Verdict

HURRY KITTY is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and though 9lb higher than that victory in July she's continued to run well and will take some beating. Santo Prince has yet to win in 17 starts over hurdles but arrives in top form having scored on the Flat at Gowran. He has to be on the shortlist along with You Can't Catch Me though the latter is 11lb higher than his only victory to date at Clonmel. Coolfighter is still a maiden over timber and Baby Whizz does better over fences.
