CATCHANOVA and Lutine Charlie know each other well as they have shared the spoils on their last two runs and with the ground back on the quick side the former gets the call to gain revenge on his rival. There was only a neck between the two when Lutine Charlie got on top last time but based on their meeting on quicker ground on the previous match-up between the pair Catchanova can reverse the form on identical terms. Youm Al Mizayin is unexposed and won well at Beverley and should go well off this mark but Catchanova looks on slightly better form.
