Katheefa returned to winning ways at Southwell last week having slipped down the weights but the less-exposed ATTRACTED is preferred. The latter only won a match at Lingfield last time but further progress is expected in handicaps and Joseph Tuite’s charge may prove the one to side with. Coverham is creeping closer and an apprentice’s allowance helps his cause today but Critical Thinking looks no nearer winning off his current mark. Reckless Endeavour was narrowly beaten in a claimer here recently and this is no tougher so he makes more appeal than the returning Skontonovski.
