Check if record exist in Cakephp 3

Question

I want to check if a record exists inside a database. But how to handle with the RecordNotFoundException that's trowed before the if statement?

$Content = $this->Content->get($id);

if (!$Content) {
   // forward to 404
}

// Go further

I've also tried to use catch but that's giving the same RecordNotFoundException.

try {
    $Content = $this->Content->get($id);
} catch (RecordNotFoundException $exception) {
    // forward to 404
}
