HATTON’S REPEAT AN OPTION FOR CATCH MEEdward O’Grady is considering switching Catch Me back to the smaller obstacles for the Bar One Racing Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Sunday week.
The seven-year-old, winner of the race 12 months ago, has been campaigned over fences so far this season, making a winning introduction at Cork before failing to complete in a Listed event at Navan.
O’Grady now needs to decide whether to let his charge have another go over the larger obstacles in the Bar One Racing Drinmore Novice Chase, or go back over timber in the Grade One hurdle he won twelve months ago when beating Brave Inca.
"He’s fine and we will certainly have to look at the Hatton’s Grace," said the County Tipperary handler.
"He’s in the Drinmore as well but he did win the Hatton’s Grace very well last year. We’ll just have to see.
"We also have Osana entered in the Drinmore, but I don’t think he’ll run."

-3054 9 Shakervilz (FR) (WPMullins) – ………..(145)Don’t know what Noel Meade’s running plans are. Muirhead could go to Newcastle on Saturday where Carberry would be free to ride him. I thought Aitmatov looked back to something approaching his best last time out and I’d take him to beat Catch Me if he runs.
Poor Poor race…..Catch me being brought back from the fences to this says something. Not sure who will win but i assume that Catch me will follow up last year’s victory.
Would like to see a good run from 90th Minute
You don’t happen to know why Noble Prince isn’t entered Wallace?
I had high hopes for him myself but he was disappointing in the Lismullen. Was hoping something came to light after that run. I think he’s a lot better than he showed there.
Who knows….intersting that Cawley was jocked off Moskova after that Sunday race in favour of Ruby. Personally i would blame the jockey for that defeat. Maybe something came up but that would only sugercoat that poor ride
If Catch Me runs then Ladbrokes 3/1 is huge- I make him practically unbeatable on soft ground at this trip.
Rocket science, it aint, but Muirhead’s going the right way and shaped well enough last time. He gets my vote.

Thanks Carv.
I hadn’t looked at the race until I saw your post, but now I have I’m tempted into a rare foray into the a.p. market.
Imo, of the only real dangers Aitmatov needs better ground (none of his heavy ground form would be good enough to win this)and Muirhead’s best at shorter (Always runs well fresh, but was thrashed by Catch Me on his last attempt over 2.5m, and trainer & jockey both have reservations about this trip).
Any doubts about CM’s hurdling technique should be ameliorated by the ground, and he looks an assured runner having been taken out of the Drinsmore, so 3/1 might look like finding money in the street, come the weekend.
Just took the 3’s about Catch Me for the Hattons Grace. With regard to Noble Prince not being enterred, Nolan said after his run at Navan that he needs a break between his races so he won’t run again till Christmas.
If Mr Thriller runs I think he will be hard to beat. His last performance was of the serious variety.
His last performance wasn’t.
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
i really hope, hardy runs a big race!! he is one of my all time favourites…he showed last year, that he still can do it..

7 Shakervilz (FR)(145) (WPMullins) – RWalsh 11,10Pleased I took the 8/1 about Aitmatov earlier on in the week. Catch Me is the one to beat but it can be hard for a horse to switch back into Grade 1 company over hurdles after being chasing. He had a bad experience at Navan last time out and it might just have left its mark on him. Wouldn’t write Hardy off. He must be showing Dessie something at home if they’ve kept him in training.
Pick of the revised prices has to be Oscar Dan Dan at Power’s 10-1. I thought he’d have held on to beat Aitmatov the last day- at the very least it would have been close. The way he was lugging he may well be better right-handed (all his wins are that way) and I couldn’t have such a big discrepancy between their prices. For those of us holding 3/1 Catch Me vouchers
he’s well worth a saver.
