Race preview
NOCTE VOLATUS was an easy winner of his penultimate start at Catterick, making amends for falling at the last when in control at Market Rasen the time before on his chasing debut. He blotted his copybook when running out at the first fence when attempting to back his victory up at Hereford, but the seven-year-old is capable of better and could prove tough to beat with a clear round. Avoid De Master can enter calculations following his most recent success at Newcastle, while Full Of Surprises completes the shortlist.
