In depth
Verdict
CATCHIN TIME bids for a hat-trick under a penalty after wins at Leicester and Plumpton last week. Laura Hurley's charge can go in again in his current form. The Sneezer won over hurdles here in November but was pulled-up in a chase at Plumpton on his latest start while Mrs Burbidge also returns to hurdling after finishing tailed off over fences at Bangor. Peqeno Diablo went close over these obstacles last month but Lifetime's fourth at Wetherby on Boxing Day looks stronger form.
