LTO Selection:

13:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to do well and finish in the top three are 5.5/1 (9) DREAMCASING, 1.63/1 (4) TWO SUMMERS, and 7/1 (2) OBEE JO. 5.5/1 (9) DREAMCASING has the ability to win off this mark and has races in him, 1.63/1 (4) TWO SUMMERS has started the season well and is highly likely to be involved, and 7/1 (2) OBEE JO is interesting off a career-low mark and is a C&D winner. However, as with all horse races, there is always an element of unpredictability and any horse could surprise and finish in the top three.

Liberty Breeze has won two of his three starts over this C&D, with the latest of those wins coming off this mark in July last year, but he will need to step up on a disappointing run (last of 11) at Thirsk on his return to have a say. Two Summers was only beaten a neck at Doncaster last time but has an added 4lb now and a chance is taken on RAIN CAP, who was only beaten a length at Wolverhampton last month and has winning form on a similar surface.

OBEE JO has dropped to a career-low mark and could be set to cash in back at the scene of his last success following a satisfactory return at Doncaster. Two Summers went close in that same race and can make another bold bid despite a 4 lb rise. Liberty Breeze is another to note back at Catterick (both her wins have come here).

The suggestion is MUTANAASEQ, who is probably in better form than this season's form figures may imply.

LTO Selection:

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

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

Based on the summary provided, it seems like 1.5/1 (4) SPECIFIC TIMES is the horse to beat, with promising early dash in a recent maiden race and strong breeding pedigree. Therefore, 1.5/1 (4) SPECIFIC TIMES is likely to finish in 1st place. In terms of 2nd and 3rd place, it is difficult to predict without more information on the other horses' recent form and performances.

SPECIFIC TIMES showed some promise when fifth on her Newmarket debut, despite becoming unbalanced at a crucial stage, and if she has learned from that experience, then she may be able to come out on top in this small field. Majestic Beauty looks the better of the two newcomers on paper, as a half-sister to Mr Wizard, and she may be good enough to pick up second place, although Harvanna is also a daughter of Havana Grey and might have a say as well.

SPECIFIC TIMES is bred and built for sprinting and she showed enough on debut in a better race than this at Newmarket to suggest she'll soon be winning. That said, Majestic Beauty and Harvanna are newcomers with plenty going for them on paper.

This can go to MAJESTIC BEAUTY, who was taken out of her intended debut at Ascot on Friday due to the testing ground.

Laakhof

3/1(+81%)
(9) Laakhof 3/1, Maiden who ended last term in disappointing fashion, fifteenth in 21-runner handicap at the Curragh (5f) on final start in August. Joined new yard for 10,000 gns in October and the betting should prove a useful guide here. Tongue tie on 1st time.

(2) Golden Gal 5.5/1, C&D winner. Bit below form 3 lengths fourth of 10 to Astapor in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 14/1) 19 days ago, no extra final 1f. Feasible to think she'll be sharper with that under her belt and possibilities now operating 2 lb below last winning mark.

Captain Corcoran

22/1(-10%)
(8) Captain Corcoran 22/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 7/1) 23 days ago, headed over 2f out and weakening. Mark is steadily easing but others make more appeal for win purposes here.

LTO Selection:

14:50 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, the horses that have the most potential to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st: 4/1 (4) ZOOM STAR - who ran right up to their best in their last race and has a handy draw. 2nd: 5/1 (1) ASTAPOR - who won their last race and is not ruled out for a repeat performance. 3rd: 14/1 (6) ROCKLEY POINT - who had each-way claims in their last race and has previous experience on turf. It's worth noting that the summary suggests some of the horses have work to do or are less likely to perform well, so these predictions are subject to changes in form and factors such as market fluctuations.

Zoom Star has won twice over C&D on ground with plenty of cut in it and he is one to take seriously now, but if GOLDEN GAL improves at all for her first start after a wind-op, when fourth here last month, then she could be well handicapped. A comfortable winner on soft ground off 2lb higher here last summer, she may win for the fourth time, with the ex-Irish Laakhof one to watch in the market in a first-time tongue-tie.

A dual C&D winner, GOLDEN GAL shaped well on the back of 6 months off when fourth in a C&D handicap won by Astapor 3 weeks ago and, entitled to be sharper with that under her belt, she's fancied to go well now operating from a 2 lb lower mark. Zoom Star, following her Nottingham second, and Congress are also considered, whilst aforementioned Astapor can't be dismissed lightly either.

Astapor's recent C&D win reads well enough but ZOOM STAR's record on soft ground stands up to scrutiny and she's preferred.

(6) Elizabeth's Joy 150/1, Washington Dc filly. Half-sister to 1¼m-1½m winner Cheap Jack and 5f/6f winner Mattice. Dam 8.4f winner. Watching brief is advised on debut.
Dam has produced two winners; likely she's one for handicaps down the line.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Predicted 1st: 5.5/1 (10) PRETTY FLAG Predicted 2nd: 2.5/1 (9) LAURA'S BREEZE Predicted 3rd: 3.5/1 (5) THEMAINPROTAGONIST

Laura's Breeze, a half-sister to three-time 5f winner Peerless, is respected after she made a pleasing start over this trip in hot-looking Newbury maiden last month. She should be wiser for the experience and rates a key player today. However, FINAL CREDIT, who cost 100,000gns as a yearling, also has a striking pedigree and looks a tad more appealing given this sort of distance appears to be an ideal staring point on paper. Opera Legend is also considered.

George Boughey won this with a newcomer last year so the suggestion is PRETTY FLAG, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Laura's Breeze and Themainprotagonist look best of those with experience, while Final Credit is another debutant who is a likely type on paper and needs keeping a close eye on in the betting.

William Haggas is 29-88 here and OPERA LEGEND is surely capable of better having been gelded. Laura's Breeze is the obvious danger.

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

1st: 2.5/1 (7) COLD HENRY 2nd: 7.5/1 (2) OASIS PRINCE 3rd: 4/1 (1) QUERCUS ROBUR

Cold Henry finished last season with a couple of C&D wins and is high on the shorlist resuming from just a 4lb higher mark. Quercus Robur also warrants consideration given he still has scope to improve over the trip and might find it easier to give weight away now he drops in class. However, the vote goes to ROBERT JOHNSON, who has proven his stamina over hurdles and looks progressive enough to defy the 5lb penalty for winning over 1m4f at Thirsk last week.

COLD HENRY has been an improved performer since stepping up to long distances and signed last season off with a pair of C&D successes, so is fancied to continue his progress on return. Oasis Prince ran respectably at Thirsk last time and should be in the mix again, whilst the thriving Robert Johnson would surely be a player if seeing out this longer trip.

Hat-trick chasers Robert Johnson and Cold Henry have claims, but OASIS PRINCE (nap) looks the one for his red-hot yard.

LTO Selection:

16:20 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information given, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in the top three. However, some horses that may be worth considering are 6.5/1 (6) SHABAABY, 8/1 (5) REDROSEZORRO, 3.5/1 (3) LANGHOLM, 3.33/1 (2) LEZARDRIEUX, and 14/1 (10) WADE'S MAGIC. 6.5/1 (6) SHABAABY has recently run a close third in a race and has a fair mark, while 8/1 (5) REDROSEZORRO has won at this course multiple times but had a below form performance in the last race. 3.5/1 (3) LANGHOLM has had two good efforts over longer distances and has performed well at this course. 3.33/1 (2) LEZARDRIEUX has the advantage of being a nicely handicapped C&D winner and performed well in a recent race after a break. Finally, 14/1 (10) WADE'S MAGIC has suffered some poor runs but may be a contender with an easing mark. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to make their own prediction based on the information provided.

Lezardrieux won over C&D off 1lb lower last September and is respected after returning with a good second on the all-weather last week, while Redrosezorro is a seven-time course winner who can never confidently be ruled out back at his seemingly favourite course. However, slight preference is for LANGHOLM, who is versatile regarding the trip and ground, and, having gone close over 7f here in both of his last two outings, dropping back in distance can prompt a return to winning ways today.

LEZARDRIEUX made a promising return when collared only late on at Newcastle a week ago so this C&D winner is fancied to go one better off an unchanged mark. Course-scorer Langholm is feared most on the back of a good recent second here, with Hurstwood and Shabaaby completing the shortlist.

Preference is for LEZARDRIEUX, a well-handicapped C&D winner who made a pleasing return last week on the AW.

(7) Lituus 16/1, 9/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 32 days ago. Likely to come up short once more.
11-race maiden who certainly isn't improving and unraced on ground softer than good..
LTO Selection:

16:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (5) TURBULENT POWER seems to be the most solid option and has a good chance of finishing in the top three. 14/1 (3) TRUSTY SCOUT and 8/1 (6) PRINCE ACHILLE could also be contenders for a place, but it is difficult to predict which of them will finish in 2nd or 3rd.

Turbulent Power has filled the runner-up spot on her last three starts, including twice over C&D last month, and another bold bid is expected following her most recent effort at Thirsk on Thursday. Jamih was in fine fettle last season, winning twice and placing on three occasions from seven outings, and has to be of considerable interest, but a chance is taken with SICARIO. The eight-year-old has mostly been a consistent performer since joining Mick Appleby last autumn and it would be no surprise if he returned to winning ways, especially having his first run on turf for the East Midlands handler.

While TURBULENT POWER remains a maiden following 17 appearances in this sphere, she has been knocking firmly on the door of late and is taken to deservedly open her account. Prince Achille should be on the premises if able to back up his latest effort and Jamih, who goes well here, won't be far away either if fully tuned-up for this assignment.

With most of her rivals having questions to answer on one count or another, this could be the day for TURBULENT POWER.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in first, second, and third place. However, 6/1 (7) VISITANT and 4/1 (4) JAMIL may have a competitive chance based on their recent form and previous performances. The other horses have either shown inconsistencies or lack of success in their recent runs, making their chances uncertain.

JAMIL shaped better than the distance he was beaten suggests when placing at Thirsk on Thursday and this appears to represent a fine opportunity for the eight-year-old in a contest that lacks depth on paper. Tiberio Force is likely to step forward from his return at Doncaster last month, while Visitant's second at Thirsk last month earns him a place on the shortlist.

Preference is for C&D winner JAMIL, who arrives on the back of a solid effort at Thirsk and is still on a workable mark. Haseef is nicely treated and will be dangerous if lasting out over this longer trip, whilst Visitant also enters calculations.

The 6yo ODD VENTURE might be worth chancing as some of his turf form in Ireland reads well in the context of today's company.

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.
