Cats looks poised to get the cream

It wouldn't take much inspection to find an easier punting opportunity than this afternoon's Betfred Mobile Sports Ladies' Day Handicap (3.40) at Newbury but amongst the declared field of 16 runners lies a horse that has caught my eye on more than one occasion and despite the obviously competitive nature of the race, this could be the ideal contest for the progressive Jacob Cats.

Richard Hannon’s three-year-old is still very much on a learning curve and has the look of a horse that could be capable of better than he has shown to date.

He came from off the pace to win handsomely at Sandown back in May and followed up with another convincing victory at the same track last month.
