Verdict

Seven of the last nine winners of this have carried 11 stone or more and that run many continue if CAUGHTINYOURTRANCE takes another step forward. Twice a C&D winner last summer. he returns to the smaller obstacles after winning over further here last time out when showing a willing attitude. Although upped 4lb, he is only seven and may have more improvement to come. Homme Public returns to hurdles and is well-handicapped on his best form though he is without a win since 2024, so High Dancer may prove the bigger danger.
