GALIDAM (1) bids to turn a pair of placed efforts into a win after placing third on chasing debut at Wetherby before filling the same spot attempting a Catterick novice handicap chase. Will be thereabouts. BLUE BEAR (5) makes seasonal reappearance and first start since May. Needs to improve from finishing seventh in a Sedgefield handicap chase. Expected to challenge following a break. COUNT ADHEMAR (2) managed to place twice in five career outings. Was fifth on most recent appearance providing first fences outing at Catterick. Possibilities. ZARA'S UNIVERSE (7) makes some attraction toward bottom of the weights.
