You Can't Catch Me has won twice over hurdles, both times on this track including last month. He loves fast ground and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent another big run. However, CABARETE (NAP) was so impressive when scoring at Tramore last week that even an 8lb rise shouldn't be enough to prevent a repeat. Pleased As Punch hasn't won since 2014 but is still 10lb higher while Double Windsor makes his handicap debut after nine runs in maidens. Anna Holty beat a big field here last month but didn't stay when tackling 2m7f at Ballinrobe where she was beaten when unseating her rider.
