Catchin Time won twice at the start of the year but hasn’t raced since March. PASAKA BOY has only run twice over hurdles but won five times on the Flat. Though last of three when last seen at Market Rasen in June, he wasn’t beaten far and the soft ground will aid his cause. Generous Day’s victory at Southwell last month was franked when the second won earlier in the week while Wind Place And Sho ran well on his handicap debut at Fontwell and should also give a good account. Crackdeloust was in good form in the spring and a recent fall came over fences.
