C&D winner. 18/1, creditable fifth of 17 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good) 24 days ago. Expected to be bang there dropped in class with race fitness on his side.

Three-time C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. 16/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 27 days ago, though that run can be forgiven given he blew the start.

Three wins from 14 runs last year. 11/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. May have needed that return but needs to leave form well behind.

Thrived during second half of 2024, winning 3 times, including at this venue. 12/1, last of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good) 15 days ago, on the back foot following a tardy start.

10/3
C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 28/1) 26 days ago, faring best of those held up. Eased 2 lb so has to be of major interest from inside stall.

C&D winner. Three wins from 18 runs last year. Respectable length fifth of 10 to Kyber Crystal in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 5/1) 21 days ago, keeping on when short of room. Fitness assured and he seems sure to go well if stall 12 doesn't prove to be a negative.

Beverley winner from this mark in July. Seventh of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft). Off 6 months and record fresh suggests he'll need this.

Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap (14/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 21 days ago. 3 lb ruse shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid.

Course winner. Tenth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at this course (7f, good) 14 days ago. Down in trip and cheekpieces back on so reasons to expect this time.

Good second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good, 2/1) 14 days ago. That was an excellent reappearance and she's unexposed for her age.

14:00 Catterick - 23 April 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

GLORY FIGHTER gave a good account of himself in a deeper handicap than this at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and can make the most of this ease in grade with fitness assured. Fortunate Star and Jamie's Choice are dangers assuming double-figure draws don't prove to be a hindrance.
