14:15 Catterick Claiming Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (13/2 +0%) Believe Jack	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(6) Believe Jack 13/2, Back to winning ways in first-time cheekpieces when leading late on in Market Rasen selling handicap (16.5f) on Boxing Day. However, not gone with same zest either outing since, struggling from 4 out at Hereford (19.6f) 10 days ago. Blinkers/tongue tie go on back down in class. Boxing Day win suggests he may benefit from the change of headgear.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/4 +36%) Foveros	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(4) Foveros 7/4, Mixed record for Willie Mullins but seems to be finding his feet for new yard, second of 5 dropped to claiming company at Leicester (15.5f) 5 weeks ago. A repeat here gives him a good shout. Best effort for new yard when runner-up in Leicester claimer latest; commands respect.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/8 +15%) Baron De Midleton	1.375 11/8(+15%)	(3) Baron De Midleton 11/8, Useful sort at best who capitalised on handicapper's mercy at Market Rasen (20.6f) in January. Dispelled lesser effort at Leicester when third at Newcastle (16.8f) 11 days ago and big shout on these terms back down in grade. Beaten favourite in similar event two starts ago but has good chance if running to form.
4	5 4th (5) (17/2 +47%) Coup De Gold	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(5) Coup De Gold 17/2, Snapped losing run at Sedgefield (16.8f) in January and ran creditably turned out quickly when fourth back at that venue (19.8f) last month. However, no easy task on these terms dropped into claiming company down in trip. Has a lot to find on ratings but earns points for arriving in good form.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 +45%) Noble Annys	18 18/1(+45%)	(7) Noble Annys 18/1, Showed ability in bumpers in Ireland. Barely modest form over hurdles for current yard, failing to build on promise of her penultimate run at Musselburgh when well held in big-field handicap at Doncaster (16.6f) 38 days ago. Others preferred eased in class. Inconsistent maiden who faces a difficult task on these terms.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 -133%) Moarins Moarnin	28 28/1(-133%)	(2) Moarins Moarnin 28/1, Showed ability amidst inexperience when third in a Uttoxeter maiden (15.8f) in October. Shaped as if amiss when pulled up at Musselburgh (15.5f) a month later though and connections quickly opt for a drop in class. Market may prove a useful guide. Stopped quickly when last seen but had shown promise on debut.

14:15 Catterick Claiming Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

BARON DE MIDLETON was far from disgraced when third in a class 3 handicap hurdle at Newcastle recently and the veteran rates as the one to beat on his return to claiming company. Although Foveros has 9lb to find on the ratings, Henry Oliver's gelding is feared most having finished ahead of the selection when runner-up at Leicester in January. Allbetsoff could also have a say if coping with softer ground conditions.

BARON DE MIDLETON quickly returned to form when third in handicap company at Newcastle 11 days ago and, holding excellent claims on these terms down in grade, Brian Ellison's veteran looks the one to side with. That said Foveros is finding his feet for his new yard and is a player, with Allbetsoff another who can feature.

Baron De Midleton has the best chance on current ratings but at Leicester in January he finished behind FOVEROS, who is preferred.

14:45 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -60%) My Gift To You	4 4/1(-60%)	(1) My Gift To You 4/1, Immediate improvement upon joining James Owen, scoring twice over both hurdles and fences this season. Bumped into an improved rival in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f, soft) last month and he remains very much one to be interested in at this sort of level despite a 4 lb rise. Has form figures of 11234112 (hurdles/fences) for current yard; in the mix.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 -45%) Bebside Banter	4 4/1(-45%)	(4) Bebside Banter 4/1, Dual winner at Sedgefield this term and acquitted himself well when second of 9 in handicap chase at same course (19.3f, heavy, 11/8) 28 days ago. Likely contender. Sound record over fences at Sedgefield; switch to Catterick is an unknown.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 +36%) Titanium Bullet	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(2) Titanium Bullet 9/2, Reached the frame a few times in handicap hurdles for Warren Greatrex last term and ran to a similar level in both starts over fences for new yard this season, latest when creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 11 to Kings Justice over C&D 78 days ago. Respected. Still a maiden but ties in with Kings Justice on C&D running the last twice.
5	5 \|B\| (5) (7/2 -17%) Kings Justice	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(5) Kings Justice 7/2, Off the mark here in December and backed that up with good second of 6 in handicap chase over C&D (soft) 33 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Should go well again. Has form figures of 212, all over C&D, since wearing cheekpieces; solid claims.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (10/3 +83%) Master Breffni	3.333333 10/3(+83%)	(3) Master Breffni 10/3, More miss than hit over hurdles in Ireland and yet to really threaten in a trio of starts for new yard this season. Ex-Irish maiden; best effort for current stable came over C&D two runs ago.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (9/1 +44%) Halfway House Lad	9 9/1(+44%)	(7) Halfway House Lad 9/1, Still looking for first success but offered more than previously when third of 9 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft) 17 days ago. 3 lb out of the weights but remains low mileage in this sphere. Positive signs the last twice; first win is not out of the question.

14:45 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Jumping errors in the closing stages at Southwell contributed to MY GIFT TO YOU's unsuccessful hat-trick bid. Regardless, James Owen's charge still ran with plenty of credit to fill the runner-up berth and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from regaining the winning thread. Kings Justice has posted a string of good efforts over C&D in recent months and he is likely to be in the mix once more. Master Breffni should appreciate the return to this trip.

MY GIFT TO YOU continues to thrive for James Owen, finding further improvement when runner-up at Southwell last month. He can record his fifth success of the season. Bebside Banter and Kings Justice can also make their presence felt.

Kings Justice commands respect but, on the revised terms, TITANIUM BULLET has a fighting chance in his rematch with that rival.

15:15 Catterick Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -50%) Sweet Fantasy	3 3/1(-50%)	(1) Sweet Fantasy 3/1, Useful 1m4f winner on Flat for Ralph Beckett who went in at the first time of asking over hurdles for her new yard in 2m Plumpton novice in January. Can do better still, so she's very much one to consider. Narrow win on hurdle debut; useful on Flat and could have lots more to offer in this code.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/15 +42%) Lily Du Berlais	0.533333 8/15(+42%)	(3) Lily Du Berlais 8/15, Fairly useful bumper performer but yet to match that in this sphere, last seen being pulled up in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse (20.4f, good to soft) 11 months ago. Drops appreciably in grade, so she should go very close provided she's ready to roll. Absent since pulled up last April but strong claims judged on her previous form.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 -33%) Snowrocco	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Snowrocco 16/1, Placed on her completed start in Irish points and offered something to work on when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (16f, heavy) last month. She'll be suited by further than 2m in time, but is entitled to take a step forward all the same. Promising fourth at Wetherby on last month's rules debut and could have a part to play.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 +50%) Rialannah	7 7/1(+50%)	(5) Rialannah 7/1, Stiff task when ninth in listed bumper at Doncaster on debut in December and showed promise when third of 11 in 20.5f Huntingdon novice hurdle next time. Arguably went for home too soon when well beaten at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) last month, so can get back on track returned to 2m. Disappointing at Carlisle but good third at Huntingdon previously and not written off.
5th	2 5th (2) (200/1 -506%) Chantilly Dragon	200 200/1(-506%)	(2) Chantilly Dragon 200/1, Offered something to work on when third in bumper at Sedgefield in November but failed to repeat that effort back there (16.8f, soft) on Boxing Day. Others make more appeal now she goes hurdling. Displayed some ability in the first of her two bumpers but others make greater appeal.
6th	4 6th (4) (400/1 -167%) Naughty Nancie	400 400/1(-167%)	(4) Naughty Nancie 400/1, Tailed off in a bumper/maiden hurdle 5 years apart. Tailed off at big odds on both starts.

15:15 Catterick Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

LILY DU BERLAIS posted some smart form in Graded company in Ireland last season and she should take all the beating if returning at anywhere near that level, with the main threat likely to emerge in the shape of Sweet Fantasy. The James Owen-trained five-year-old made a winning debut over hurdles at Plumpton and warrants respect given her ability on the Flat. Snowrocco looks most appealing of the remainder.

This can go the way of LILY DU BERLAIS, who is yet to match her fairly useful bumper form in this sphere but has been campaigned solely in graded events and this is a much easier assignment returning from 11 months off. Second choice is Sweet Fantasy, who carries a penalty having gone in at the first time of asking over hurdles for her new yard at Plumpton in January, with Snowrocco seemingly best of the remainder.

Preference is for LILY DU BERLAIS, who returns from an absence but has shown promise in Graded novice hurdles in Ireland.

15:45 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/4 +17%) Haston Clermont	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(4) Haston Clermont 5/4, Runner-up sole completed start in points and shaped well on Rules debut in a bumper. Failed to build on that in 3 hurdle starts but has proved a different proposition switched to fences, just denied the hat-trick at Chepstow. Further progress is possible, so another big run is on the cards. Nose second at Chepstow last time when bidding for hat-trick, behind well-treated winner.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 -45%) Ribeye	16 16/1(-45%)	(6) Ribeye 16/1, Made a cracking start over fences, value for extra when winning Hexham handicap in May. However, has gone the wrong way in 3 subsequent starts so has plenty to prove. Two wins in the first half of last year but struggled on his two outings this winter.
3	1 3rd (1) (20/1 -208%) Aquila Sky	20 20/1(-208%)	(1) Aquila Sky 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best but struggled in only 2 starts in 2021/22 (chase debut on first occasion). After 26 months off, shaped as if needing the outing when down the field at Doncaster but fared a little better when sixth there next time. Has a bit to prove back over fences here. Hint of spark over hurdles latest but not the force of old and others have less to prove.
4	3 4th (3) (11/8 +39%) Tom Cody	1.375 11/8(+39%)	(3) Tom Cody 11/8, Off the mark at Newcastle in December. Improved when following up at Wetherby (19.4f, heavy) on Boxing Day and wasn't disgraced in a stronger contest at the latter course. Resumed progress when just denied over C&D last month and needs considering off 2 lb higher. Two wins in December and neck second to improving rival over C&D latest; likeable claims.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 +8%) Skyhill	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Skyhill 11/1, Veteran who ended last season on a winning note and stepped up on reappearance third when getting the better of a subsequent scorer over C&D on New Year's Day. Wasted no time getting back on track when fourth at Ayr but others look better treated. Fair fourth at Ayr last time and could build on that now back at a venue where he's 2-2.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/1 -54%) Grove Road	10 10/1(-54%)	(2) Grove Road 10/1, Looked a promising stayer in the making when winning a brace of novice hurdles in late 2022. However, hasn't kicked on since and 2 of his 3 starts over fences have resulted in heavy defeats. Drop back in trip should suit. Given a chance by the handicapper and could go well now back down in trip.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (100/1 -300%) Get 'em In	100 100/1(-300%)	(7) Get 'em In 100/1, Showed little over hurdles and similar story over fences to date. 13 lb out of the handicap. 11-race maiden who is 13lb out of the handicap today and others are preferred.

15:45 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

HASTON CLERMONT continues in cracking form after being touched off when on a hat-trick at Chepstow in January, and has been put up a further 4lb for that display. Noel Williams' seven-year-old makes only his fifth chase start and could still have improvement in him. Tom Cody, who was only denied by a neck over track and trip last month, has to be considered, while Skyhill is also worth a second look.

HASTON CLERMONT split a couple of subsequent winners when failing by the narrowest of margins to bring up the hat-trick at Chepstow so is fancied to resume winning ways. Tom Cody is also on the upgrade and is a clear next best.

The progressive 7yo HASTON CLERMONT (nap) was narrowly denied a hat-trick at Chepstow last time and can return to winning ways here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +0%) Champ Royal	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(3) Champ Royal 10/3, Rallied well to enhance a good strike rate for this yard when landing a C&D handicap a month ago, rallying. On the up and merits plenty of respect. Made it 3-5 for this yard with C&D win last time out and he's respected.
2	4 2nd (4) (8/15 +65%) Burrows Hall	0.533333 8/15(+65%)	(4) Burrows Hall 8/15, Holding form well prior to scoring in good style over C&D last time, looking well suited by the step up in distance. Worth a chance to follow up. Easy win over C&D last week on first crack at a staying trip; 7lb penalty may not stop him.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -43%) Barricane	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Barricane 5/1, Two from his last three and produced a career-best effort to score at Huntingdon last time, despite racing lazily. Can make his presence felt again if the emphasis is on stamina. Has won under Lewis Saunders on last 2 h'cap h'dle starts; could play another leading role.

16:15 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

All four contenders are last-time-out winners but preference is for ONWARD ROUTE, who went in by a length and a half over C&D in November. The Rebecca Menzies-trained top-weight may have been let off lightly with a 2lb rise and he could be the one to beat again. Champ Royal, who is seeking a hat-trick after supplementing a Musselburgh victory with a triumph over track and trip, has to be respected. Barricane and penalised C&D scorer Burrows Hall must not be dismissed lightly.

This looks competitive for a small field, the quartet all last-time-out winners, but preference is for BURROWS HALL, who improved for a step up in trip when scoring readily over C&D recently. Barricane and Champ Royal are both obvious dangers.

Top of the list is BURROWS HALL, who did it easily last week on his first crack at a staying trip and can defy a 7lb penalty.

16:45 Catterick Hunter Chase (Class 5) 25f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3/1 -9%) Gaboriot	3 3/1(-9%)	(2) Gaboriot 3/1, Won a pair of 3m handicaps in the autumn. Good third at Ludlow (3m again) just before Christmas. Should be up to making his presence felt back in a hunter. In good form in handicap chases towards end of last year and he's on the shortlist.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +47%) Windsor Avenue	4 4/1(+47%)	(6) Windsor Avenue 4/1, Fairly useful chaser on his day and, while he's yet to fully fire in hunters for this yard, he had an excuse (raced on the inner) at Haydock last time, so not one to rule out. Strong form last season but well below that level in two hunter chases last month.
3	7 3rd (7) (17/2 +74%) Drop Him In	8.5 17/2(+74%)	(7) Drop Him In 17/2, Ended his time for Olly Murphy out of sorts and, while he's been placed on his last 3 starts in points, he has something to find back under Rules. Others have shown considerably more but he arrives in fair form; not ruled out each-way.
4	4 4th (4) (2/1 +50%) Percussion	2 2/1(+50%)	(4) Percussion 2/1, Three-time chase winner who goes well over the Aintree National fences, placed in the Grand Sefton and Becher Chases this season. Seemed amiss on hunter debut at Leicester 8 days ago but could bounce back quickly. Pulled up in hunter chase last week but leading claims if rediscovering this season's best.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -200%) Jerrysback	12 12/1(-200%)	(3) Jerrysback 12/1, Useful chaser who landed a couple of veterans' events in 2022 and, while he has a long absence to overcome, he'd be one to note if the market spoke in his favour. Absent since September 2022 but strong form that summer; market check advised on return.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +14%) Ballydonagh Boy	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Ballydonagh Boy 12/1, Multiple point winner (ran with credit last time) but his Rules form isn't good enough to make him a serious player in this. Needs others to underperform but that's possible; not without hope each-way.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (25/1 -355%) Romain De Senam	25 25/1(-355%)	(5) Romain De Senam 25/1, Smart chaser at best whose form dropped away for David Pipe when last seen in 2022. Hard to know how much ability he retains starting out in hunters for a new yard. Very useful handicap chaser in his prime but this 12yo returns from long absence today.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (100/1 -52%) Jobsonfire	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Jobsonfire 100/1, Has lost his form both under Rules and between the flags and is hard to fancy again. Lightly raced in recent seasons and soundly beaten in a hunter chase at Ludlow last month.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (12/1 +14%) Torygraph	12 12/1(+14%)	(12) Torygraph 12/1, Lost his way for Gordon Elliott and it's a good while since he's been seen under Rules, so hard to make a strong case for despite proving he retains ability in points. Often placed in points in last two seasons but suspicion he'll be vulnerable today.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (66/1 -100%) Dressedforsuccess	66 66/1(-100%)	(1) Dressedforsuccess 66/1, Disappointing in hunters at Cartmel (back with James Moffatt on latest outing) last spring and returns from 9 months off with plenty to prove. Struggled in two hunter chases last spring; this 11yo has lots to prove on first run since.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (80/1 -21%) High Up In The Air	80 80/1(-21%)	(9) High Up In The Air 80/1, Won 5 on the bounce over fences in 2020/21 but hasn't shown much since. First run for yard after leaving Philip Kirby. Posted handicap chase five-timer in 2020-21 but has shown very little since.

16:45 Catterick Hunter Chase (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

JERRYSBACK hasn't been seen since finishing stone last in a class 2 handicap at Perth in September 2022, but he returns to action at a considerably lower level. Successful in the Listed Summer Cup at Uttoxeter on his penultimate appearance, Ben Haslam's 12-year-old should prove hard to beat if anywhere near his peak. Gaboriot finished a close-up third off a mark of 122 when on a three-timer at Ludlow, which puts him bang in contention. Drop Him In has filled the runner-up spot on each of his last three point-to-point starts and, along with Percussion and Windsor Avenue, is another to note.

GABORIOT perhaps doesn't have quite as much class as some of his rivals but he's in form and has much less to prove than most, so he's preferred to Jerrysback, who has a long absence to overcome. Percussion is also likely to play a hand if he can put a tame display at Leicester behind him.

Most of the main players have something to prove and that leaves the door open for GABORIOT, who has been in good form this season.

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.
