Plenty with a shout in this. Perfect Words and Divertimenti were both placed on Turf last time and Presto Boy went close in a classified event over 6f here three weeks ago. Wimboldsley finished ahead of Argent Touch when third over track and trip recently while Jolly Red Jeanz found only one too good here during the week and should make another bold bid. But RAT CATCHER (NAP) has slipped down the weights and looks capable of taking advantage in this after finishing runner up over course and distance in his latest start.
