Running-on sixth in 5f Catterick h'cap latest; interesting for in-form yard now up to 6f
7 (7)	Stormy Pearl Bay J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:David Thompson	J:Rhys Elliott(5) T:David Thompson	134	p	27686-	54	66	57	165d	—	—	-2	3.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%

8 (2)	What What What Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	133	—	-44391	53	64	33	53d	—	—	+9	13.3	6.25/1	25/1 4%
