Verdict

CATCHING ON ran well to finish fourth over a trip short of his best here last time out and this step up in distance can see Jonjo O'Neill's charge return to the winners enclosure. The selection should appreciate the soft ground and with good chase form over further he can take advantage of his falling handicap mark today. Hadfield has been running well without winning in recent outings and can take second here ahead of Maguire's Glen who should appreciate the step up in trip today.
  1. Catching On
  2. Hadfield
  3. Maguire's Glen
