CATCHIN TIME has been getting closer, including twice over course and distance. He’s one of the senior runners in this but is feasibly handicapped and looks the one to beat. A case can probably be made for Friary Gold and Clock On Tom, and Excellent Team generally keeps better company than this. Great Colaci has gone up 5lb for winning at Market Rasen but can’t be ignored. Red Tortue was well ahead of Bring Back Charlie at Warwick last month but Simafar will need to improve on his form so far in novice events.
