5/6, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago by 4 lengths from Storm Catcher. Up 9 lb but had plenty in hand there so he's not taken lightly for his new yard.

Forecasts

To Catch A Thief (15/8), Penzance (6/1), Storm Catcher (6/1), Beraz (7/1), Teumessias Fox (7/1), Sir Busker (9/1), King's Code (10/1), Wadacre Gomez (20/1), Queen Of Ipanema (22/1), West End Charmer (28/1), Dingle (33/1), Southern Voyage (100/1), Sceptic (125/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances in a cracking contest but it's still hard to ignore the claims of TO CATCH A THIEF who made a winning start in handicaps over C&D last time and still looks to have a fair bit of improvement in him. Mick Appleby's hat-trick seeker Penzance rates the main danger to William Haggas' son of Cracksman ahead of in-form pair Queen of Ipanema and Sir Busker.
