CATTLY Hang, an impressive winner at Wetherby on his latest start, can follow up at Doncaster tomorrow.

This in-form eight-year-old, trained in Lincolnshire by Jim Leigh, goes for the Doncaster Sponsorship Club Handicap Chase and will again have the services of Grand National-winning jockey Tony Dobbin.

Cattly Hang, an encouraging runner-up at Leicester on his belated reappearance on New Year's Day, fulfilled that promise at Wetherby a fortnight ago when winning by no less than 18 lengths from In Truth.

Cattly Hang, who coped well that day with the very soft ground, is equally effective on the good going he will encounter at Doncaster tomorrow. He promises to take the world of beating and is awarded the nap vote.

Norton Grange trainer Jimmy FitzGerald is going through a quiet spell but can bounce back with Coral Island in the Selby Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle.

The mount of the experienced Finbarr Leahy, Coral Island was an impressive winner of his first two races over hurdles. After a couple of months break he was far from disgraced in finishing third to Sad Mad Bad at Newcastle at the end of November.

Coral Island has been off the course again since then so his fitness has to be taken on trust but he does not look badly weighted in this, his first handicap.

Cuthill Hope should not be overlooked in the Balby Novices' Chase. Formerly trained by Mark Tompkins, who scored with him over hurdles, Cuthill Hope is now with Sue Smith and has had two runs over fences for the Bingley trainer.

A very promising third at Hexham to Red Marauder, Cuthill Hope was slightly disappointing next time out at Ayr, where he finished a well-beaten third to Jymjam Johnny after some careless jumping.

If he can get his jumping together here, Cuthill Hope is certainly not without hope. Richard Guest, Smith's stable jockey, has the mount.

Camden Moon deserves plenty of attention in the Weatherby's Stars of Tomorrow National Hunt Flat Race.

This ex-Irish recruit, now trained by Jack Hanson at Sicklinghall, near Wetherby, ran out a very impressive winner on his British debut at Musselburgh last month, beating Joe Buzz by a decisive four lengths.
