13:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (8/1 +27%) Astapor	8 8/1(+27%)	(7) Astapor 8/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Bit below form sixth of 16 in handicap (8/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) 22 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. 2lb lower than when beaten over 4l on soft at Thirsk latest; others preferred..
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -167%) Dapper Man	12 12/1(-167%)	(3) Dapper Man 12/1, C&D winner who posted best effort for some time when taking 11-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) 41 days ago. 6 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards. Up 6lb for AW win but can still be given a chance based on some of last year's turf form..
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +56%) Spanish Angel	4 4/1(+56%)	(5) Spanish Angel 4/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 9/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 14 days ago. Others have achieved more. Dual turf winner but his C&D run two weeks ago suggests soft ground is a serious concern..
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -115%) Golden Gal	14 14/1(-115%)	(2) Golden Gal 14/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. 14/1, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D (heavy). Off 6 months. Makes limited appeal. Had wind operation. Won here when fresh last year and no surprise if she goes close, at the least..
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 -106%) Yaahobby	33 33/1(-106%)	(4) Yaahobby 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/1) 51 days ago. Claims on best form. AW winner; not easy to fancy based on what he has achieved on turf (0-5)..
6th	6 6th (6) (20/1 +0%) Basholo	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Basholo 20/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Newcastle (5f) 90 days ago, slowly away. Must improve. 5f winner; returns from a break and record suggests she might be better for this run..
7th	1 7th (1) (3.5/1 +22%) Sir Benedict	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(1) Sir Benedict 3.5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Not seen to best effect at Newcastle latest and figures off a handy mark back on turf here. 1lb lower than his most recent win; returns to turf from a spell on AW; claims..
8th	10 8th (10) (11/1 -22%) Blackcurrent	11 11/1(-22%)	(10) Blackcurrent 11/1, Four wins from 16 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in February. 13/2, respectable third of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 29 days ago. Not out of things. Returns to turf after some competitive efforts on AW but others push stronger claims..
9th	8 9th (8) (4.5/1 +44%) Birdie Bowers	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(8) Birdie Bowers 4.5/1, Acquitted himself well in recent starts, latest when solid third of 12 in handicap over C&D (heavy, 11/1) 14 days ago. Warrants respect. Did his best work late on over C&D (soft) latest; 1lb lower; each-way player..
10th	9 10th (9) (5/1 +0%) Tommytwohoots	5 5/1(+0%)	(9) Tommytwohoots 5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Excellent second of 12 in handicap over C&D (heavy) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Just 1 lb higher now and is one for the shortlist. Up 1lb for C&D second and would be interesting if able to be ridden closer to the pace..

LTO Selection:

13:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 5/1 (9) TOMMYTWOHOOTS and 8/1 (8) BIRDIE BOWERS seem to have the strongest chances. Both have had recent good performances and are only slightly higher in weight. 4.5/1 (1) SIR BENEDICT and 4.5/1 (3) DAPPER MAN Up also have some potential, but their recent form is not as strong as the other two. The rest of the horses either have limited appeal, are returning from a break, or have not achieved much on turf.

The key to this race could be the recent clash over C&D between TOMMYTWOHOOTS (second) and Birdie Bowers (third), with preference for the former, who is now 4lb below his last winning mark. Dapper Man did it well at Southwell last time out and is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Spanish Angel, who was somewhat unlucky when short of room in that aforementioned contest over C&D.

DAPPER MAN returned to winning ways at Southwell last month and is still feasibly treated on old form. He may be able to follow up. Tommytwohoots and Birdie Bowers rate the principal dangers.

The filly GOLDEN GAL returns after wind surgery, goes well here and fresh and can make her return to this mark another winning one.

14:20 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +11%) Changeofmind	2 2/1(+11%)	(1) Changeofmind 2/1, Sioux Nation colt landed 8-runner maiden at Chester (5.1f, good to firm) on sole start at 2 yrs. 10-month absence is minor worry but he looked a useful prospect on debut and can improve. Scored in fast time at Chester ten months ago (debut); respected on first run since.
2	7 2nd (7) (14/1 +36%) Tawalla	14 14/1(+36%)	(7) Tawalla 14/1, Invincible Spirit colt. Green but hinted at ability when sixth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut. Likely to improve. Newmarket raider; should improve on his sole 2yo effort; interesting.
3	5 3rd (5) (1.88/1 +16%) High Ovation	1.88 1.88/1(+16%)	(5) High Ovation 1.88/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Good second at Kempton on second outing and perhaps found race coming too soon when fourth of 7 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 41 days ago, carrying head shade awkwardly. Has to be taken seriously. Newmarket raider; gelded since last run; major player if transferring his AW form to turf.
4	9 4th (9) (33/1 -230%) Whisky Mcgonagall	33 33/1(-230%)	(9) Whisky Mcgonagall 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 8/1, travelled well and caught eye when fourth of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (5f, good to firm). May do better, though has 12-month absence to overcome. Gelded since last start 12 months ago (fourth at Thirsk); bred to do better still.
5th	6 5th (6) (40/1 -21%) Rwenearlytheredad	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Rwenearlytheredad 40/1, Havana Grey gelding. Showed a bit when fifth of 9 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, soft, 22/1) on debut 22 days ago but others have stronger credentials. Showed some promise at Thirsk on debut; open to improvement.
6th	8 6th (8) (5.5/1 -10%) Whalley Road	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(8) Whalley Road 5.5/1, Dandy Man gelding. 9/1, green but showed something to work on when sixth of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, heavy) on debut 15 days ago. Should have more to offer. Half-brother to two winners for his owner; duly showed promise at Pontefract on debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 -150%) Gimcrack Warrior	40 40/1(-150%)	(4) Gimcrack Warrior 40/1, Muhaarar gelding. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 22/1) on debut 21 days ago. More required. Needs to improve plenty on Nottingham debut form.
8th	3 8th (3) (5/1 +0%) Erosion Risk	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Erosion Risk 5/1, Placed 10 starts in a row prior to rare poor effort when only mid-field at Southwell last time. Type to bounce back quickly and he's respected with visor reapplied. Has the form to take a serious hand but is well exposed (0-16).
9th	2 9th (2) (50/1 +24%) Amerrone	50 50/1(+24%)	(2) Amerrone 50/1, Towards rear in pair of minor events. Since been gelded but still makes little appeal. Achieved little in two races last year; gelded since.

LTO Selection:

14:20 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, based on the information given, 2.25/1 (1) CHANGEOFMIND and 2.25/1 (5) HIGH OVATION seem to be the most promising contenders. 2.25/1 (1) CHANGEOFMIND scored in fast time on debut and landed a maiden on the sole start at 2 years old, suggesting he has potential to improve. 2.25/1 (5) HIGH OVATION has shown good form on the all-weather and could be a major player if he can transfer that form to turf.

HIGH OVATION is bred to go on the turf being a son of Harry Angel, and recent efforts over further on the all-weather suggest that dropping back in trip could be just what the doctor ordered. Changeofmind had Erosion Risk (third) behind when scoring on debut at Chester last June, but he has not been in action since and this is a tough ask on his return.

The percentage call is to side with HIGH OVATION, who was very well supported when second at Kempton on his second start and benefits from a longer break between outings this time. Changeofmind perhaps retains the most potential having won a Chester maiden cosily on his sole outing last summer and is feared, whilst Erosion Risk is a largely consistent sort and should be able to bounce back to form.

Changeofmind is a nice prospect but likely improver WHALLEY ROAD looks an interesting alternative.

14:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +28%) Sera Dawn	1 1/1(+28%)	(1) Sera Dawn 1/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/2, much improved when winning 6-runner minor event at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 14 days ago, just holding on. Leading player on handicap debut. On the up; won Nottingham latest; big player going handicapping off handy-looking mark.
2	6 2nd (6) (5.5/1 +15%) Fortunate Star	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(6) Fortunate Star 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, shaped better than result when fifth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft) 22 days ago, not clear run. Remains capable of better, though perhaps would be best suited by a return to 6f. Best effort when Thirsk 5th 22 days ago; he's not discounted off a 2lb lower mark here.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 +20%) Crime Fiction	16 16/1(+20%)	(4) Crime Fiction 16/1, Won minor event at Redcar in mid-2022 but ended campaign poorly and failed to beat rival on debut for this yard 22 days ago, so has lots to prove. Fair 6f juvenile winner for Tim Easterby but last on yard debut at Southwell 22 days ago.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 -64%) Doctor Mozart	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(3) Doctor Mozart 4.5/1, Followed up from Southwell handicap win to land 5-runner seller at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 16 days ago. Visor back on. Showed form on turf last season and has good chance of landing the hat-trick, On hat-trick after AW wins (seller latest); weighted to go well back in a handicap.
5th	7 5th (7) (22/1 -10%) Howyadoin	22 22/1(-10%)	(7) Howyadoin 22/1, Best effort at 2 yrs when runner-up in Carlisle nursery in August and faced stiff task on final outing last year. Others make more appeal on return from 7-month absence. Last of ten in 6f Nottingham nursery on his final start of 2022; others are preferred.
6th	2 6th (2) (5.5/1 +21%) Premier Option	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(2) Premier Option 5.5/1, Step back in right direction when third of 6 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 14 days ago but more will likely be required if he's to get off the mark here. Back on track when third in C&D handicap a fortnight ago; shortlisted.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 -50%) Turbo Tiger	18 18/1(-50%)	(5) Turbo Tiger 18/1, Respectable third at Newcastle on penultimate outing but ran below form when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 51 days ago. Place claims if able to bounce back. Remains winless and came in only sixth at Wolverhampton latest; needs to get back on track.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.38/1 (1) SERA DAWN seems like the most promising horse. She won her latest race and is described as a

This can go the way of SERA DAWN, who proved her liking for soft ground when scoring narrowly at Nottingham recently and a mark of 70 could prove lenient on her handicap debut. Premier Option ran a fine race on his return over C&D and he is likely to be a key player, as well as the hat-trick seeking Doctor Mozart.

DOCTOR MOZART and Sera Dawn appeal as clear stand-outs in this company, with narrow preference for the former, who shouldn't be overfaced by this mark returning to handicap company for his hat-trick bid. Sera Dawn progressed when winning at Nottingham last time and looks to have been allocated a fair opening mark. Premier Option appeals as best of the rest.

Jack Channon's SERA DAWN looks the way to go given she went smoothly when scoring at Nottingham and has what looks a viable mark.

15:25 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (33/1 -32%) Robert Johnson	33 33/1(-32%)	(11) Robert Johnson 33/1, C&D winner last May but no impact in either start this year, well behind when pulled up over hurdles at Ayr latest. C&D scorer for Rebecca Menzies last May but has offered little both runs for current yard.
2	13 2nd (13) (5/1 +44%) Turbulent Power	5 5/1(+44%)	(13) Turbulent Power 5/1, Posted best effort on level when second of 11 in handicap over C&D (heavy) 14 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and holds sound claims. Still to win but very good C&D 2nd fortnight ago; one to consider off a 2lb higher mark.
3	3 3rd (3) (14/1 -65%) Turner Girl	14 14/1(-65%)	(3) Turner Girl 14/1, Course winner. Below form third of 11 in handicap (13/2) over C&D (heavy) on return 14 days ago. Entitled to come on from that, though. Course scorer; not disgraced when C&D 3rd latest; can take a step forward now.
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 +25%) Clear White Light	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(4) Clear White Light 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 125/1, last of 7 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f) 20 days ago. Improvement required on handicap debut. Fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner but he has cut little ice in three runs in this sphere.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 -83%) We'll Go Again	22 22/1(-83%)	(6) We'll Go Again 22/1, Second of 6 in handicap chase (9/4) at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft) on debut over fences 17 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Well handicapped on best form. Good chasing 2nd at Market Rasen latest; returns to Flat on handy-looking mark; player.
6th	12 6th (12) (5.5/1 +21%) Breguet Boy	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(12) Breguet Boy 5.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Respectable third of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 26 days ago. Each-way claims. In excellent form since joining his current yard, 3rd at Southwell latest; in the picture.
7th	9 7th (9) (3.33/1 +17%) Forgetmenotblue	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(9) Forgetmenotblue 3.33/1, Consistent sort who made the frame again when creditable third of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, soft) 22 days ago. Likely to be in the mix once more. Remains without a win but she's proving a reliable type; she ought to be in the shake-up.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 -40%) Peripeteia	28 28/1(-40%)	(2) Peripeteia 28/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 20/1) 25 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Yet to hit top form in 2 runs this term, fading Doncaster seventh latest; no forlorn hope.
9th	10 9th (10) (10/1 +38%) Sociologist	10 10/1(+38%)	(10) Sociologist 10/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 16/5, bit below form fourth of 13 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not discounted. On a lengthy losing run but in decent nick, fourth at Bath 5 days ago; shortlisted.
10th	14 10th (14) (25/1 +0%) Seven For A Pound	25 25/1(+0%)	(14) Seven For A Pound 25/1, Unreliable sort. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, soft, 66/1) 22 days ago. Others more persuasive. Unreliable sort but good Thirsk 5th 22 days ago; yard is going well so not dismissed.
11th	7 11th (7) (10/1 +38%) Bonne Vitesse	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Bonne Vitesse 10/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Wetherby (16f, soft) 36 days ago. Down in trip. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Others preferred. Fair winner on the level; creditable hurdles 4th at Wetherby last month; possibilities.
12th	5 12th (5) (50/1 -52%) Alhabor	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Alhabor 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, first run since leaving Alan King when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 23 days ago. Work to do. Offered little in four runs for Alan King and again for his new yard with Newcastle 8th.
13th	8 13th (8) (22/1 -83%) Poster Child	22 22/1(-83%)	(8) Poster Child 22/1, Below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, soft, 9/1) 22 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Encouraging start for current yard, 7th at Thirsk 22 days ago; can build on that effort.
14th	1 14th (1) (12/1 -33%) Pallas Lord	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Pallas Lord 12/1, Three wins from 8 runs last year. Posted another creditable effort when second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 26 days ago, running on. Tries longer trip on return to turf and must enter calculations. Arrives in good nick, 2nd at Newcastle latest; he can't be dismissed on first go over 1m4f.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

7/1 (12) BREGUET BOY and 9/1 (13) TURBULENT POWER seem to be the strongest contenders based on their recent form and past performances. 8.5/1 (3) TURNER GIRL and 9/1 (1) PALLAS LORD also have potential to do well. 16/1 (10) SOCIOLOGIST and 16/1 (7) BONNE VITESSE are worth considering as well. 4/1 (9) FORGETMENOTBLUE, 6/1 (4) CLEAR WHITE LIGHT, 12/1 (8) POSTER CHILD, 20/1 (2) PERIPETEIA, 25/1 (14) SEVEN FOR A POUND, 25/1 (11) ROBERT JOHNSON, and 33/1 (5) ALHABOR are less likely to perform well.

FORGETMENOTBLUE (third) had Turbulent Power (sixth) well held over this trip on her latest outing at Thirsk on soft ground and, even though she is 3lb worse off at the weights this time, she ought to go very close to getting her head in front. The main danger is Breguet Boy, who showed up well at Southwell on his latest outing when beaten four lengths into third.

Preference is for TURBULENT POWER, who pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago and remains fairly treated. Forgetmenotblue and Pallas Lord head the list of dangers.

Sam England's WE'LL GO AGAIN posted a good chasing second last time and can make a winning return to the Flat.

1	2 1st (2) (11/1 +8%) Roundhay Park	11 11/1(+8%)	(2) Roundhay Park 11/1, After 5 months off, probably needed the run when ninth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 14 days ago. Only 1 lb above his last winning mark if stepping up on his reappearance effort. Looked rusty after five months off when ninth here a fortnight ago; can bounce back now.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +36%) Motawaazy	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(4) Motawaazy 4.5/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 6 runs last year. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, heavy, 22/1) 14 days ago. Could fare better returned to 6f. Took this contest 12 months ago; fading sixth over 7f here latest so has to be considered.
3	6 3rd (6) (1.25/1 +34%) Special Mayson	1.25 1.25/1(+34%)	(6) Special Mayson 1.25/1, Course winner. After 6 months off, ran up to best when third of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, heavy, 4/1) 14 days ago. Leading contender. Course winner who resumed with good 3rd here fortnight ago; solid claims off same mark.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 -100%) Westmorian	5 5/1(-100%)	(1) Westmorian 5/1, Won final 2 starts last year, successful at Newcastle in December. 4/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. Can give another good account. Back on track when third at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; considered off the same mark.

Needs to build on that effort back down in trip. Creditable third in 7f Newcastle handicap in February; shortlisted after another break.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 -122%) Newyorkstateofmind	10 10/1(-122%)	(3) Newyorkstateofmind 10/1, Shaped well on first run since leaving William Muir & Chris Grassick when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 13/2) 16 days ago, faring best of those held up. Shortlisted. Promising start for new yard when Wolverhampton 4th; player for in-form stable.
7th	5 7th (5) (50/1 -100%) Fai Fai	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Fai Fai 50/1, Down the field both starts this year for current yard, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 80/1) 8 days ago. Hooded for 1st time, but has enough to prove at present. Yet to hit top form in 2 runs for current yard, too free latest; hood on; not discounted..

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary as each horse has some positive and negative aspects. However, based on the information provided, the following horses can be considered as potential contenders: - 1.88/1 (6) SPECIAL MAYSON: a course winner who resumed with a good 3rd place finish here fortnight ago. - 2.5/1 (1) WESTMORIAN: back on track with a solid 3rd place finish at Wolverhampton 16 days ago, and won final 2 starts last year. - 4.5/1 (3) NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND: showed promise in the first run for a new yard when finishing 4th at Wolverhampton. - 10/1 (7) GRACELANDS GIRL: had a creditable 3rd place finish in a 7f handicap at Newcastle in February and could do well if she builds on that effort. 7/1 (4) MOTAWAAZY and 25/1 (5) FAI FAI seem to have some form issues in their recent runs and may have to improve significantly to be in contention. 12/1 (2) ROUNDHAY PARK looked rusty

Westmorian (third) had Newyorkstateofmind (fourth) a neck behind last time at Wolverhampton, and that form could be reversed with the latter getting a 1lb pull at the weights. However, the vote goes to SPECIAL MAYSON, who should relish conditions once more and was only beaten a length and a half at this track over 7f earlier this month. The son of Mayson won over this trip off a 4lb lower mark in October at Leicester and holds very strong claims.

After 6 months off, SPECIAL MAYSON did well under the circumstances when third here a fortnight ago, racing more towards the centre of the track than the pair that finished ahead of him, so he is taken to build on that effort and gain a second course success. Westmorian returned to form last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Newyorkstateofmind.

Ruth Carr's new recruit NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND is taken to build on the promise of his reappearance Wolverhampton fourth and emerge on top

2	9 2nd (9) (3.33/1 -11%) Langholm	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(9) Langholm 3.33/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (heavy) 14 days ago, running on. Solid claims. Best three RPRs have been over C&D; beaten by in-form opponent latest; big player..
3	10 3rd (10) (8.5/1 +23%) Chookie Dunedin	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(10) Chookie Dunedin 8.5/1, Three wins from 17 runs last year. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 44 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Handy mark for this return to turf; acts here; not ruled out..
4	1 4th (1) (5.5/1 -38%) Milbanke	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(1) Milbanke 5.5/1, 8/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f), kept up to work. Off 151 days. 4 lb rise tolerable and claims if in a similar mood here. Career best 7f AW win latest; up 4lb; big player if handling soft ground..
5th	5 5th (5) (3.33/1 +45%) Barney's Bay	3.33 3.33/1(+45%)	(5) Barney's Bay 3.33/1, Twenty-five runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap (9/2) at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 15 days ago. While his strike rate is modest, he is capable of taking a hand in the finish off this mark. Drops 1lb and despite Pontefract defeat his record suggests he should not be written off..
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +25%) Like A Lion	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Like A Lion 12/1, Latest win at Newcastle in December. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 22/1) 41 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces back on. Barney's Bay appears to be the stable No 1. Inconsistent since last win but best form gives him a chance if handling conditions..
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 +0%) Muntadab	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Muntadab 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in October. Last of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 80/1) 33 days ago. Others make more appeal. Well below par on his last three starts; has bounced back before; bit to prove at present..
8th	4 8th (4) (22/1 -57%) Shahnaz	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Shahnaz 22/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. 12/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 14 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Something to find on form. Yard also saddles Miss Britain. Back on last winning mark; well beaten on heavy on last two starts; bit to prove on soft..
9th	11 9th (11) (28/1 -40%) Brunello Breeze	28 28/1(-40%)	(11) Brunello Breeze 28/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft, 7/1) 22 days ago. Well held on that occasion but he should come on for the run and has slipped to an attractive mark. Little chance based on his last three starts; big revival needed..
10th	6 10th (6) (16/1 -78%) Cubanista	16 16/1(-78%)	(6) Cubanista 16/1, 9/2, below form third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) 12 days ago. Will need to leave that effort well behind if he's to emerge on top here. 7f soft-ground winner; plenty to prove after hefty defeats on his last two starts..

16:30 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

3/1 (9) LANGHOLM and 4/1 (1) MILBANKE seem to be the strongest horses based on their recent form and previous success at the C&D. 6/1 (5) BARNEY'S BAY and 8/1 (7) MISS BRITAIN also have solid claims, but concerns about the ground could affect their performances. 9/1 (6) CUBANISTA and 11/1 (10) CHOOKIE DUNEDIN are somewhat inconsistent and need to improve to win, while 14/1 (4) SHAHNAZ, 16/1 (8) LIKE A LION, and 16/1 (2) MUNTADAB appear to be out of form at the moment. 20/1 (11) BRUNELLO BREEZE and 25/1 (3) SPELLS AT DAWN are not expected to contend.

LANGHOLM was only beaten a length into second over C&D on his seasonal return two weeks ago and, with the benefit of that run, the seven-year-old could go one better off the same mark. Milbanke was in good form on the all-weather when last seen in November and merits respect, while Barney's Bay and Miss Britain are others to note.

LANGHOLM was successful second time out last season and may well repeat the dose on the back of a highly encouraging reappearance second over this C&D a fortnight ago. He boasts a good record here and is versatile ground-wise. Milbanke merits respect on the back of his Wolverhampton victory but bigger threats may be posed by Barney's Bay and Brunello Breeze, both of whom figure on tempting marks.

The vote goes to LANGHOLM (nap), who loves this track and ran well in defeat again last time, when it took a career best to beat him.

4	4 4th (4) (8/1 -14%) Centerstage	8 8/1(-14%)	(4) Centerstage 8/1, After 8 months off (gelded), fared little better than previously when seventh of 10 on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, heavy) 11 days ago. Improvement needed trying 7f for the first time. May be better for reappearance and slight drop in trip; bit to prove, not least on soft..
5th	5 5th (5) (20/1 +0%) Must Catch Up	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) Must Catch Up 20/1, First run since leaving Marcus Tregoning when fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 33/1) 43 days ago. Needs to find more as she makes her first start on turf. Never seriously involved on debut for this trainer at Newcastle (7f) latest; drops 3lb..

7th	3 7th (3) (4/1 +0%) Capofan	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Capofan 4/1, Not seen to best effect when eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 8/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. Can open her account with cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to better her three efforts this year; cheekpieces may help; not ruled out..

LTO Selection:

17:00 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as all of them have either had inconsistent or poor form in their recent races, and there is no clear standout. It would be best to wait for the betting markets to open and see if any of the horses have significant support before making a prediction.

MR JETMAN has shown some promise in novice/maiden company and Grant Tuer's gelding merits plenty of respect on his handicap debut now upped in trip. Smile And Pay was third in a similar event over 6f at Redcar two starts ago and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Capofan edges out Centerstage to be the pick of the remainder.

CAPOFAN wasn't able to get involved after a slow start on her latest outing, but she'd finished in the frame on her first 2 starts of the year and, with cheekpieces now applied, she could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Smile And Pay had also run well in his first 2 races this season and is feared most, ahead of Mr Jetman.

This trip could prompt improvement from MR JETMAN on his handicap debut and he wouldn't need much of that.

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.
