Formscan - Recent Catterick winner Kings Merchant merits consideration raised only 2lb. He's preferred to Valentine Catcher, who placed yet again when third at Leicester last time, but it could pay to stick with HURSTWOOD. Peter Niven's charge arrives off the back of a double at Redcar, having made all on both occasions, and he could take some pegging back if allowed his own way in front once again.
