Possibly not quite as deep or competitive as the first division with the Hughie Morrison-trained Fame And Glory mare Miss Austen setting the clear form standard. She merits much respect on her return to the track (from a 303-day absence) along with the longer-term prospect Follow That (Olly Murphy). However, the Andoversford based handler Kim Bailey is operating a 23% strike-rate (5-22) with his NHF runners this jumps season, and it's a reasonable assumption to make that the Paul & Clare Rooney-owned debutante CATCH ME NOT (cost €40,000 as a three-year-old) could prove capable of enhancing those rather tasty statistics.
