2/1
Catchintsavo didn’t do a lot wrong when finishing second in a Class 2 at Exeter on debut for this yard and he won’t need to find much improvement to go one better here. Anthony Honeyball is operating at a strike-rate of 30 per cent in the last fortnight and could have another winner.

13/8 Catchintsavo,
