Verdict
A poor race in which Katch Me Katie may prove too strong. Jeremy Noseda's filly has shown plenty of ability to finish placed in both previous efforts at Newmarket and Windsor and the step up in trip should help her cause. Pyrrhic wasn't seen at his best when down the field in a competitive Haydock handicap last week but may have to settle for minor honours with the remainder making little appeal.
