LTO Selection:

14:10 Catterick Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Grey Gray has an experience edge after three runs, and she could go well for her in-form stable. The daughter of Expert Eye may prove the main danger to PEACE WALL, who finished third on her debut at Wolverhampton. She did well to be beaten just over a length despite wandering around, and is entitled to have improved plenty for that experience. Bazball is noted too.

PEACE WALL shaped encouragingly on debut at Wolverhampton recently and can improve sufficiently to take this low-grade maiden. Grey Gray and newcomer Lotting's Lass look the likeliest dangers.

The vote goes to PEACE WALL, who shaped nicely on her recent debut. Grey Gray and Lotting's Lass are also shortlisted.

Aconcagua Mountain

3.5/1(+0%)
(2) Aconcagua Mountain 3.5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 5/1, shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off when fifth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Blinkers back on and weighted to go close.
Could come on for reappearance run and no surprise if he is a serious player this time..
LTO Selection:

14:40 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

There is a lot to like about the chances of ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN for a stable in among the winners. He rounded off last year with two wins at Wolverhampton and returned to action with a promising fifth at Hamilton off 1lb higher, beaten a length and a half after weakening close home. Nominal improvement may see him prove too speedy for both C&D third Golden Gal and the consistent Dream Deal.

ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN should be all the better for his recent Hamilton reappearance fifth and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of in-form C&D scorer Golden Gal. Fellow C&D winner Astapor can also have a say.

This can be taken by ASTAPOR, who is in good form and was a shade unlucky not to make it back-to-back C&D wins last time.

(1) Merrijig 12/1, Sixth of 8 in maiden at Windsor (10f, heavy, 66/1) on Flat debut 17 days ago, finding distance an inadequate test. Showed plenty in bumpers and no forlorn hope now up in trip.
Showed promise in bumpers & didn't run badly on 1m2f Flat debut; this longer trip can help.

100-1, tailed off on recent debut at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy).
LTO Selection:

15:10 Catterick Maiden (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Merrijig has placed in two bumpers and could surprise a few stepping up from a mile and a quarter, though he may still find a couple too good at these weights. PROSPER LEGEND looked one-paced over 10 furlongs last time out at Windsor but ought to find this trip more to his liking as a son of Australia, and he could hold off Night At Sea, who needs to improve on her Chester fourth but still looks the likeliest to follow the selection home.

PROSPER LEGEND has much the best form and with this step up in trip also a big plus he rates a confident selection to open his account. Night At Sea wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Chester and is next on the list ahead of Merrijig and Paisano who can fight it out for minor honours.

The William Haggas-trained PROSPER LEGEND holds leading claims following his good third at Windsor last month.

Drops back again in trip; prominent racer; hood may help; probably capable of better..
LTO Selection:

15:40 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The unexposed GHOST LIGHTS put in a career best when second over this trip at Nottingham earlier in the month and he could be hard to stop off the same mark here. Artemis Flyer made the frame on her most recent outing at Thirsk and could do so once again, while Chamber Choir and Tantalus are others who merit places on the shortlist.

GHOST LIGHTS has a steadily progressive profile and was clear of the remainder when second at Nottingham last time, so there's every reason to think he can open his account in this lesser contest. Chamber Choir is the main danger on the back of a good effort in first-time blinkers at Chelmsford and it would be no surprise were Tantalus to bounce back from a rare poor effort.

There isn't much depth to this race and it could be a good opportunity for GHOST LIGHTS to continue his progress and break his duck.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

WADE'S MAGIC was only narrowly denied when third over C&D 10 days ago and, off the same mark, the son of Lethal Force merits the utmost respect. So Grateful bounced back to form when runner-up at Hamilton last time and he could pose the biggest threat to the selection, although Jupiter Express and Chookie Dunedin are others with valid form claims.

Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with JUPITER EXPRESS to take advantage of a lenient mark and resume winning ways. So Grateful is feared most on the back of his good recent Hamilton second, although in-form pair Chookie Dunedin and Wade's Magic can have a say too.

Preference is just for JUPITER EXPRESS, who retains his ability and might be given the necessary lift by new headgear.

Gometra Ginty

18/1(+45%)
(2) Gometra Ginty 18/1, C&D winner. Shaped as if still needing the run when fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good, 10/3) 10 days ago. One to consider.
Better last time but will need another forward step against some unexposed 3yos.

Poet's Magic

22/1(+27%)
(1) Poet's Magic 22/1, Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Chester (7f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Needs to hit the ground running.
Boasts a decent record on comeback and is ideally suited by a turning 7f on fast ground.
9th
9th (8) Centrefold (4.5/1 +31%)
Centrefold

4.5/1(+31%)
(8) Centrefold 4.5/1, Promising sort. 11/2 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 47 days ago. Makes handicap debut. More to come.
Always the danger she'll pull hard again from stall 9 but she's open to improvement.
LTO Selection:

16:40 Catterick Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Centrefold won over 7f at Wolverhampton when last seen, although Roger Varian's charge has been given a 2lb hike in the ratings for that success. Therefore, the nod goes to STAR GUEST. The Godolphin three-year-old has been running consistently well in her career to date and she wasn't beaten far on her handicap bow at Yarmouth last time. Off the same mark, dropped in trip and with Harry Davies claiming 3lb, she could be tough to beat. Wild Side is a last-time-out winner and is feared most on her first run in handicap company.

STAR GUEST looks the way to go given she raced freely on her first start for four months when runner-up at Newmarket, and she can take a step forward from that. Roger Varian's improving Wolverhampton scorer Centrefold should ensure Charlie Appleby's filly doesn't have things all her own way though, while handicap debutante Wild Side can't be taken lightly either.

There's surely more to come from STAR GUEST, who won't mind the drop from 1m. Centrefold is also open to improvement if settling.

Mutanaaseq

4/1(+60%)
(10) Mutanaaseq 4/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2021. Good ¾-length second of 9 to Obee Jo in handicap at this C&D (good, 13/2) 10 days ago, keeping on well. Claims of being in the mix again with a repeat for all his losing run is off-putting.
On a long losing run but went close over C&D last Monday; could be bang there once more.

(7) Liberty Breeze 16/1, Dual C&D winner. 13/2, 4¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Obee Jo in handicap at this C&D (good) 10 days ago, possibly still in need of the run. Not discounted operating from last winning mark.
Landed a C&D double last July and could be working her way back to form.

(1) Obee Jo 7.5/1, Winless last term but eased in weights and stepped up plenty on reappearance run when winning 9-runner C&D handicap 10 days ago by ¾ length from Mutanaaseq. Escapes a penalty for that and he's in the mix again from handy draw.
Won over C&D last Monday and escapes a penalty today; strong claims.

(3) Without Delay 20/1, 17/2, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 10 days ago, not ideally placed. Operating below last winning mark but this looks a more demanding affair.
Ran well over C&D last May and also on recent return at Musselburgh; she's one to consider.

(12) Oh So Audacious 8.5/1, First run since leaving Chris Wall when bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Brighton (8f, good) 33 days ago. Still, feasible to think she can step up on that and she's operating from a basement mark. Interesting if market speaks in her favour.
Encouraging fourth on stable debut and this drop to 7f could be a productive move.
6th
6th (5) The Waiting Game (18/1 +10%)
The Waiting Game

18/1(+10%)
(5) The Waiting Game 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 21 days ago. More needed.
Has shown ability but was soundly beaten on handicap debut at Kempton three weeks ago.

(4) Rain Cap 25/1, Course winner. 12/1, 9 lengths eighth of 9 to Obee Jo in handicap at this C&D (good) 10 days ago, pushed along 3f out and always behind. Needs to bounce back.
Never in it over C&D last Monday but good run previously and has won here three times.

1.25/1(+29%)
(11) Mr Jetman 1.25/1, Going the right way in handicaps, running out a good winner of 15-runner Redcar handicap (7f) 3 days ago. Remains less exposed than most and he's of firm interest under a penalty.
Won in big field at Thirsk on Monday & this unexposed 3yo could have more left in the tank.
9th

(2) Josiebond 11/1, C&D winner. Good second of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 10/1) 14 days ago, keeping on well without getting to one who got first run. Not out of things from 2 lb higher mark.
Slow ground may suit best over this C&D but she's entitled to respect after comeback 2nd.

10th (9) Brides Bay (80/1 -60%)
Brides Bay

80/1(-60%)
(9) Brides Bay 80/1, Maiden (best form on AW for Richard Hughes) who has finished well held on 3 of her 4 starts for present yard, very slowly away and always behind when eleventh in 12-runner Doncaster handicap (6f) 26 days ago. Can only be watched at present.
Fair 4th on stable debut at Ripon last September but has struggled on her three runs since.

(6) Jackmeister Rudi 14/1, Course winner. 4/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago, weakening final 1f. Back up in trip.
Not quite at his best this year but the return to Catterick could be in his favour.

(13) My Beauty 66/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Brighton (1m, good, 50/1) 22 days ago, very slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Roger Ingram.
Down the field on all nine runs for Roger Ingram; would be a shock winner on stable debut.

Naughty Ted

100/1(-52%)
(14) Naughty Ted 100/1, 17/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 45 days ago, always behind. Others make more appeal.
3yo; form has gone wrong way; needs to get back on track on first run since being gelded.
LTO Selection:

17:12 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This is a difficult puzzle to solve, with plenty of connections arriving here surely thinking their horse is in with a good chance, and perhaps none more so than those affiliated to MUTANAASEQ. Ruth Carr's runner is fancied to reverse the form with Obee Jo, who finished three quarters of a length in front of him last time over C&D. The eight-year-old is off the same mark and should appreciate Taylor Fisher claiming 5lb. Mr Jetman is another last-time-out winner in this field after scoring over 7f at Redcar on Monday.

MR JETMAN ran out a good winner at Redcar 3 days ago and, turned out under a penalty, he gets the nod to follow up with further progress not out of the question. Recent C&D winner Obee Jo and Josiebond head up the dangers, with Oh So Audacious and Mutanaaseq others worthy of a mention.

The 3yo MR JETMAN (nap) was a hot favourite when winning a big-field handicap at Thirsk on Monday and is taken to defy a 6lb penalty.

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.
