(4) J Street 9/2, Made an encouraging start to her career when fourth of 12 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good, 18/1) 17 days ago, no extra only late on. Open to improvement with that first experience behind her. Shaped well when fourth on her debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft) this month.

12/1(+0%)
(3) Isla Bella 12/1, Shaped as if one for the longer term on her first outing when sixth of 8 in maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good, 9/1) 33 days ago. Tongue strap now applied. She made a low-key start at Brighton (5f, good) last month and improvement is required..

1st (1) (7/4 +73%) Brazilian Belle
1.75
7/4(+73%)
(1) Brazilian Belle 7/4, Shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 13 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, soft, 10/1) on debut 19 days ago, tiring final 1f. Entitled to progress from that first outing. Encouraging fourth on debut at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) this month and should run well..

2nd (5) (25/1 -25%) Stat Goddess
25
25/1(-25%)
(5) Stat Goddess 25/1, Has run to only a poor level in 2 starts so far, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good, 14/1) 17 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Modest form on Beverley debut (5f, soft); not so good there (good to soft) 11 days later..

3rd (2) (11/8 +15%) Harswell Dandy
1.375
11/8(+15%)
(2) Harswell Dandy 11/8, Ran to a similar level as on debut when second of 6 in maiden at Ayr (5f, good, 11/4) 24 days ago, worn down only in the final 100 yds. Could be ready to go one better. Runner-up in her first two starts, she looks sure to go close..

4th (6) (10/3 +0%) Sybaris Jewel
3.333333
10/3(+0%)
(6) Sybaris Jewel 10/3, Promising third at Beverley on debut, before 10¼ lengths thirteenth of 15 to Betty Clover in listed race at York (5f, good, 100/1) 6 days ago. Could get back on track returned to maiden company. Started slowly at York last week; back in grade, she looks worth another chance..
14:10 Catterick Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
After going close when unconsidered in the betting on her Pontefract debut, HARSWELL DANDY proved it was no fluke when occupying the runner-up berth again at Ayr. The winner of that race then acquitted himself well at the Dante meeting, and the daughter of Dandy Man can make it third-time lucky. Brazilian Belle offered encouragement in fourth at Thirsk, as J Street did when filling the same position at Beverley. Sybaris Jewel was a place ahead of her there, but struggled in the Marygate at York last week.
HARSWELL DANDY has run to a fair level when finding only one too good on both of her starts so far, faring the better of the pair who helped force the pace at Ayr on her latest outing, so she is taken to open her account this time around. Sybaris Jewel is worth another chance to build on her debut promise and is feared most, ahead of J Street.
Preference is for SYBARIS JEWEL who was in front of two of today's rivals on debut. This is much easier than last week's Listed race.
14:10 Catterick Maiden (Class 5) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(7) Golden Rainbow 5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good, 4/1) 10 days ago, racing deep on the track from his high draw. Sound each-way claims. Two AW wins this year; 0-13 on turf but good fourth of 13 over C&D recently.

1
(1) (7/1 -27%) Resilience
7
7/1(-27%)
(1) Resilience 7/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, ran well from a workable mark when second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) back in January. He's a much more solid proposition on all-weather but merits consideration in this company. Two-time turf winner (unproven on slow ground); running well in defeat on AW in the winter.
4

(4) (12/1 +0%) Modular Magic
12
12/1(+0%)
(4) Modular Magic 12/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Stepped up on reappearance when fifth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 18/1) 3 weeks ago (reported to have lost a hind shoe). Others make more appeal. Step back in right direction last time and another 3lb lower today; not discounted.

5
1st (5) (5/1 +9%) Birkenhead
5
5/1(+9%)
(5) Birkenhead 5/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good) 10 days ago. Visor back on. Good third over C&D (good) ten days ago; his wins have come on good/good to firm going.
2
8
2nd (8) (5/2 +50%) One For The Ladies
2.5
5/2(+50%)
(8) One For The Ladies 5/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Got back on track when fourth of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 17/2) 33 days ago. In good form the last twice and she's versatile ground-wise; could play a leading role.
3
6
3rd (6) (14/1 +36%) Rain Cap
14
14/1(+36%)
(6) Rain Cap 14/1, 4-time course winner. 40/1, probably needed the run after 7 months off when last of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 10 days ago. Down in trip. Likes it here and his surplus stamina will be no bad thing if conditions are testing.
4
9
4th (9) (7/1 +56%) Canaria Prince
7
7/1(+56%)
(9) Canaria Prince 7/1, Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when eighth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 6 months ago, weakening when hampered and hanging left final 1f. Will need to hit the ground running. Has a positive reappearance record; could be in the mix on this return to action.
5th
3
5th (3) (12/1 +52%) Ballysax Lil' Mick
12
12/1(+52%)
(3) Ballysax Lil' Mick 12/1, Ran respectably after just 3 days off when eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 33/1) 3 months ago. Cheekpieces back on. Easy to look elsewhere. Irish challenger; continues to drop down weights but 0-14 and others are more compelling.
6th
2
6th (2) (8/1 +0%) Polam Lane
8
8/1(+0%)
(2) Polam Lane 8/1, C&D winner. 16/5, not disgraced when 3 lengths third of 12 to Golden Rainbow in handicap at Newcastle (5f) when last seen in October 2022. Best watched given the length of absence. Absent since 2022 but interesting to see how this two-time course winner goes in betting.
7th
10
7th (10) (5/2 +50%) Irish Dancer
2.5
5/2(+50%)
(10) Irish Dancer 5/2, Showed first form on his third start in a handicap when second of 13 (33/1) at this C&D (good) 10 days ago, hanging left but keeping on final 1f. Merits consideration. Left previous form behind when going close at 33-1 over C&D ten days ago.
14:40 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Polam Lane is the most interesting contender on his return from the sidelines, but RESILIENCE is preferred. Craig Lidster's sprinter is also back from a break, albeit a much shorter one, and shaped like his turn in the winner's enclosure was imminent during a progressive winter campaign on the all-weather. One For The Ladies has been performing well on ground that probably wasn't quick enough for her. Turf maiden Golden Rainbow shouldn't be far way, while Irish Dancer beat Birkenhead to the runner-up berth over C&D last week but is again out of the handicap.
An open-looking sprint in which preference is for RESILIENCE, who ran well from a workable mark when finding just one too strong at Wolverhampton earlier in the year, so Craig Lidster's charge gets the nod to snap a losing run going back almost 2 years. The main threat may emerge from Irish Dancer, who showed his first form when runner-up over C&D recently, while Golden Rainbow and Birkenhead can fight out third spot.
The mare ONE FOR THE LADIES is versatile ground-wise and is taken to return to winning ways on the back of two good runs last month.
(5) My Dream World 14/1, 10/1, offered something to work on when seventh of 14 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) on debut back in December. Up in trip. Should progress. Mid-division on sole start but attractively bred and could have plenty more to offer.
1
7
1st (7) (4/9 +73%) See The Green
0.444444
4/9(+73%)
(7) See The Green 4/9, 17/2, left debut form well behind when second of 12 in maiden at Ripon (12f, heavy) 5 weeks ago, clear of rest. He isn't the biggest but is open to further improvement so holds leading claims. Runner-up at Ripon on second start and holds leading form claims on the back of that.
2
1
2nd (1) (20/1 -82%) Graze On Phoenix
20
20/1(-82%)
(1) Graze On Phoenix 20/1, Down the field in bumpers but made the frame in novices on both completed starts over hurdles. May well feature on Flat debut. Has shown ability in bumpers & over hurdles, but Positivia could be his yard's chief hope.
3
3
3rd (3) (20/1 -208%) Positivia
20
20/1(-208%)
(3) Positivia 20/1, Runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers in March and showed ability again on Flat debut when third of 5 in maiden (10/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) just under 3 weeks ago. Capable of building on that. Bumper runner-up who also ran well on Flat debut, despite the slow pace; brings potential.
4
6
4th (6) (6/1 -33%) Belcamo
6
6/1(-33%)
(6) Belcamo 6/1, 13/2 and hooded for 1st time, matched previous form when third of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f) 2 weeks ago. Up in trip. May yet have a bit more to offer on turf debut. 0-5 but this further step up in trip could prove a positive and he's not ruled out.
5th
2
5th (2) (6/1 -20%) Yurinov
6
6/1(-20%)
(2) Yurinov 6/1, 10/1, bred to stay well and shaped in kind when second of 5 in minor event at Ripon (9.8f, heavy) on debut 26 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to eased-down winner. Likely to improve, particularly now upped in trip. Promising second on last month's belated debut and open to improvement now up in trip.
6th
8
6th (8) (66/1 -450%) Epidavros
66
66/1(-450%)
(8) Epidavros 66/1, Showed something to work on when fourth of 10 in maiden (12/1) at Bath (8f, good to soft) on debut just under 5 weeks ago. Significantly up in trip. Fairly encouraging 4th on last month's debut; needs sizeable step forward now up in trip.
7th
4
7th (4) (40/1 +0%) Daidalos
40
40/1(+0%)
(4) Daidalos 40/1, Well beaten in minor event/maiden over winter. Percentage call is to look elsewhere on turf debut (has been gelded). Soundly beaten on both starts but gelded since and one to watch in the betting.
15:10 Catterick Maiden (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The experience Belcamo brings to the table will stand him in good stead, while Yurinov showed ability when runner-up at Ripon on his belated debut. Positivia didn't do badly at Newcastle on his Flat bow, nor did Epidavros when fourth at Bath. Owen Burrows doesn't send many runners to Catterick, though, and the hint must be taken. His SEE THE GREEN took a step forward from his introduction when finding only one too strong at Ripon and only a bit more improvement may be enough.
SEE THE GREEN left his debut effort well behind switched to turf when runner-up at Ripon 5 weeks ago, and with further improvement on the cards, Owen Burrows' 3-y-o can make it third time lucky at the expense of Yurinov, who should appreciate this step up in trip and is also open to progress. Positivia can edge out Belcamo for third spot.
Last month's Ripon runner-up SEE THE GREEN sets a strong form standard and he is taken to go one better. Yurinov is feared.
15:10 Catterick Maiden (Class 5) 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Macarone 5/1, Won 2 of final 3 outings at 2 yrs and was given a most considerate reappearance back from 6 months when third of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 31 days ago. Can make presence felt. Won two nurseries last season and reappeared with fair third; could build on that today.
2
2
(2) (6/1 +14%) Noisy Music
6
6/1(+14%)
(2) Noisy Music 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, showed improved form behind a progressive sort when second of 6 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 26 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan. Makes handicap debut. Shortlist material. New trainer does well with recruits from other stables; watch betting on handicap debut.
11
11
(11) (20/1 +0%) Lady Of The Garr
20
20/1(+0%)
(11) Lady Of The Garr 20/1, Modest form in varied events last year, though shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 17/2) in February. Has something to find after a further 3-month absence. Her mark has fallen but this 6-race maiden has been unable to threaten in her 3 handicaps.
10
10
(10) (50/1 -25%) Oriental Prince
50
50/1(-25%)
(10) Oriental Prince 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in maiden (100/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Easy to look elsewhere. Down the field on first 3 starts; now goes handicapping; trainer has done well with family.
12
12
(12) (80/1 -21%) Miss Rainstorm
80
80/1(-21%)
(12) Miss Rainstorm 80/1, No better than mid-division in varied events, failing to improve for the application of cheekpiece over 5f here last time. Hard to fancy. Down the field in handicaps on her two runs this season and now 0-9; others preferred.
1
3
1st (3) (7/2 +50%) Wichahpi
3.5
7/2(+50%)
(3) Wichahpi 7/2, Won nurseries at Thirsk and Leicester in 2023 and ran well when second over 5f here on reappearance. No obvious excuses when only fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 33 days ago but overall profile still merits respect. Below par last time but a good case can be made on her previous form.
2
4
2nd (4) (11/1 +21%) La La Lucrative
11
11/1(+21%)
(4) La La Lucrative 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, matched previous form when sixth of 10 on handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good) 17 days ago. Has work to do. No impact when sixth on handicap debut but made late headway over 5f; now back up to 6f.
3
9
3rd (9) (11/4 +58%) Bestie
2.75
11/4(+58%)
(9) Bestie 11/4, Returned to form back on turf when third of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 29 days ago. Player with useful 3 lb claimer now on board 3rd over 7f here latest; return to 6f isn't an obvious plus, but he could be a contender.
4
6
4th (6) (11/2 +8%) Queens Road Revue
5.5
11/2(+8%)
(6) Queens Road Revue 11/2, Matched the pick of her 2-y-o form sent handicapping after 9 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 7/1) 17 days ago. Longer trip here should suit. Finished well for fourth over 5f on handicap debut; firmly in calculations now upped to 6f.
5th
5
5th (5) (10/3 +33%) Marie's Secret
3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(5) Marie's Secret 10/3, Showed improved form when placed first 2 starts in nurseries last summer for Adrian Nicholls. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Ripon (6f, heavy) on yard debut 26 days ago. Frame claims. 0-8 but has often run well, including on last month's yard debut, and could be in the mix.
6th
7
6th (7) (11/1 -69%) Barnaby
11
11/1(-69%)
(7) Barnaby 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Took a step forward when third of 5 in maiden (15/2) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 20 days ago. Makes handicap debut from workable mark. H'cap debut; fair 3rd of five at Musselburgh latest; in good hands to continue to progress.
7th
8
7th (8) (11/1 +31%) Fistral Beach
11
11/1(+31%)
(8) Fistral Beach 11/1, Showed improved form when runner-up in a Doncaster nursery on final outing at 2 yrs. Proved too keen on first outing since leaving George Scott when seventh of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Runner-up in sole nursery last August but well beaten on stable/seasonal debut.
15:40 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
MACARONE could give weight and a beating to his rivals. He is entitled to improve for his comeback third at Pontefract, form which took a boost when the winner followed up on Monday, and forecast quicker ground should also suit. Wichahpi usually breaks well and could be dangerous from stall one, while Tim Easterby looks to have a couple of solid chances with Marie's Secret and Queens Road Revue.
NOISY MUSIC has progressed with each run and looks on a fair mark now setting out in handicaps after a stable switch. Macarone ended his juvenile campaign well and shaped as if retaining all his ability at Pontefract on his return, so is shortlisted alongside Bestie, who ran well to make the frame here last month.
The step up to 6f could be just what QUEENS ROAD REVUE (nap) needs to post a first win, having kept on well over 5f on handicap debut.
(3) Ghathanfar 5/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 12 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D (good) 10 days ago. Looks competitive from unchanged mark. Placed on his two starts this season and could make another bold bid.
10
10
(10) (13/2 +28%) A Pint Of Bear
6.5
13/2(+28%)
(10) A Pint Of Bear 13/2, Course winner. 13/2, won 9-runner handicap at Brighton (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Can give another good account. Runner-up twice in a row before winning at Brighton latest; has also won here; chance.
1
1
(1) (14/1 -75%) Profitable Edge
14
14/1(-75%)
(1) Profitable Edge 14/1, Scored at second time of asking for this yard when easily seeing off 3 rivals at Ripon (5f) in August. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 3/1). Off 7 months. Others preferred on return. Did well for new yard over 5f last year; stamina to prove on first crack at 6f.
8
8
(8) (18/1 -13%) Quercus
18
18/1(-13%)
(8) Quercus 18/1, Five-time C&D winner. Shaped as if needing run when last of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good, 25/1) 10 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others more persuasive. A return to form is needed but he's a five-time C&D winner who is not written off.
11
11
(11) (20/1 +60%) Caesars Pearl
20
20/1(+60%)
(11) Caesars Pearl 20/1, 40/1, last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f). Off 160 days. Difficult to make a case for. Disappointing end to last year but returns on good mark and having had wind surgery.
1
6
1st (6) (6/1 +70%) King Of Tonga
6
6/1(+70%)
(6) King Of Tonga 6/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 10 days ago. Frame claims again. Close fourth over C&D recently and could be thereabouts once more.
2
9
2nd (9) (7/4 +36%) Dazy Mazy
1.75
7/4(+36%)
(9) Dazy Mazy 7/4, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 9/2) 26 days ago, driven clear. Highly respected if proving as effective on a sounder surface. Off mark at eighth attempt last month; did it with something to spare; respected up 6lb.
3
2
3rd (2) (10/1 +38%) Music Society
10
10/1(+38%)
(2) Music Society 10/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 6 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Yard remain quiet and others make greater appeal. 9yo whose form has gone wrong way, but he has a handy mark and a good record in this race.
4
5
4th (5) (11/4 +54%) White Umbrella
2.75
11/4(+54%)
(5) White Umbrella 11/4, C&D winner enchanced good recent strike rate when also landing 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 5/1) 24 days ago, cosily. Shortlist material. Three wins (including C&D) from last six starts; could play yet another leading role.
5th
7
5th (7) (4/1 +0%) Canaria Queen
4
4/1(+0%)
(7) Canaria Queen 4/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to win 7-runner handicap (3/1) at Wetherby (5.5f, soft) 25 days ago. Should remain competitive from 4 lb higher mark. Got up close home over 5.5f last month; could have more to offer now back up to 6f.
6th
12
6th (12) (25/1 +38%) Laura's Breeze
25
25/1(+38%)
(12) Laura's Breeze 25/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 28/1) 9 days ago. Some time since she's threatened on turf and others make far greater appeal. AW win in March but well beaten back on grass the last twice; arrives with plenty to prove.
16:10 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
An open-looking contest could go the way of WHITE UMBRELLA, who won her only previous visit here and ran right up to her best when scoring comfortably at Wolverhampton last time. If her outside draw in stall 11 proves too much to overcome, Ghathanfar, who is 1lb well-in, could be the one to take advantage. A Pint Of Bear, Dazy Mazy and Canaria Queen all arrive in winning form and add further spice to the race.
WHITE UMBRELLA can take her record to 4 wins from her last 7 starts, a mark 13 lb higher than when winning over C&D in October looking manageable given her progress. Ghathanfar has slipped in the weights and proved his competitiveness from this mark when runner-up over C&D earlier in the month, with Canaria Queen also considered on the back of her Wetherby success.
The unexposed 4yo CANARIA QUEEN got up close home over 5.5f at Wetherby last month and can defy a 4lb rise now back up in trip.
(3) Nammos 22/1, Sold cheaply and offered little on first outing since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam after 4 months off when seventh of 8 in minor event (11/1) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 31 days ago. Runner-up on three of her first five starts but well beaten on last month's stable debut.
8
8
(8) (22/1 -38%) Havana Rose
22
22/1(-38%)
(8) Havana Rose 22/1, Showed more pace but her finishing effort was tame when tenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 20/1) just under 3 weeks ago. Percentage call is to look elsewhere. Inconsistent and down the field last time, but on a handy mark and not written off.
1
1
1st (1) (6/1 +45%) Cori Glory
6
6/1(+45%)
(1) Cori Glory 6/1, Below form when eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 12/1) 6 months ago. Will need to hit the ground running if she's to add a second career victory to her tally. Signed off last season with a below-par run but she returns on a competitive mark.
2
5
2nd (5) (7/2 +30%) Happier
3.5
7/2(+30%)
(5) Happier 7/2, Best effort of the season when fifth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago. Should be spot on now trying 7f for the first time. 0-10 in handicaps but has often run well and holds each-way claims.
3
4
3rd (4) (10/3 -33%) Lokana
3.333333
10/3(-33%)
(4) Lokana 10/3, 6/1, put her experience to good use to get off the mark after 8 months off in 10-runner maiden at Thirsk (7f, soft) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut and could kick on now up and running. Won Thirsk maiden three weeks ago on her fifth start and has potential off opening mark.
4
7
4th (7) (20/1 -67%) Petra Celera
20
20/1(-67%)
(7) Petra Celera 20/1, Course winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) back in January, merely closing up late. First run for yard after leaving K. R. Burke. Others more persuasive. Course maiden winner who has gone very close off today's mark; not ruled out on yard debut.
5th
2
5th (2) (2/1 +27%) Cue's Beau
2
2/1(+27%)
(2) Cue's Beau 2/1, Bounced back to best to resume winning ways in 9-runner handicap (7/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 24 days ago. Is now 2-2 on the surface and every chance he can extend that to 3. Narrow win at Ayr last time; just 2lb higher today and lightly raced.
6th

6th (6) (13/2 +35%) Taygar

13/2(+35%)
(6) Taygar 13/2, Made a winning debut last April but failed to build on that, well held in listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f, good, 80/1) when last seen 7 months ago. Hood on 1st time. Hasn't progressed since debut win but that's been her only start on slow ground.
16:40 Catterick Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LOKANA was an impressive all-the-way winner of a Thirsk maiden earlier this month and, with improvement likely, she gets the vote to follow up on her handicap debut. Cue's Beau looks an obvious danger, having struck at Ayr last time and being Ed Dunlop's only runner on the card. Happier is creeping down to a dangerous mark but has her stamina to prove, while a hooded Taygar also deserves a mention.
A few in with a squeak but HAPPIER turned in her best effort of the season when fifth at Ripon just under a fortnight ago and, now trying 7f for the first time, she should be spot on. Cue's Beau is 2-2 on turf but she may have to settle for silver on this occasion, with handicap-debutante Lokana rounding off the shortlist.
The 3yo LOKANA won a maiden at Thirsk in good style three weeks ago and her pedigree suggests she will be capable of better still.
(7) Key Look 5/1, C&D winner. Produced her best effort of the year when third of 14 in handicap (14/1) back at this C&D (good) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Shortlisted. Two C&D wins; creditable third over C&D last week; has to enter reckoning.

(3) (7/2 -5%) Without Delay

7/2(-5%)
(3) Without Delay 7/2, Value for extra when doubling her tally in 10-runner handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good, 9/2) 20 days ago, racing freely out wide. Remains on a workable mark so she could be able to follow up. Won at Musselburgh (1m) three weeks ago; run well over C&D before; respected up 3lb.

16/1(+11%)
(4) Sparkle In His Eye 16/1, Has been struggling for form of late, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 50/1) 59 days ago. Is edging back down in the weights but others still preferred. Struggled on AW this year; return to turf and refitting of headgear need to revive him.

22/1(+0%)
(10) Blackintime 22/1, In first-time cheekpieces, again finished well held when ninth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 150/1) in February. Needs to leave her previous form behind as she makes her handicap debut (headgear discarded). Well held in three runs on AW but bred to be better than opening mark of 45; check betting.

10/3(+33%)
(2) Homer Stokes 10/3, Has dropped to a career-low mark and finished closer than of late when 2¾ lengths fourth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 9 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Latest Ayr fourth creditable but hasn't won on turf since debut nearly three years ago.

(11) Miss Willows 9/2, Not in the same form as previous outing when tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 16/1) in October. Has work to do after 7 months off (has had a wind op). Yet to threaten in handicaps; has had wind op ahead of reappearance.

11/2(+0%)
(5) Rockin Rosa 11/2, Wasted no time getting back to form when third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good, 9/1) 23 days ago, though was again slowly away. Back down to her last winning mark so she can make her presence felt. Held up; needs things to drop right but latest C&D third shows she arrives in form.

4th (8) (7/1 +50%) Secret Daay

7/1(+50%)
(8) Secret Daay 7/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Back in handicap company, was beaten only 1¾ lengths when eighth of 12 at Newcastle (7.1f, 13/2) 45 days ago. Has been consistent in the main this year so could be thereabouts. 0-21; placed over C&D last year but others stronger for the win again.

5th (1) (11/1 +8%) Motawaazy

11/1(+8%)
(1) Motawaazy 11/1, Four-time course winner, but his last victory came back in 2022. Fared little better than on his return when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 22/1) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive at present. Four course wins but has struggled for form in recent times.

6th (6) (2/1 +69%) Coloane

2/1(+69%)
(6) Coloane 2/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. In first-time hood, failed to come on for recent run when fifth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good) 17 days ago. It's still early days for her current yard, though. 0-17 but not long with this yard and led for long way at Beverley latest; could pop up.
7th

7th (12) (50/1 +24%) Megatron

50/1(+24%)
(12) Megatron 50/1, Remains with little form, making his return from 7 months off when eleventh of 13 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Best watched. Poor maiden; well held on C&D reappearance 23 days ago; easy to look elsewhere.
17:15 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Having overcome a wide draw at Musselburgh earlier this month, WITHOUT DELAY was value for further than the narrow winning distance that day. A 3lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable for Tracy Waggott's mare and she's taken to complete a double. The biggest danger could be Key Look, who posted her best effort of the year when third over C&D recently, while Homer Stokes is likely to benefit from this drop into a 0-55 event.
WITHOUT DELAY did well in the circumstances when getting back to winning ways at Musselburgh last time, not settling fully having raced wide without cover, so she can build on her latest effort to score again. The main danger could be Rockin Rosa, who bounced back to form when third at this C&D on her latest outing, with Key Look also considered.
There's a chance COLOANE still just needed it at Beverley last time and she's starting to look dangerously well handicapped.
(10) Miss Calculation 18/1, In first-time blinkers, below form when ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/1) 27 days ago. Headgear quickly discarded, but needs to step up on what she's shown so far this year as she returns to turf. Has largely struggled on AW since joining this stable; others are preferred again.

2nd (2) (5/2 -11%) Langholm
2.5
5/2(-11%)
(2) Langholm 5/2, Hasn't won since successful at this C&D back in 2022 but he's been in good heart this season, third of 12 in handicap here (6f, good, 6/1) 10 days ago. Respected as he returns to this longer trip. C&D winner and placed three times here already this season; nice draw; should go well.

3rd (3) (15/2 -88%) Mr Strutter
7.5
15/2(-88%)
(3) Mr Strutter 15/2, Four-time C&D winner, with latest success here in October. Caught eye when seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 9/1) 29 days ago, finishing with running left. Major player at this venue. Landed fourth C&D win last autumn; late headway here latest and could be back in form.

4th (1) (11/2 +21%) Sunny Orange
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(1) Sunny Orange 11/2, Sole victory came on his debut in 2022. Ran to only a similar level as on reappearance when seventh of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Beverley (8.4f, good) 17 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark as he drops back in trip. 0-17 since 2yo debut and others are preferred again.
5th

5th (7) (8/1 +33%) Josiebond
8
8/1(+33%)
(7) Josiebond 8/1, C&D winner. After 7 months off, not disgraced when sixth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good, 12/1) 17 days ago, no extra last ½f. Could fare better with her recent run behind her. Former C&D winner and entitled to come on for respectable reappearance; enters reckoning.
6th
9
6th (9) (12/1 +14%) Rum Runner
12
12/1(+14%)
(9) Rum Runner 12/1, Eleven runs since his last win at this C&D in 2023. Seventh of 13 in handicap back at this C&D (good, 11/1) 23 days ago, nearest finish having typically been slowly away. Needs everything to drop right. C&D win last summer and some late headway from too far back here latest.
7th

7th (6) (7/1 +22%) Elladora
7
7/1(+22%)
(6) Elladora 7/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023, but ran best race for her current yard when fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good, 12/1) 10 days ago. Races from 7 lb below her last winning mark so she's not discounted. Better signs for new yard when fifth over C&D last week; well treated if building on that.
8th

8th (5) (16/1 -129%) Stop On Red
16
16/1(-129%)
(5) Stop On Red 16/1, C&D winner last summer. After just 2 days off, failed to come on his return when eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in February. Capable of being in the mix if ready to go after a 3-month break. C&D classified win last year; found it tougher since so needs return to this venue to help.
9th

9th (8) (66/1 -32%) Grand Style
66
66/1(-32%)
(8) Grand Style 66/1, Making her first start since leaving Alexandra Dunn, offered little after 3 months off when last of 9 in handicap (80/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 20 days ago. Has plenty to prove. Ex French; has beaten a total of only one rival in five starts since coming to Britain..
10th

10th (4) (15/2 +6%) Musical Masquerade
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(4) Musical Masquerade 15/2, In first-time visor, not discredited on his turf debut when third of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Pontefract (8f, soft) 22 days ago. Remains lightly raced for his age so he could still have more to offer. Low-mileage 5yo who may benefit from return to 7f after fading late over 1m latest.
11th

11th (11) (125/1 -89%) Mr Gambino
125
125/1(-89%)
(11) Mr Gambino 125/1, Remains a maiden. Tried in cheekpieces after almost a year off, probably needed the run when last of 11 in handicap at this course (12.1f, good, 150/1) 10 days ago. Back down in trip with visor reapplied. 0-17; tailed off on 1m4f course reappearance last week; outsider.
17:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Recent solid form is thin on the ground and this looks a suitable opportunity for LANGHOLM to get back on the scoresheet. The eight-year-old's last victory was recorded over C&D almost two years ago and a return to this trip could prove fruitful. Six-time course winner Mr Strutter is still 3lb above his last winning mark, but he always warrants respect at this venue and may put up the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Elladora.
MR STRUTTER hasn't been seen to best effect at this venue on his last 2 starts, keeping on having raced well off the pace on his latest outing, so he looks one to keep on the right side as he bids for a fifth C&D success. Langholm has been placed here 3 times this season and isn't taken lightly, while Musical Masquerade is another to note.
His losing run is mounting up but LANGHOLM rarely runs a bad race here and should make a bold show from a handy draw for a front-runner.
