Boreham Bill hasn’t been seen since running a shocker here in November. KATESON has placed at Aintree and Chepstow this season and has never raced off a mark this low. Jay Tidball’s claim should further aid his cause and he gets the nod even though Bold Plan arrives off the back of a victory at Market Rasen. Dorking Boy was never quite getting to the odds-on Thunder Rock at Huntingdon last month but the Taunton winner finished well clear of the others and a 2lb rise looks fair. Stormy Flight can race off the same mark as when second at Uttoxeter and also looks a danger.
