Quite A Catch will need to improve again to land his hat-trick after winning a couple of low grade races, but Conducting will be taking advantage of his slide down the weights soon. May Be Some Time showed a bit more at Salisbury last month and Lieutenant Kojak got off the mark at Wolverhampton three weeks ago, but a chance is taken on MUHANDIS. He beat subsequent hat-trick hero Emilio Largo back in May and has been dropped 6lb since. With Richard Old taking another 7lb off his back today, Nick Littmoden's charge looks to have solid claims.
