Verdict
Catch Me comes out top on official ratings but hasn't won a race since 2009. NINETIETH MINUTE, who pulled up in the Grand National, had earlier run very well in a strong race at Down Royal won by Treacle and his overall form just about gives him the edge over Sweet My Lord. Willie Mullins' charge has been racing in much better company since beating Lord Ben on his debut over fences here in August and he must pose a threat. Mazuri Cowboy ran a rare moderate race over hurdles at Gowran last time and will be suited by a return to the bigger obstacles.
