Easy Southwell winner Katheefa is probably not quite as effective here but will still make a bold bid to defy his penalty. Cappananty Con had Big Time Maybe behind when successful over track and trip last month and is only 2lb worse off so looks a threat to all but A SURE WELCOME (NAP) had Michael Attwater’s charge even further adrift here in March when quickening past Qaaraat and John Spearing’s sprinter can return to winning ways.
