Formscan - CATUABA had Jack The Farmer (second) half a length behind when scoring at Warwick earlier in the month and that was his first start in a handicap, so he could have much more to come off 5lb higher. The son of Jet Away appears to have lots in his favour once more and he looks the one to side with. Whenitrainsitpours failed to justify favouritism last time at Ludlow, but he is 2lb lower now and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back.
