Seven-year-old Catch Me has already won the Hatton's Grace, Lismullen and Leopardstown Christmas Hurdles this term, so what price a victory at the Cheltenham Festival?
Well, come next week, after his run in the Ladbrokes.com Boyne Hurdle at Navan on Monday, we may know a little bit more and be able to answer that very question.
The Edward O'Grady trained horse has certainly proved that he is comfortable with different distances, and in addition to running in the Boyne Hurdle I've heard that he has been entered in to the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle, as well as the Ladbrokes World Hurdle.
In a recent interview, Edward O'Grady commented that "We have been a little behind because of the inclement weather over recent days but I am very happy with the horse and the ground should be fine," when speaking about his inpending run at Navan.
In terms of his plans for Catch Me for Cheltenham, O'Grady would only say "We will see what happens".
I'll be keeping my ear to the ground with this one. I've watched him a couple of times and will do so on Monday if I can, to see how he copes with the softer ground.
