12:45 Catterick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (25/1 -79%) Backbyjet	25 25/1(-79%)	(3) Backbyjet 25/1, Winless following 9 attempts between the flags and Rules debut in a Sedgefield wasn't overly encouraging. Needs to take a sizeable step forward now switched to hurdles. Failed to win in nine runs pointing in Ireland; tailed off in a bumper; plenty to prove.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/8 +41%) Hawkseye View	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(4) Hawkseye View 13/8, Successful sole completed start in points and stepped up on his low-key hurdles debut when third in a 12-runner C&D novice (good to soft) 13 days ago. Wouldn't need to improve much on that in order to play a leading role in this contest. £15,000 buy after English point win in May; decent third over C&D last time; a possible.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/1 +50%) Rumble B	10 10/1(+50%)	(5) Rumble B 10/1, Remains a maiden after 29 starts under Rules and he's likely to find one or two too good once more. 24-race maiden over hurdles; has shown modest form; doesn't have an obvious chance.
4	2 4th (2) (4/5 +12%) Let's Go Joe	0.8 4/5(+12%)	(2) Let's Go Joe 4/5, Runner-up in a point before making a winning hurdles debut for new yard in 10-runner novice at Sedgefield (19.8f, heavy) in November. The one to beat. Good second in an Irish point; winner at Sedgefield on hurdles debut; the one to beat.
5th	7 5th (7) (80/1 +47%) Ushuaia Dancer	80 80/1(+47%)	(7) Ushuaia Dancer 80/1, Made frame completed start in points but has offered precious little in 2 starts under Rules. Modest form in Irish points and a bumper; pulled up on hurdles debut; others stronger.
6th	8 6th (8) (50/1 +0%) Walk My Way	50 50/1(+0%)	(8) Walk My Way 50/1, Failed to threaten in 7 starts between the flags and went with little promise when pulled up in a Sedgefield maiden on hurdles debut. Modest form pointing in Ireland and was pulled up on hurdles debut; best watched for now.
7th	6 7th (6) (125/1 +17%) Samillier	125 125/1(+17%)	(6) Samillier 125/1, Ninth of 10 in bumper at Newcastle on debut/sole start for Mark Walford last December. Pulled up on 2 of his 3 subsequent starts between the flags and the outcome was the same starting out over hurdles at Hexham 19 days ago. Modest pointer who was tailed off on hurdles debut; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

12:45 Catterick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

There was far more encouragement to be taken from HAWKSEYE VIEW's recent third-placed finish over C&D and he looks to hold every chance of gaining a breakthrough victory in this sphere. Penalised French hurdle winner Jiair Madrik has some fair form to his name and Donald McCain's charge could give the selection plenty to think about on his UK debut, while Rumble B boasts plenty of experience in this discipline.

LET'S GO JOE won on hurdle bow at Sedgefield in November and this looks a good opportunity for a follow up. Hawkseye View left his Rules debut form behind when third over C&D recently and he's next best ahead of French-import Jiair Madrik and the exposed Rumble B.

Former Irish pointer LET'S GO JOE, successful at Sedgefield on his hurdles debut, is taken to beat the progressive Hawkseye View.

13:20 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (9/2 -50%) Belle Na Bann	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(10) Belle Na Bann 9/2, Dual winner for Neil Mulholland in summer 2022 and back on track when opening account for Micky Hammond at Newcastle (17f, soft) 18 days ago. 3 lb rise tolerable and she should be in the mix. Won her third race over hurdles last time and should go well again despite 3lb rise.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/2 -117%) Restandbethankful	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(4) Restandbethankful 13/2, Three-time winner in this sphere and notched second success over fences at Sedgefield in October. Found just one too good in a Musselburgh handicap chase (20.3f, soft) a fortnight ago and needs considering back hurdling off a 7 lb lower mark. All wins have been on good/good to soft but has run well on soft; been chasing recently.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +75%) Chase A Fortune	3 3/1(+75%)	(3) Chase A Fortune 3/1, Made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in a C&D maiden last February. Rather disappointing since but the handicapper is showing mercy and he's dangerous to discount back here. C&D maiden winner season; not done so well in handicaps this term but on a good mark now.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -40%) Calevade	7 7/1(-40%)	(2) Calevade 7/1, Showed a real liking for Cartmel during the summer, winning back-to-back handicaps in May/June. Good second off this mark at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) last time and he's one to consider. Two wins on good in May/June but has since done well on more testing going; contender.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 -33%) Vocal Duke	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) Vocal Duke 6/1, Back on-song when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) in October. Failed to back that up at Newcastle next time but he remains on a handy mark and big chance if on a going day. Inconsistent this term but chance on his Carlisle second in first-time headgear in October.
6th	9 6th (9) (15/2 +25%) Emily Wade	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(9) Emily Wade 15/2, Made second handicap start a winning one at Southwell in March and placed on her next 4 outings. Form has dipped slightly the last twice but, on the upside, her mark is on the slide and she could have a say. 2m4f winner in March; below-par last three runs but on a fair mark and is down in trip.
7th	8 7th (8) (5/1 +50%) Lovin Jukebox	5 5/1(+50%)	(8) Lovin Jukebox 5/1, Best run over hurdles when runner-up on 17f Sedgefield handicap debut in March. Failed to build on that next time but it's still early days and he's worth a second look for a yard that has won this race twice in recent years. Decent second in a novice handicap hurdle in March; could go well back from a break.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -21%) Bamboo Bay	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Bamboo Bay 40/1, Largely struggled on the Flat in 2023 and beaten a long way returned to hurdles here recently. Well beaten 150-1 shot when returning to hurdling last month and has plenty to prove.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (33/1 -230%) High Up In The Air	33 33/1(-230%)	(5) High Up In The Air 33/1, Won 5 on the bounce over fences in 2020/21 but hasn't shown much since and was starting to feel the pinch when unseating 4 out on return/debut for new yard in a handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f, soft) last week. Hard to know what to expect of him back over hurdles. Won four chases in a row two seasons ago; not so good since; on a good mark back hurdling.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (100/1 -203%) Barranco	100 100/1(-203%)	(7) Barranco 100/1, Bumper winner for Stuart Crawford in 2021 but lightly-raced since and hasn't shown much in 2 starts for present yard. Bumper winner in 2021; has some fair hurdles form; pulled up after a long break last month.

LTO Selection:

13:20 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Belle Na Bann capitalised off a career-low mark when landing the spoils at Newcastle recently. A 3lb rise in the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from the mare and she must enter calculations. However, RESTANDBETHANKFUL has been in good form over fences of late and switches to hurdles off a 10lb lower rating. The eight-year-old just shades the verdict, with Calevade completing the shortlist.

RESTANDBETHANKFUL failed to fire on his latest start in this sphere in August but is well worth another chance having hit the crossbar off a 7 lb higher mark over fences recently at Musselburgh where he pulled clear of the rest. Vocal Duke is feared most, for all that he's proving to be rather hit-and-miss, while Belle Na Bann has to enter calculations on the back of her Newcastle success and Chase A Fortune would be a threat if able to get back on track.

After his good second to a progressive sort at Sedgefield last time CALEVADE (nap) is taken to win an open-looking handicap.

13:20 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:55 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (15/8 +44%) Conquredalofeurope	1.875 15/8(+44%)	(3) Conquredalofeurope 15/8, Fairly useful chaser at his best but not at his best in trio of starts this term, the market drop back in trip a partial excuse when well beaten fourth of 5 in handicap at Leicester (20.1f) 3 weeks ago. Eased further 3 lb and return to this longer trip a plus at least. Form has deteriorated but mark has dropped and he's not written off in a weak-looking race.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/1 -60%) Ideal Du Tabert	2 2/1(-60%)	(2) Ideal Du Tabert 2/1, Fair maiden hurdler who has reached a similar level in a couple of chase starts this winter, fourth of 8 in maiden at Clonmel (16.8f) last month. Can't be discounted for all he needs to confirm his stamina for this trip. Not obviously well treated for first h'cap chase but this Irish 6yo is worth a second look.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 -14%) Not What It Seems	2 2/1(-14%)	(1) Not What It Seems 2/1, Completed hat-trick of novice hurdle successes when seeing off 5 rivals at Wetherby in October 2022. Lightly raced subsequently, but likely he'll strip fitter for his reappearance third over hurdles 18 days ago and he remains with potential in this sphere. Possibilities. Stamina to prove but could have a part to play if seeing out the trip.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (20/1 -43%) Massons Castle	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) Massons Castle 20/1, Hurdles winner in Ireland who made the frame without shaping well when runner-up at Southwell (25.8f) in September and beaten long way out faced with testing ground at Sedgefield (27f) 46 days ago. Others make greater appeal. Pulled up at Sedgefield last time and sole win came back in 2021; others are preferred.

LTO Selection:

13:55 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

NOT WHAT IT SEEMS had a nice spin over hurdles on his seasonal bow at Newcastle last month, which should have put him spot on for this return to chasing. The eight-year-old does need to prove his stamina now upped to 3m1f, but he is bred to relish it. Ideal Du Tabert has operated at a fair level in Ireland of late and Cian Collins' inmate is feared most ahead of Conquredalofeurope.

NOT WHAT IT SEEMS displayed plenty of promise on the first of 2 starts over fences last winter and, with a solid comeback run over hurdles under his belt, he looks the way to go from his easing mark. Irish- raider Ideal du Tabert can emerge as the chief threat.

Irish challenger IDEAL DU TABERT has shown promise on his first two chase starts and earns the vote.

13:55 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Catterick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +82%) Justus	4.5 9/2(+82%)	(4) Justus 9/2, Fairly useful on Flat for Ian Williams (stays 16.5f). Showed a glimmer of aptitude for hurdling at Wetherby in November but not enough to make him of interest. Flat stayer; has potential for hurdles but he was tailed off at Wetherby in November.
2	3 2nd (3) (Evens -37%) Jimmy Chou Pecos AA	0 Evens(-37%)	(3) Jimmy Chou Pecos AA Evens, Placed all 4 starts over hurdles, shaping better than the bare result when third of 13 in novice at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) in November. Back down in trip and this looks a golden opportunity to get off the mark. Form has dipped; in danger of becoming disappointing but he's still a key player today.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/2 -43%) Iorangi De L'isle	2.5 5/2(-43%)	(2) Iorangi De L'isle 5/2, Won his completed start in Irish points and shaped well when finishing a close third in bumper at this C&D (good to soft) in November. Likely sort with attentions quickly turned to hurdling. Point winner who showed promise here in sole bumper; one to consider on first hurdle start.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 +75%) Local Drama	10 10/1(+75%)	(5) Local Drama 10/1, Runner-up on the second of his 2 starts between the flags but not enough encouragement on hurdling debut at Hexham back in June to recommend him in this. Displayed ability in a point but tailed off on sole rules start (last June).

LTO Selection:

14:30 Catterick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA sets a fair standard in this contest with a rating of 124 after he hit the frame over 2m4f on heavy ground at Hexham on his latest outing. He looks to have been found a golden opportunity to get his head in front. The main danger is Iorangi De L'isle, who makes his debut over hurdles after just one bumper start when beaten two lengths into third at this track. Ravanelli is another to consider.

A golden opportunity for JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA, who is yet to finish out of the placings in this sphere and John McConnell's Irish-raider should come on from his recent Hexham outing. Iorangi de l'Isle shaped well in a course bumper on his Rules debut so he looks the obvious threat, with Ravenelli seemingly best of the rest.

This could go to the Donald McCain-trained point winner IORANGI DE L'ISLE, who is preferred over Jimmy Chou Pecos AA.

14:30 Catterick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:05 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 25f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (16/5 +29%) Skyhill	3.2 16/5(+29%)	(2) Skyhill 16/5, Won this race last season before ending campaign with another success at Sedgefield. Entitled to be sharper for November's return and he's not discounted. Won this last year; didn't run badly at Sedgefield on reappearance & could improve for it.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 -67%) Event Of Sivola	2.5 5/2(-67%)	(3) Event Of Sivola 5/2, Took advantage of a reduced mark to gamely see off Gibberwell in an 8-runner handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, heavy, 9/2) 19 days ago. Has won from this higher mark before and he sets the standard with visor reapplied. Won on heavy ground at Hexham last month and could be in the mix up 5lb.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/5 -16%) Gibberwell	3.2 16/5(-16%)	(4) Gibberwell 16/5, Got off the mark over fences at Hexham n April and has been on the wrong side of narrow defeats on each of his last 2 outings, latterly when beaten by Event of Sivola at that same course last month. Meets that rival on better terms this time and should go well again. Runner-up at Hexham the last twice; different course but bang there if good form continues.
4	6 4th (6) (10/3 +49%) Dark Duomo	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(6) Dark Duomo 10/3, Poor maiden hurdler for Philip Hobbs & Johnson White and failed to land a blow behind Event of Sivola at Hexham (24.2f, heavy) on debut over fences 19 days ago. More needed. Lightly raced 6yo; no match for two of these on chase debut but may have needed the run.
5th	1 5th (1) (25/1 -56%) Largy Train	25 25/1(-56%)	(1) Largy Train 25/1, Made a winning debut in bumper for Stuart Crawford in May 2021 but was pulled up on 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles and he's hard to fancy sent chasing. Pulled up on handicap hurdle debut at Newcastle and something to prove now over fences.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -25%) The Electrician	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) The Electrician 10/1, Dual winner over shorter last season but efforts for current yard haven't quite of the same standard and he'll likely to need a couple to underperform if he's to play a major role. Fair third at Doncaster last month on second run for yard but pulled up at Carlisle since.

LTO Selection:

15:05 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

EVENT OF SIVOLA had Gibberwell (second) and Dark Duomo (fourth) behind when scoring by just under two lengths over 3m at Hexham last time. He looks to have lots in his favour to confirm that form. Skyhill made a solid return to action when finishing third over 3m3f at Sedgefield in November and could get involved off a 1lb lower rating, while The Electrician is better than his latest effort at Carlisle.

EVENT OF SIVOLA can uphold Hexham form with Gibberwell, having previously been competeitive from marks even higher than the 5 lb rise he's been handed for that success. Gibberwell himself should pose the biggest threat again, with last year's winner Skyhill also not discounted.

C&D winner SKYHILL could be sharper for his November reappearance at Sedgefield and he is the pick. Gibberwell is second choice.

15:39 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/4 -63%) Abbeyhill	2.25 9/4(-63%)	(3) Abbeyhill 9/4, Irish point winner who landed a gamble at Plumpton (25f) in November, suited by the step up in trip. Backed up that effort when second at Taunton (23.9f) 10 days later, so he looks a major player with more still to offer. Has improved for the step up to 3m+; a possible, but testing going a slight concern.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/4 +66%) My Strong Man	2.75 11/4(+66%)	(7) My Strong Man 11/4, Maiden handicap hurdler who, after a spin on the Flat, offered little when down the field at Newcastle in November. However, he's now only 1 lb higher than when finishing runner-up in this race in 2023, so he's not written off. 22-race maiden; second to Just Jess in this race in 2023; below par on last two starts.
3	8 3rd (8) (4/1 +71%) Oliver's Island	4 4/1(+71%)	(8) Oliver's Island 4/1, Winner of this race in 2021 and gained his first success since when scoring at Market Rasen (23.1f) in December 2022. Only the 2 starts in 2023, finishing mid-field at Newcastle 18 days ago, but he's on a dangerous mark as he goes back up in trip. C&D winner two years ago; not in the best of form recently; others look stronger.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +0%) Howzat Hiris	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Howzat Hiris 4/1, Seen to maximum effect when opening her account in a Newcastle handicap (23.7f) in March, before going off too hard on her final outing of the campaign. Looked rusty on her return in November, but stepped up on that run when second at Market Rasen last time. Respected. Newcastle winner last season; best run since when 2nd last time; conditions suit; chance.
5th	1 5th (1) (8/1 +33%) Magna Moralia	8 8/1(+33%)	(1) Magna Moralia 8/1, Sole success from 18 starts over hurdles was registered back in March 2021. Form has been in and out this season, running one of his better races when fifth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (20.9f) in November. Capable of getting involved if on a going day. Some fair form at up to 2m4f last year; this trip on testing ground not sure to be ideal.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 -60%) Brasingaman Bella	40 40/1(-60%)	(6) Brasingaman Bella 40/1, Hinted at ability in bumpers but has shown little over hurdles so far, pulled up on her handicap debut at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in November. Needs to leave her previous form behind tried over this longer trip in blinkers. Modest form; needs to improve for this step up in trip and the addition of blinkers.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (80/1 +20%) Choungaya	80 80/1(+20%)	(4) Choungaya 80/1, One-time useful chaser in Ireland but his form has been going the wrong way, failing to complete on all 5 starts of the current campaign. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Fair hurdler in Ireland; has become disappointing; well treated but plenty to prove.

LTO Selection:

15:39 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HOWZAT HIRIS produced a much better performance to fill the runner-up spot over 2m7f at Market Rasen last time and the handicapper raised her just 1lb for that display. The daughter of Al Namix looks well placed to go one better and record her second career victory. The main threat is Just Jess, who was beaten into fifth here over an extended 2m3f last time and could appreciate the step back up in distance. Of the remainder, Brasingaman Bella makes the most appeal.

ABBEYHILL has shown much improved form upped in trip, getting off the mark at Plumpton in November before running at least as well when second at Taunton next time, so he looks to hold leading claims. Just Jess is now 2 lb lower than when winning this race in 2023 and can make her presence felt, with Howzat Hiris also one to note.

In a low-grade content, JUST JESS is taken to repeat last year's win by beating last month's Market Rasen runner-up Howzat Hiris.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
