Spirit Of Wedza stumbled and unseated his rider early on at Catterick when starting favourite. He makes more appeal than Pontefract winner Free Entry, who was unruly at the start back at the same track last time and well beaten, while Darma finished ahead of Gold Waltz when third over 5f at Windsor and has won over today's longer trip before. But FUJIANO (NAP) landed her maiden over course and distance by three lengths on her reappearance. She should make another bold bid with Hector Crouch taking 7lb off her back today and is also preferred to Absolute Champion.
