Valentine Catcher (SR:71, 11/4) is joint-top on SR alongside Kings Merchant but carries a significantly more favourable weight of 9-11 versus Kings Merchant's 10-0, a 3lb advantage that matters on good ground over 6f in a Class 6 handicap. The market has shortened 18% from the opening price — meaningful support in a field of this quality — and with a MarkMv of -19 the handicapper has been generous, giving connections a prime opportunity. Tim Easterby's yard runs two here but Dream Deal (SR:44, Mkt:out44%) is clearly the second string, leaving Valentine Catcher as the stable's #1 with David Allan booked rather than Fentiman. The GoingFit:- is a flag to note, but the class drop from their last run (ClassMv:↓1) and the dramatic mark reduction offset that concern. Each-way alternative: Hurstwood. Main danger: Hurstwood — Hurstwood (SR:70, 9/2) carries just 9-6 — 5lb less than Valentine Catcher — and boasts an outstanding course record of W4P8 at Ripon, the most compelling course-specialist profile in the field, with recent form showing a win two runs ago (Form:604711).
