1	1 1st (1) (10/11 -10%) Hasthing		0.909091 10/11(-10%)																															(1) Hasthing 10/11, French bumper winner who made a very encouraging start for this yard last season, putting up a smart effort when third in Aintree Grade 2 bumper. Resumed with stylish hurdling debut success at Leicester and very much the one to beat. Bright prospect. Won at Leicester on hurdle debut; didn't jump well but he's a useful prospect.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +27%) Pic Roc		4 4/1(+27%)																															(6) Pic Roc 4/1, Mount Nelson gelding who progressed with each start in bumpers before shaping well on his hurdling bow when fifth of 9 in novice at Newbury (20.5f, heavy, 40/1) 22 days ago. Can step forward and make his presence felt. Placed in bumpers and could improve for his hurdle debut fifth; possible player.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/2 -63%) Defence Witness		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(3) Defence Witness 13/2, Won sole start in points before showing fairly useful form when landing 4-runner bumper here 48 days ago. Much respected now going over hurdles stepped up in trip. 2-2 with wins in point/bumper; this trip promises to suit on h'dle debut; brings potential.
4	7 4th (7) (100/1 -100%) Ushuaia Dancer		100 100/1(-100%)																															(7) Ushuaia Dancer 100/1, Made frame completed start in points but only modest form shown in 3 starts under Rules. Others appeal more. Not beaten far over C&D on New Year's Day but in a much weaker race than this.
5th	8 5th (8) (150/1 -355%) Walk My Way		150 150/1(-355%)																															(8) Walk My Way 150/1, Failed to threaten between the flags and has offered little in two runs over hurdles this winter. Respectable sixth of seven at 50-1 over C&D recently but today's company is much tougher.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/4 +21%) Here Comes Georgie		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(2) Here Comes Georgie 11/4, Fair hurdler who got off the mark in 10-runner novice at Carlisle (17f, soft) 25 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won at Carlisle last month; could continue to progress and he's respected under a penalty.
7th	5 7th (5) (125/1 -89%) Imperial Rule		125 125/1(-89%)																															(5) Imperial Rule 125/1, Placed in Irish points and hinted at promise in a first-time tongue strap when fifth of 8 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) 16 days ago. Needs another step forward. Fair third in Irish point last April but well beaten at big odds on both hurdle starts.
8th	4 8th (4) (150/1 -127%) Hemicycle		150 150/1(-127%)																															(4) Hemicycle 150/1, Maiden Irish pointer who was down the field in a novice hurdle at Wetherby on Rules debut. Makes little appeal. Displayed some ability in points but tailed off at 50-1 on rules debut at Wetherby.

13:55 Catterick Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Raw ability appeared to get HASTHING over the line at Leicester, where he won despite some indifferent jumping. The seven-year-old will have learned plenty from that experience, however, and he is expected to progress under the penalty. Defence Witness made a successful Rules debut in a bumper here 48 days ago and the son of Court Cave merits respect now switched to hurdles. Here Comes Georgie can chase them home.

HASTHING looked an exciting prospect when going in at the first time of asking over hurdles at Leicester and this smart bumper winner is fancied to defy a penalty here before moving up in grade. Pic Roc shaped well when fifth at Newbury on his debut in this sphere and is feared most, with newcomer Defence Witness appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Grade 2 bumper third HASTHING didn't jump well at Leicester on his hurdle debut but still won and is open to considerable improvement.

1	6 1st (6) (7/2 +22%) Track And Trace		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(6) Track And Trace 7/2, Placed in an Irish point and got off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt when scoring at Warwick on return. Well held next 2 starts but big improvement when only just denied by a subsequent winner at Carlisle last month. That was his only second run over fences so high on shortlist. Latest form franked and this unexposed 7yo brings potential to today's marathon trip.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 +33%) Crixus's Escape		8 8/1(+33%)																															(7) Crixus's Escape 8/1, Capitalised on a career-low mark in some style to record a first success in over 3 years when landing 11-runner handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. That contest unfolded to his benefit, though, and more required to follow up from 8 lb higher mark. Easy 3m1f win here recently; not dismissed but this is tougher and he's unproven at trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 -33%) Court At Slip		6 6/1(-33%)																															(4) Court At Slip 6/1, Likeable sort who scored 3 times last season and all the better for return when resuming winning ways at Newcastle 4 weeks ago. looking value for a fair bit more than the neck margin. Should go well again if seeing out this longer trip. Four wins (at up to 3m3f) from his nine chases and this 7yo could continue to improve.
4	2 4th (2) (13/2 -117%) No Cruise Yet		6.5 13/2(-117%)																															(2) No Cruise Yet 13/2, Likeable staying chaser who dug deep to win 3m 4f handicap at Haydock last season. Some good placed efforts after, including when third at Newcastle 4 weeks ago. Can be in the mix again. 3m4f winner who went very close in the Durham National on reappearance; respected.
5th	1 5th (1) (13/2 +19%) Bushypark		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(1) Bushypark 13/2, Inconsistent nowadays but back to form when taking advantage of lower hurdles mark at Haydock last month. Good winner of this race 12 months ago off 5 lb lower so big run wouldn't surprise. Eased down to win this last year & scored over hurdles at Haydock last time; strong claims.
3	3 |PU| (3) (4/1 +27%) Ladronne		4 4/1(+27%)																															(3) Ladronne 4/1, Course winner who ran his best race for a while when second at Newcastle off this mark 19 days ago. Considered back in trip. In good form at end of last year and this trip may well be within range; not ruled out.
8	8 |PU| (8) (7/1 +0%) Shadows In The Sky		7 7/1(+0%)																															(8) Shadows In The Sky 7/1, Point winner. Failed to go on over hurdles but all the better for chase bow/return when third at Musselburgh last month, shaping as if this longer trip will suit. Not taken lightly. Marathon trip is well worth exploring with this lightly raced 8yo and he's one to consider.
5	5 |PU| (5) (12/1 -50%) Glittering Love		12 12/1(-50%)																															(5) Glittering Love 12/1, Veteran who isn't the most consistent nowadays and others more persuasive. Kept on for fair fourth over 2m7f last time; could build on it now back up in trip.

14:30 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 3) 30f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

BUSHYPARK made most when landing the corresponding event off a 5lb lower mark 12 months ago. Philip Kirby's charge got back on track over hurdles at Haydock last month, so he is expected to mount a stern challenge in a bid to retain his crown. No Cruise Yet continues to run well in defeat and he is unlikely to be far away, along with Ladronne, who ought to appreciate a return to further having hit the woodwork over 2m4f at Newcastle last time.

TRACK AND TRACE showed big improvement on his second chase start when just denied by a subsequent winner at Carlisle and edges the vote over in-form pair Court At Slip and Ladronne.

Topweight BUSHYPARK won this in fine style 12 months ago and will be tough to catch if in the same form today.

1	9 1st (9) (15/2 +38%) Shantou Moon		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(9) Shantou Moon 15/2, Off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (22.7f) in February last year. Made the frame on his next 2 starts but, tried in blinkers, failed to come on for his recent run when down the field at Musselburgh in November. Needs to get back on track with cheekpieces reapplied. On a competitive mark on form last February/March but below best more recently.
2	10 2nd (10) (17/2 -42%) Dillarchie		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(10) Dillarchie 17/2, Opened her hurdles account at Wetherby (24.1f) last April but well below that level on her next 3 outings. After 4 months off, better signs when fifth at Huntingdon (25f) in October, but failed to build on that effort at Doncaster last time. Cheekpieces now reached for. Won at Wetherby last April but hasn't shone since; cheekpieces need to prompt a revival.
3	7 3rd (7) (3/1 -50%) Post Chaise		3 3/1(-50%)																															(7) Post Chaise 3/1, Recorded third chase success of his career at Market Rasen (23.9f) in November (second past the post but subsequently awarded race). Can be thereabouts once more from his lower mark over hurdles. Engaged 12.20 Doncaster Wednesday. Three chase wins last year and has 7lb lower hurdle mark; one to consider.
4	6 4th (6) (11/2 -57%) Spice Diva		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(6) Spice Diva 11/2, Making only her second start in a handicap, produced her best effort so far when runner-up in 22-runner event at Punchestown (23.9f) in December. Remains lightly raced and she can open her account with further progress to come. Promise over 3m in first two handicaps and could play leading role for in-form stable.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 +31%) Tim Pat		11 11/1(+31%)																															(3) Tim Pat 11/1, Completed a hat-trick in early-2022 but without a win since (has been racing over fences) and he's been struggling for form, faring no better in first-time blinkers when well held at Musselburgh last time. Return to hurdling needs to spark a revival. Continues to drop down weights; the return to hurdles needs to reignite some spark.
6th	4 6th (4) (15/2 +6%) Bonne Vitesse		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(4) Bonne Vitesse 15/2, Fair hurdler at best who was successful at Ripon on the Flat in May. Good second at Pontefract on her final start on the level in October, but not in the same form back over hurdles when fourth at Sedgefield (19.8f) last time. On a workable mark as she goes up in trip. Plenty of stamina on the Flat and could be suited by this step up in trip.
7th	1 7th (1) (4/1 +67%) Son Of The Somme		4 4/1(+67%)																															(1) Son Of The Somme 4/1, Won over fences at Sedgefield in January last year and, after a couple of below-par efforts, returned to form in first-time blinkers when third in handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f) in November. Found it tougher at Cheltenham next time, but could fare better back up in trip. Third at Ayr then down the field at Cheltenham; could bounce back now back down in grade.
8th	2 8th (2) (22/1 -340%) The King Of May		22 22/1(-340%)																															(2) The King Of May 22/1, Got back on track returned to hurdling when making the frame on his first 2 starts this season. Below expectations over fences at Sedgefield (19.3f) last time, but he can make his presence felt quickly back over hurdles as he goes up in trip with headgear left off. Stamina to prove and not the force of old but might not be far away if seeing it out.
9th	8 9th (8) (40/1 -60%) One Fer Mamma		40 40/1(-60%)																															(8) One Fer Mamma 40/1, Fair winning hurdler/chaser for Matt Sheppard but his form has gone the wrong way in 3 starts over hurdles for his current yard, pulled up after 9 months off at Hexham in December. Has enough to prove at present. On a reduced mark but he struggled last year and others are preferred.
5	5 |PU| (5) (10/1 +70%) Milvale		10 10/1(+70%)																															(5) Milvale 10/1, Only win to date came on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (22.7f) back in February 2020. After 23 months off, probably needed the run when seventh of 11 at Ayr in December. This run should reveal more having eased further in the weights. Has to prove how much ability he retains but on a dangerous mark and not written off.

15:05 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Irish handler Stuart Crawford likes his winners across the sea and he looks to have found an ideal opportunity for SPICE DIVA, who was runner-up to a progressive sort at Punchestown last month. The seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of The King Of May, who shaped with some promise when last sighted over hurdles at Carlisle in November. Bonne Vitesse is another to bear in mind.

SPICE DIVA ran well when second of 22 at Punchestown on her latest outing and she can go one better as she makes only her third start in a handicap. The 7-y-o is taken to get the better of The King of May, who lurks on a dangerous mark as he reverts to hurdling, while Post Chaise is one to consider if taking up this engagement.

The mare SPICE DIVA (nap) has shaped with promise since upped to 3m in handicaps and can post her first rules win.

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +33%) Freddy Robinson		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(3) Freddy Robinson 10/3, Fair maiden on Flat who ran out an easy winner of thin 2m Musselburgh juvenile in December. Down the field both starts on the level recently but did post a good third in a handicap at aforementioned venue when last seen over hurdles. Hasn't shone on AW lately but hurdling is more his game; could have a part to play.
2	6 2nd (6) (20/1 +39%) Very Excellent		20 20/1(+39%)																															(6) Very Excellent 20/1, Produced his best effort for a while (fit from the Flat) when beaten only by an unexposed one in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) in August. Wasn't in anything like the same form at Market Rasen 3 months later, though. Some good Flat/hurdles form last summer but tailed off at Market Rasen last month.
3	9 3rd (9) (28/1 -75%) Jumbo Veste Verte		28 28/1(-75%)																															(9) Jumbo Veste Verte 28/1, Little solid form and needs to find plenty of improvement now handicapping. This handicap debut provides a far more realistic opportunity but improvement is required.
4	5 4th (5) (11/4 -83%) Present Fair		2.75 11/4(-83%)																															(5) Present Fair 11/4, Brushed off a disappointing run over fences when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy, 28/1) 20 days ago. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. Won when back over hurdles at Uttoxeter three weeks ago and is just 3lb higher today.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/4 +55%) Thunderclap		1.5 6/4(+55%)																															(4) Thunderclap 6/4, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat and made steady progress in this sphere last season, winning a Sedgefield maiden in April. Possibly in need of run back from 8 months off at Bangor 40 days ago and better showing anticipated. Tailed off on h'cap hurdle debut but may have needed the run; has potential off this mark.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/1 +50%) Polisud		7 7/1(+50%)																															(7) Polisud 7/1, Fairly useful chase/hurdle winner at best in France but has shown little in 4 outings for current yard. Down in trip. Well handicapped on old French form but he's struggled in Britain.
2	2 |PU| (2) (50/1 -100%) Fricotin		50 50/1(-100%)																															(2) Fricotin 50/1, A fairly useful hurdles/chase winner for Francois Nicolle in 2022 but no show in a handicap chase/hurdle for new yard this winter. Too soon to write off but has something to prove for now. Two-time French winner; one to watch in betting but he's struggled so far in Britain.

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

Now that the penny has dropped for PRESENT FAIR after a taking success at Uttoxeter last month, there could be far more to come from the son of Presenting despite a 3lb rise. Freddy Robinson has been kept fit for his return to hurdles courtesy of a pair of runs on the Flat at Newcastle, while Very Excellent has strong claims on his penultimate effort at Cartmel when runner-up.

THUNDERCLAP made steady progress in this sphere last season and, with his reappearance under his belt, he's put forward as the answer. Present Fair came out on top under a hands-and-heels ride at Uttoxeter last month and looks sure to go well again.

The Donald McCain-trained PRESENT FAIR appreciated the return to hurdling when winning at Uttoxeter last month and can follow up.

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.
