Inconsistent sort who was soundly beaten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and his losing run continues; however, he kept on well for second at Pontefract (6f, good) two starts ago and is not written off.

20 Oct 2023·Happy 40th Birthday Gary Sivills EBF Novice Stakes (Horses With No More Than 3 Runs) (GBB Race) · Redcar
Valentine Catcher showed enough at home but first-time-out in those conditions, you'd think it wouldn't be ideal. He was a bit slow away and a bit green but he travelled nicely and got there quite easily. There's obviously plenty of potential there and I was quite impressed - David Allan, jockey.
