Verdict

MAKING HEADWAY takes a drop in class and looks the pick on form with more to come. The promising Hasthing made it 2 from 2 over hurdles with a fair bit more in hand the margin suggested at Catterick and shouldn't be too inconvenienced by the drop in trip. East India Express completes the shortlist.
