      Verdict

      ROCCO'S DELIGHT (NAP) began a winning run with a victory on this track a year ago and returned to winning ways on his first start for Brian Ellison at Catterick last week for which he's penalised 6lb. Callum Shepherd has been booked to reduce the impost and a quick double looks on the cards. Harwoods Star is also in good form and gained his second victory on the track in the past few weeks with a battling victory over 6f where he stayed on strongly. He's up 5lb but it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish. Moonlight Venture won a seller here in January and a handicap the following month so a return to the surface after subsequent defeats on Polytrack and Turf should bring about some improvement. Street Force has won on the track but In Focus and Paladin have only been successful on Turf.
