Verdict
CAT TIGER was a long way ahead of Marracudja when an honourable second in the Foxhunters’ at Aintree. The latter is 11lb better off but it’s hard to see him turning the tables, though he did easily beat Peacocks Secret and I'm Wiser Now at Leicester in March. Clondaw Westie also holds Peacocks Secret on Cheltenham running and gets 19lb from the selection.
