Verdict

Gallant veteran, YOU CAN'T CATCH ME can land the spoils on his 47th start over hurdles. The 11-year-old can win for the fifth time over timber on his first run since September at the expense of the youngster in the field Bajan Excell who will strip fitter for his recent spin on the Flat at this venue over 2m6f earlier this month. The Henry De Bromhead-trained Ellie Mac and the Edward O'Grady-trained Le Vagabond can go close in a competitive contest.
