You Can't Catch Me has won three races over hurdles, all at Clonmel, and is 10lb higher than his last victory. Lettermacaward completed a double last autumn but was beaten such a long way on his reappearance at Sligo a week ago that he may need another run. Garri Rua was staying on over 2m4f at Bellewstown though it transpired he had broken a blood vessel. THE FITZ LADY gained her second victory in 28 starts at Cork earlier this month and though 5lb higher she still looks on a reasonable enough mark and gets the nod.
