A big field but not too many in with realistic chances in what could be a decent maiden by Catterick standards. Cabeza de Vaca proved an expensive failure last time out when getting touched off but he is nominated as the TEAMtalk pick for this contest. Mark Johnston is still sending out the winners and the horse's form has a solid look to it. Henri Martin is the potential fly in the ointment. Paul Cole's charge has been seeing plenty of miles in his horsebox and he looked like he was going to break his duck at York before Rocket Ship came to spoil the party. Ground Zero has had plenty of chances and would probably be suited by a mile nowadays while Green 'N' Gold is plating class. Mount Hillaby returns from a six-month break and the market should offer most help in deciphering her chances.
