14:25 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5.5/1 -10%) Let Her Loose	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(1) Let Her Loose 5.5/1, Third amatuer riders' handicap win of the season (all under Brodie Hampson) when shading a tight finish (reopposing Sameem back in third) at Ayr (13f) last Thursday. Not obviously well treated under a 5 lb penalty but still respected as an in-form mare. Has won under Brodie Hampson on three of her last four runs; 5lb penalty may not stop her.
2	9 2nd (9) (8/1 +71%) Fen Tiger	8 8/1(+71%)	(9) Fen Tiger 8/1, Three wins in a productive 2022. Hasn't scaled the same heights this term but shaped a bit better last time and has dropped back to his last winning mark. Won at Leicester last October but has struggled to get competitive on his 5 runs this year.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 +10%) Jamil	9 9/1(+10%)	(7) Jamil 9/1, Four-time C&D winner, including twice this season. Another fine effort over C&D when going down by only a short head last time. Respected from an unchanged mark. Likes it here and has run well over C&D on his last three starts; solid claims.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +0%) The Dancing Poet	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) The Dancing Poet 5/1, This year's efforts no more than respectable but he won this race under Simon Walker in 2021 and 2002 and is handicapped to make a bold bid for the hat-trick if staging a revival. Below best on last 3 starts but has won last 2 runnings of this race; has to be respected.
5th	6 5th (6) (4.5/1 +63%) Sameem	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(6) Sameem 4.5/1, Latest win at Ripon in June. Respectable 1¾ lengths third of 7 to Let Her Loose in handicap at Ayr (13f, good to firm, 10/3) 4 days ago. Back on song when third to Let Her Loose at Ayr last Thursday and could be thereabouts.
6th	3 6th (3) (4/1 -100%) A La Francaise	4 4/1(-100%)	(3) A La Francaise 4/1, Back to best when runner-up twice this summer and went close again when third at Musselburgh (12.5f) 10 days ago. Good shout from the same mark. Went close at Musselburgh recently and one to consider under the promising Jack Nicholls.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -13%) Just Hiss	9 9/1(-13%)	(2) Just Hiss 9/1, Won 8-runner handicap at Pontefract (1¼m, good, 3/1) 12 days ago, driven out. Back up in trip. Ought to remain competitive after a 4 lb rise. Last year's runner-up who has won two of his last four starts; strong claims.
8th	4 8th (4) (18/1 +10%) The Navigator	18 18/1(+10%)	(4) The Navigator 18/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (11f, good, 13/2) 32 days ago, never nearer. Fair fourth at Hamilton last month but needs something extra if he's to win this.
9th	10 9th (10) (14/1 +65%) Whiskey And Water	14 14/1(+65%)	(10) Whiskey And Water 14/1, Seventh of 12 in C&D handicap (good) 33 days ago, left poorly placed. Yard's good record in this race makes him a dangerous one to discount but others arrive with more pressing claims. Took step back in right direction over C&D last month but was still soundly beaten.
10th	8 10th (8) (50/1 -150%) Sefton Warrior	50 50/1(-150%)	(8) Sefton Warrior 50/1, Absent since pulling up in a Thurles handicap hurdle in February 2022. Fair on the Flat in Britain earlier in his career. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations for this Irish raider. Returns from long absence but has travelled from Ireland; one to watch in the betting.
11th	11 11th (11) (14/1 +30%) Odd Venture	14 14/1(+30%)	(11) Odd Venture 14/1, 5/1, won 11-runner classified event at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 27 days ago, cosily. Won Musselburgh classified last month; this is tougher but he had something in hand.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

There has been little stopping LET HER LOOSE in recent months, with the six-year-old making it three wins from her last four starts at Ayr on Thursday, and Archie Watson's mare could prove tough to stop once again, despite a 5lb penalty. Jamil is a four-time C&D winner who went very close to enhancing that record here earlier this month and another bold bid is expected. Just Hiss and A La Francaise are others capable of being in the mix.

A LA FRANCAISE has been knocking on the door lately and might prove the answer to this competitive opener. Last week's Ayr scorer Let Her Loose and C&D specialist Jamil are likely to be on the premises, while The Dancing Poet's very good record in this race also earns him a place on the shortlist.

Top of the list is JAMIL, who likes it here and has run well over C&D on his last three starts. A La Francaise is second choice.

15:00 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (4/1 +27%) Crack The Kode	4 4/1(+27%)	(9) Crack The Kode 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 6 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good, 8/1) 31 days ago, runner-up that day tasted success at Beverley last week and he's worthy of consideration operating from a 1 lb higher mark. Close third to a previous winner on nursery debut; has a chance but stall 10 a negative.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.75/1 +66%) Moreginplease	2.75 2.75/1(+66%)	(6) Moreginplease 2.75/1, Time Test filly. Surpassed previous form when third on nursery debut at Lingfield (6f) in July. Ran to a similar level without threatening when seventh back in novice company latest but this rates much more suitable. Considered. Third at Lingfield (turf) on only h'cap start; stiff task latest; chance down in grade.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 +0%) Chat Up Line	8 8/1(+0%)	(4) Chat Up Line 8/1, Winner at Nottingham in July. Fourth of 6 in nursery at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 6/1) 13 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not out of things. 6f Nottingham h'cap winner last month; two lesser efforts since; a possible down in grade.
4	10 4th (10) (18/1 -50%) Lady Of The Garr	18 18/1(-50%)	(10) Lady Of The Garr 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago, weakening approaching final 1f. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping but others make more appeal for win purposes here. Beaten 2l when sixth in 6f AW novice last time; chance on that form; h'cap debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 +6%) Socialise	8 8/1(+6%)	(5) Socialise 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, ninth of 10 in nursery (12/1) at Ascot (6f, good) 38 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Previous York fourth wasn't devoid of promise and drop in class rates an obvious plus on second start in nurseries. Decent 4th in York maiden; well beaten on nursery debut (Ascot); chance now down in grade.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -20%) Hooray For Hazel	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Hooray For Hazel 12/1, Expert Eye filly who showed ability amidst obvious signs of greenness when third on debut at Beverley (5f) in May. Unable to build on that in 2 starts kept to 5f subsequently but longer trip rates a plus now handicapping and she comes here with yard in good order. Fair third on Beverley debut (5f); disappointing since; up in trip for handicap debut.
7th	12 7th (12) (80/1 -21%) Ifonlytheycudtalk	80 80/1(-21%)	(12) Ifonlytheycudtalk 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 13 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces replace blinkers now but he's hard to make a case for. Poor form; cheekpieces on instead of blinkers but would be a surprise winner.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -40%) Dear Mary	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Dear Mary 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in minor event (28/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut and interesting what the market makes of her. Fair 4th in Carlisle novice in June; lesser efforts since; bit to prove on handicap debut.
9th	11 9th (11) (25/1 -25%) Patasola	25 25/1(-25%)	(11) Patasola 25/1, 80/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 12 in nursery at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Exposed sort who hasn't shown enough in nurseries to suggest she will take this.
10th	3 10th (3) (7.5/1 -36%) Battleofbaltimore	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(3) Battleofbaltimore 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in minor event (13/2) at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Makes handicap debut but assessor seemingly taken no chances with opening mark. Fair runs in 6f novice events on first two starts; quite interesting on nursery debut.
11th	2 11th (2) (4/1 -33%) Lightning Point	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Lightning Point 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in nursery at Chelmsford (5f, 11/4) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly back on turf dropped into class 6 company. Close 4th in AW nursery over 5f latest; seems to stay 6f; stable in fine form; interesting.

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

CRACK THE KODE took a decent step forward on his nursery debut at Pontefract when potentially finding the stiff finish a bit too much in the closing stages. This track shouldn't pose as much of an issue in that regard and Kevin Ryan's gelding is expected to have more to offer. Battleofbaltimore disappointed when dropped to 5f at Lingfield latest but is better judged on his first two performances over this trip and is likely to enter calculations, while others to note include Hooray For Hazel and Chat Up Line.

CRACK THE KODE produced easily his most convincing effort yet when third on nursery debut at Pontefract 31 days ago, pulling clear with a pair who are steadily going the right way, and he earns the vote to build on that now. Hooray for Hazel rates a likely improver on nursery bow and is feared, along with Moreginplease and Lightning Profit.

This low-grade nursery can go to MOREGINPLEASE who shaped well on her only previous handicap start and has the benefit of a low draw.

15:35 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (0.91/1 +17%) Harappan	0.91 0.91/1(+17%)	(2) Harappan 0.91/1, Sold out of John Butler's yard after a promising debut and made a winning start for current connections in 5-runner minor event (8/13) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 17 days ago. Can follow up with further improvement to come. Cost 150,000gns in July; 8-13 Wolves 1m4f winner latest; switch to turf a slight concern.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 -45%) Hondo	4 4/1(-45%)	(7) Hondo 4/1, Still seemed in need of experience when fourth of 7 on handicap debut at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) 25 days ago, nearest finish. Step up in trip should suit and he can make his presence felt. Fair form so far, notably when 4th in 1m2f Doncaster h'cap; chance now up to 1m4f.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +47%) Mass Consumption	4 4/1(+47%)	(5) Mass Consumption 4/1, First run since leaving Jedd O'Keeffe when fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 11/4) 6 days ago. Needs to resume progress as he goes further up in distance. Second in 1m Ripon maiden in June; 5th off 64 on h'cap debut (1m2f, AW); now tried at 1m4f.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 -125%) Owners Dream	9 9/1(-125%)	(6) Owners Dream 9/1, Had been consistent prior to running below form last 2 starts, in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 11/4) 12 days ago. However, is worth another chance at this longer trip. Chance on his handicap second in July (1m2f) but disappointing since; cheekpieces on again.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/1 +50%) A Poet's Secret	6 6/1(+50%)	(4) A Poet's Secret 6/1, Very green but showed ability when fifth of 10 in maiden (6/1) at Kempton (12f) on debut in March. Off since but he should have more to offer. Didn't show much on his debut at Kempton in March (1m2f, 6-1) but improvement likely.
6th	3 6th (3) (200/1 -203%) J C International	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) J C International 200/1, Little impact in a pair of bumpers and finished well held when sixth of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 200/1) on flat debut 16 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Poor form in bumpers; well beaten at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) on Flat debut; best watched.
7th	1 7th (1) (200/1 -203%) Fly Awhile Johnny	200 200/1(-203%)	(1) Fly Awhile Johnny 200/1, Maiden pointer and well-beaten seventh of 13 in bumper at Aintree (17f, good, 25/1) on Rules debut 94 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Jack Teal. Best watched. Has shown a little promise in points and a bumper; best watched on Flat debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (200/1 -100%) Trinidad Calypso	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) Trinidad Calypso 200/1, Has offered little in 2 starts so far, last of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Two low-level efforts over 1m2f and best watched for now.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

HARAPPAN made a promising debut when outrunning his odds to finish third at Newcastle before getting off the mark at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, having been sold for 150,000gns at the Newmarket sale in between those efforts. Iain Jardine's gelding is likely to be too strong for this opposition, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Mass Consumption is capable of better following a below-par effort on his handicap debut at Newcastle, while improvement appears to be likely from A Poet's Secret.

Having been sold for 150,000 gns after a promising debut, HARAPPAN made a winning start for his current yard at Wolverhampton earlier this month and he can continue his progress to score again. Hondo has shaped as if this longer trip should suit and he looks to be the main danger, with Owners Dream completing the shortlist.

A tricky race can go to HONDO who seemed suited by the step up to 1m2f last time and should be even more effective at this trip.

16:10 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (5.5/1 +45%) Albegone	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(8) Albegone 5.5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, good second of 7 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago, rallying. Well treated; back to form when close second last time but this looks tougher.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.5/1 -56%) Borough	3.5 3.5/1(-56%)	(3) Borough 3.5/1, Thriving for this yard now, winning a Hamilton apprentice race last week. Escapes a penalty and William Pyle couldn't claim in the Hamilton race but takes off 5 lb now. Obvious claims. In fine form on soft/good to soft; no penalty for latest win; chance unless going is fast.
3	1 3rd (1) (5.5/1 -83%) Soul Seeker	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(1) Soul Seeker 5.5/1, Back in good form lately, winning 5f handicaps at York and Beverley (also close second at Newmarket in between). Should make his presence felt again. In fine form with two wins and a close second from last three starts; leading contender.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +20%) High Opinion	6 6/1(+20%)	(7) High Opinion 6/1, Unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to soft, 4/1) 13 days ago, keeping on when snatched up in the final 50 yds. Merits consideration. Same mark as Nottingham win last term (soft); creditable efforts this term; more needed.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 +29%) Good Luck Fox	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Good Luck Fox 10/1, C&D winner last year and also runner-up here in June. Below par since but favourably handicapped if staging a revival at a venue which suits. Rather disappointing since C&D 2nd in June (good to firm); drying out ground will suit..
6th	4 6th (4) (8.5/1 +29%) Astapor	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(4) Astapor 8.5/1, C&D winner. Four win from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Pontefract in July and can have his latest Thirsk run ignored (blindfold removed late and slowly away). Poor run last time but in good form on softish ground before that; could bounce back.
7th	2 7th (2) (8.5/1 -6%) Fortunate Star	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(2) Fortunate Star 8.5/1, Winner at Nottingham in May. Respectable third of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Up 10lb for easy win in May; fair efforts since; blinkers tried; yet to run on fast ground.
8th	6 8th (6) (4.5/1 +31%) Harry With Style	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(6) Harry With Style 4.5/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 6/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 6 days ago, nearest finish. Dead-heated at Yarmouth in June (5f, good to firm); creditable runs since; no easy task.

LTO Selection:

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

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

This could turn into a burn up with plenty in here wanting to be on or near the lead, which gives the in-form BOROUGH an advantage with his draw on the rail. Iain Jardine's charge should enjoy conditions and he can make it three wins in his last four starts, with Thursday's determined Beverley scorer Soul Seeker looking his main danger under a 5lb penalty. Fortunate Star is another who goes well on soft ground and must enter calculations, along with Albegone.

BOROUGH escapes a penalty for last week's Hamilton success and is taken to make it 3 wins in his last 4 starts. Soul Seeker is in similarly good form to the selection and is second choice ahead of Bryan Smart's High Opinion.

A competitive race can go to the in-form SOUL SEEKER who is one of the few runners who will be suited by the ground drying out.

16:45 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (6.5/1 +74%) Dream Deal	6.5 6.5/1(+74%)	(11) Dream Deal 6.5/1, Fifteenth of 19 in handicap (33/1) at York (5f, good) 23 days ago, slowly away. Had been a creditable second at Pontefract prior to that. Drawn wide. 0-11 but back down in grade today and ran well when second at Pontefract two starts ago.
2	3 2nd (3) (8.5/1 +23%) Woodlands Charm	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(3) Woodlands Charm 8.5/1, C&D winner. 28/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 26 days ago. Return to 6f should suit. Two-time C&D winner but she needs to bounce back from two below-par runs.
3	12 3rd (12) (5/1 +17%) Wade's Magic	5 5/1(+17%)	(12) Wade's Magic 5/1, Third to Quercus over C&D before resuming winning ways back here 13 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb for that narrow success. Another prominent showing likely. Won over C&D a fortnight ago and he's back up just 2lb; on the shortlist.
4	5 4th (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Giselles Izzy	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(5) Giselles Izzy 4.5/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. 3/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (6f, good) 44 days ago. One to consider. Progressive form the last twice and this 4yo filly is firmly in calculations.
5th	10 5th (10) (25/1 +24%) Noteable	25 25/1(+24%)	(10) Noteable 25/1, 33/1, last of 12 in handicap at Chester (5f, good) 52 days ago. Others are preferred. Well treated on last summer's form but down the field the last twice and is now 0-13.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 -43%) Lady Celia	10 10/1(-43%)	(6) Lady Celia 10/1, Just second outing for this yard when winning at Nottingham (5f, soft, 11/4) in July. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Ayr (5f, good) 14 days ago. Should be thereabouts. Has done well since joining this yard and remains well treated on old form; not ruled out.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 -40%) Redrosezorro	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Redrosezorro 14/1, Four-time C&D winner, the latest in May. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 40/1) 25 days ago. Bounce back needed. Well beaten at Carlisle/Doncaster the last twice but 8 wins here and can't be ruled out.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/1 +21%) Hurstwood	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Hurstwood 11/1, Latest win at Ripon in June. Bit below form seventh of 16 in handicap at York (6f, good, 40/1) 24 days ago. Won at Ripon in June but has good record there; 0-2 here and slow ground would be a worry.
9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 -100%) He's An Angel	80 80/1(-100%)	(9) He's An Angel 80/1, Modest form in 5f maiden/novice events last year. Off for 13 months ahead of this handicap debut. Watching brief the percentage call unless the betting speaks in his favour. 3yo who is one to watch in the betting on handicap debut but has a hefty absence to defy.
10th	4 10th (4) (12/1 +45%) Lezardrieux	12 12/1(+45%)	(4) Lezardrieux 12/1, Three-time C&D winner, the latest in May. Not at his best since and the outside stall could make life awkward here. Won over C&D in May but his form has gone the wrong way since; needs to get back on track.
11th	1 11th (1) (3/1 -20%) Quercus	3 3/1(-20%)	(1) Quercus 3/1, Front runner who is a five-time C&D winner, including twice last month. Ideally drawn to attack in stall 1. Taken to complete the hat-trick. In the form of his life & now a 5-time C&D winner following victories here the last twice.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to look past course specialist QUERCUS, who has won his last three attempts over this C&D, including victories on his last two starts, and softer ground conditions should not pose too much of an issue as he looks to strike again off a career-high mark. That may be at the main expense of recent C&D scorer Wade's Magic and the in-form Giselles Izzy, who is unproven on this ground.

QUERCUS has fared well with the draw and can defy the handicapper again and complete a C&D hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out C&D scorer Wade's Magic is second choice ahead of Lady Celia and Giselles Izzy.

Topweight QUERCUS (nap) has won over C&D the last twice to take his overall tally here to five, and he can land the hat-trick.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (8/1 +11%) Mutanaaseq	8 8/1(+11%)	(4) Mutanaaseq 8/1, Holding form well in recent months, bagging second C&D success of the campaign from stablemate Magical Effect in July. Shaped as if still in good form despite a poor start when fourth at Newcastle (6f) latest, keeping on. Should give another good account. Enjoying a consistent spell of form and won over C&D two starts ago; solid claims.
2	12 2nd (12) (5/1 +50%) Asmund	5 5/1(+50%)	(12) Asmund 5/1, Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 10/1) 5 days ago, not quicken only late on. Not out of things from this sort of mark. Back to form with good third at Beverley last Wednesday and he's a possible player.
3	8 3rd (8) (7.5/1 -7%) Langholm	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(8) Langholm 7.5/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 11/2) 13 days ago. Merits consideration. Plenty of good form here and was short-headed most recently; can make another bold bid.
4	13 4th (13) (8/1 +6%) Darbucks	8 8/1(+6%)	(13) Darbucks 8/1, Eased in weights and encouraging signs of late, twice making the frame in handicaps at Ayr (7.2f) last month. Underfoot conditions no problem and no surprise to see him thereabouts. Has run well to be placed at Ayr the last twice and has a chance.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -38%) Min Till	11 11/1(-38%)	(1) Min Till 11/1, Twice a winner at around 7f during second half of last year and best effort so far this term when fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 20 days ago. Lesser effort at Doncaster on Saturday but not handicapped out of this. Encouraging fourth at Beverley but well beaten at Doncaster on Saturday.
6th	11 6th (11) (5/1 +38%) Mr Strutter	5 5/1(+38%)	(11) Mr Strutter 5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in June. 9/4, creditable second of 10 in handicap back at that venue (1m) 23 days ago, conceding first run. Another in with a shout back on turf. Five-time course winner who has been in good form on Newcastle AW and is one to consider.
7th	15 7th (15) (18/1 -50%) Variety Island	18 18/1(-50%)	(15) Variety Island 18/1, Just the one win from 23 starts but twice went close on AW at Newcastle in June. Shade underwhelming when eighth of 14 on latest start at that venue 18 days ago but he's operating on a handy mark on balance. Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (AW) this summer but below par latest; 0-14 on turf.
8th	7 8th (7) (14/1 -17%) Obee Jo	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Obee Jo 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 6/1, bit below form 6½ lengths seventh of 12 to Mutanaaseq in handicap at this C&D (good) 26 days ago, compromising his chance with a very slow start. No forlorn hope. Four-time course winner but hasn't threatened over C&D the last twice.
9th	9 9th (9) (8.5/1 +23%) Magical Effect	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(9) Magical Effect 8.5/1, Veteran C&D winner. Creditable 2¼ lengths second of 12 to Mutanaaseq in handicap at this C&D (good, 17/2) 26 days ago, Softer ground no problem and he gets a handy 5 lb pull at the weights with his stablemate here. C&D winner who was runner-up over C&D last time and could be in the mix.
10th	5 10th (5) (8/1 +27%) Coaxing	8 8/1(+27%)	(5) Coaxing 8/1, C&D winner. Creditable 3 lengths third of 12 to Mutanaaseq in handicap at this C&D (good, 11/1) 26 days ago. Clearly in good heart at present but she still needs to prove herself as effective on ground softer than good. C&D winner who has been a fair third on both runs this summer and might not be far away.
11th	3 11th (3) (28/1 -12%) Gracelands Girl	28 28/1(-12%)	(3) Gracelands Girl 28/1, Fair filly who ran creditably on return/handicap debut at Newcastle (7f) in February. Not in same form when fifth of 7 in handicap here (6f) in April but this step back up in trip rates a likely plus back from another break. Could appreciate the step back up in trip but she's 0-10 and others are more compelling.
12th	2 12th (2) (80/1 -300%) Parys Mountain	80 80/1(-300%)	(2) Parys Mountain 80/1, Four-time C&D winner who ended last season with success at Redcar (1m, heavy) in November. However, well held both outings (3 months apart) so far this term. Four-time C&D winner but tailed off over C&D on both outings this season.
13th	10 13th (10) (18/1 -125%) Rain Cap	18 18/1(-125%)	(10) Rain Cap 18/1, 4-time course winner. Latest win here in July. Good second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Hamilton (6f, good) 32 days ago, running on. Good pace to aim at will aid his cause returned to this track/trip. Won over C&D last month then went close at Hamilton; he's on the shortlist.
14th	6 14th (6) (28/1 -40%) Global Humor	28 28/1(-40%)	(6) Global Humor 28/1, Tricky customer but he recorded back-to-back wins over 6f/7f at Ayr at the start of the summer. 4/1, seemed to find things happening too quickly when fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Won two in a row in May/June but not quite at the top of his game since.
15th	14 15th (14) (18/1 -50%) Camacho Star	18 18/1(-50%)	(14) Camacho Star 18/1, Winner at Redcar (1m, heavy) in April and went in again over C&D (good to firm) on penultimate start last month. However, failed to see his race out when eleventh of 13 at Ayr (1m) on latest outing 21 days ago and bounce back called for here. 2 wins this year; flopped last time but could still be ahead of h'capper if bouncing back.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A winner on this card last year over shorter, RAIN CAP looks like the one to be with here having scored over C&D on his penultimate start and run very well at Hamilton since. Course regular Mr Strutter is a key player against him, along with Langholm, whose losing streak dates back to May 2022 when triumphant over C&D but he only missed out by a short head over 6f here last time. Completing the shortlist are Coaxing, Darbucks and Magical Effect.

MAGICAL EFFECT is now firmly into the veteran stage but he did best of those up with the pace when runner-up behind stablemate Mutanaaseq over C&D 26 days ago and, with a 5 lb pull at the weights, he could be worth chancing to come out on top this time with forecast conditions holding no fears. Darbucks, Langholm and Mr Strutter head up the dangers. Aforementioned Mutanaaseq can't be ruled out either.

The in-form 8yo MUTANAASEQ can win over C&D for the third time this season. Langholm is feared most.
