Ed Dunlop doesn't look like he sends them up to Catterick for fun!! He has BY FAR his best strike rate here than at any other UK course. 34% of all runners there have won.
He sends two up today, and has booked Ben Curtis for both rides.
GLOBAL ROCK 2:50 - is a Rock of Gobraltar gelding, stepping up in trip to two miles, 2nd run after a wind op...so who knows.
AFRICAN SUN 4:25 - Also going up in trip, 1st time blinkers applied. Sitting on a very lowly handicap mark.
