Race preview
Catterick runner-up Wasthatok can race off an unchanged mark and make his presence felt once again. Aire Spray found only one too good over C&D last month and is not out of this either, but SARACEN BEAU is taken to edge a tight contest. Recently switched to Nicky Richards' yard, the unexposed seven-year-old finished a creditable second at Bangor on his chasing and handicap debut, and reverts to the smaller obstacles with every chance off his current mark.
