Forecasts

Catchin Time (11/4), Kahdian (11/2), Diablerets (6/1), Micras (7/1), Time For Champers (10/1), Snowell (10/1), Cornelius Socks (12/1), Kristjano (14/1), Mr Magill (20/1), Call Sign Charlie (20/1), Top Of The Rocks (20/1), Eggesford (20/1), Ifandabut (25/1), Vanderbilt (25/1)

CATCHIN TIME is taken to register a seventh victory over hurdles following some good efforts in defeat of late. Kahdian ran well prior to weakening late on at Uttoxeter last time and the long standing maiden can take second ahead of Micras who ran well on her penultimate outing.
