Thurles Next For Catch Me

Edward O'Grady will wait an extra week with Catch Me for a more pragmatic target.

Sunday's Giltspur Scientific Tara Hurdle at Navan was the anticipated next race for the German import, who was a decisive 13-length winner at Fairyhouse at the start of the month.

However, there has been a change of plan.

O'Grady explained: 'I walked the track at Navan last week and it was very heavy.

'Happily I have found him another nice race a week later on the 23rd at Thurles (the Horse and Jockey Hotel Hurdle).

'He will probably face much lesser rivals than at Navan and I expect he will be a ?money on' shot.'

Third to Massini's Maguire at the Cheltenham Festival, Catch Me has always shown promise, although the victory in the Fairyhouse conditions event was his first in over a year.

O'Grady also reported another of his stars, Sky's The Limit, to be back in action shortly, with a start over Christmas in the pipeline.
