CATULLUS 2/1
CATULLUS at 2/1, Charlie Appleby and William Buick, is the one I make it. He went close off this sort of rating, beaten 3L off 107 on 31 July, was not given a hard time of it last time and comes from a yard in good heart at 43%.
The dangers are ELARAK at 5/1 (went close off this mark) and SPY CHIEF at 10/3 (went close off this mark).
