2pts winWith firm potentially featuring in the going description for both British jumps meetings it's not surprising the fields are on the small side, but there are still bets to be had and hopefully Sharp Response can prove the best wager of the day at Catterick.

He bids to give Sue Smith a fourth straight success in the Watt Fences Yorkshire Grand National Handicap Chase (2.45), and he looks to hold a serious chance of doing so by defying top weight in this six-runner field.

The last two of Smith's winners also carried big weights, including I Just Know, who went off at just 14-1 for the Grand National at Aintree three months later and, while Sharp Response may not prove quite up to that level, he has given a strong indication that he wants a marathon trip.
