Verdict

Christian Williams has his string in decent order and, having been gambled on, CATBOY was shaping up encouragingly prior to unseating over fences at Ludlow 55 days ago. He could be worth chancing to defy a basement mark back over hurdles before market clues, though confidence behind Olly Murphy handicap newcomer Kenzoko would put a different slant on things. Course scorer Eric Carmen is another to note.
