Catchin Time has been thriving in the mud in recent weeks but steps up a grade off a 10lb higher mark in pursuit of a hat-trick. Yorgonnahearmeroar is less exposed having got off the mark at Hereford last time but the handicapper has also taken him to task. THE GIPPER has already won twice over course and distance and is another who likes soft going. He’s probably still on a decent mark and can run the finish out of these if his jumping doesn’t let him down again. Makethedifference may struggle to reverse Warwick running with Catchin Time, despite better terms, while Tara River returns from a break and has his first start for new connections.
