trip a fortnight ago. He gets another chance racing off the same mark. Tilsworth Rose scored at Nottingham last month but has yet to win on the all-weather in 16 attempts and It Must Be Faith is preferred.
