Catchintsavo (G)
FAV

Fairly useful form when placed in all 3 bumpers and has translated that ability to hurdles, winning 21f Ludlow maiden (soft) in January. Creditable third under a penalty at Ascot (19f, good to soft) since. Leading form claims despite conce…

Five Bar Gate (G)
[T1]
Point bumper winner who also won a Rules bumper here (soft) in December. Fair form in a pair of 19f Taunton maiden hurdles since, latterly finishing second of 8. Today's slightly longer trip should suit and he won't need to raise his game …

Unknown Stranger (G)
