In depth
Verdict
Noble Call is generally thereabouts at all sorts of levels but the fact that he's 0-33 suggests he's best left alone. Afatcat has been chasing since he scored over hurdles from 6lb lower at Clonmel in December while Ever So Much disappointed when strongly fancied at Cork after a promising handicap debut. FARANADOONEY had been running reasonably well over timber before sent to Dundalk for a 2m handicap which he showed real battling qualities to score by a short-head. He's on a very lowly mark over timber and can follow up. Catchin Time would have a very good chance if getting a run from his reserve spot after his best run so far at Tramore last week.
