Verdict

CATBOY looked to be taking a step back in the right direction until departing at Newton Abbot 17 days ago and, providing he's none the worse, Christian Williams' 5-y-o can have a big say from his reduced mark. Weir Lane shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on her recent stable debut and is a threat, with C&D scorer Diesel Line another to consider.
