Hurstwood landed three back-to-back wins last summer, all of which were on good or good-to-firm ground, so it was little surprise that he struggled on heavy ground on his season debut at Thirsk three weeks ago.
Indeed, not only was this six-year-old gelding asked to perform in unsuitable conditions after a five-month break, he was also demanded too much from an unfavourable draw and understandably weakened late on.
If that outing can be written off as a necessary pipe-opener, then the stars are much better aligned here at Catterick, where the improving ground will suit, as will the five-pound allowance of his in-form claimer Mark Winn.
Hurstwood has proved to be a popular choice among Tipstrr's pundits, who have been happy to advise an each-way punt, especially if you can find a bookmaker offering four places.
Suggested bet: Hurstwood each-way in the 16:20 at Catterick
