Verdict
Hopefully Laura Hurley is proud of the fact that Catchin Time has been raised 7lb by the assessor at the age of 13! His shock 125/1 win last time at this venue reads quite well, as most of his opposition here are struggling for form. It's not an easy race to feel confident about but KENDELU is more consistent than most, goes well on sharpish tracks and handles good ground. He should be there or thereabouts. Keep an eye on Your Band in the market as there have been suggestions on both starts since an absence of over a year that the useful ability he revealed in 2019 could still be burning. Manjaam and Northern Bound have a shout at their best too.
