Race preview
CAITHNESS made a highly promising start to his career over fences when narrowly denied at Hexham last month. A 3lb rise for that effort looks manageable and having scored on soft ground before, the eight-year-old gets the vote ahead of Skycutter, who ran well himself on his chasing bow at Warwick when second over 2m4f. Not outside the first three in his last five starts, Dance Thief is another to consider.
