Formscan - Catchim put in a fine round of jumping when scoring on his debut under Rules at Southwell in June and could take a big step forward from that effort. Even so, he might find it tough to give his 7lb penalty away to TRIPOLI FLYER. Fergal O'Brien's five-year-old took the silver medal in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree prior to running with plenty of promise when finishing second on his hurdles bow at Chepstow earlier in the month. With normal improvement, he can prove hard to beat. Point-to-point winner Queens Wish completes the shortlist.
