14:20 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -50%) Woobay	3 3/1(-50%)	(1) Woobay 3/1, Good second of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Has been knocking on the door and she's a big player at this level. Consistent; pleasing run at Hamilton (6f) last time; should be thereabouts if replicating..
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 +50%) John Kirkup	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(3) John Kirkup 5/2, Twenty eight runs since last win in 2022. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 6/1) 5 days ago. Cut down late over C&D (good) in August; soft ground suits, so could feasibly have a say..
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -71%) Triple Jaye	12 12/1(-71%)	(5) Triple Jaye 12/1, Only really given her running once this term, tenth of 20 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. This does represent a drop in grade, at least. Downhill since scoring at Ayr (5f; from 9lb higher) in September 2022; soft ground?.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 +44%) Rajmeister	9 9/1(+44%)	(4) Rajmeister 9/1, Latest win at Redcar in May. Visored for first time, bit below form ninth of 20 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft, 33/1) 13 days ago, slowly away. Back in his grade here. Ayr effort (ninth of 20; first-time visor) more encouraging; 2lb above last winning mark..
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 -22%) Lola's Moment	11 11/1(-22%)	(9) Lola's Moment 11/1, Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 22/1) 9 days ago, faring best of those held up. Can give a good account. 15-race maiden; no further progress since finishing runner-up over C&D in August.
6th	8 6th (8) (6/1 +45%) Monsieur Fantaisie	6 6/1(+45%)	(8) Monsieur Fantaisie 6/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, firm). Off 112 days but he's in excellent hands. 1-25; sole win at Chelmsford (6f); caught close home in this last year; market can guide..
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 -33%) Gatwick Kitten	12 12/1(-33%)	(2) Gatwick Kitten 12/1, Three wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in August. 11/2, last of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Needs to cast that run aside. Somewhat underwhelming since scoring at Yarmouth (6f Cl6; from a 4lb lower mark) in August.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +14%) Golden Gal	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Golden Gal 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in July. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 8/1) 38 days ago. Patchy profile; no issue with track, trip or ground though & remains on a competitive mark.
9th	7 9th (7) (10/1 -100%) Noble Captain	10 10/1(-100%)	(7) Noble Captain 10/1, 11/2, good third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces added to tongue tie tackling 5f for the first time. Placed on three occasions on the AW in recent weeks, incl at Newcastle (6f); turf prowess?.

LTO Selection:

14:20 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

NOBLE CAPTAIN has been running to a consistent level on the all-weather in recent starts. Katie Scott's unexposed three-year-old is fitted with first-time cheekpieces today and, should they bring about any further improvement, he might be the answer now back on the grass. Rajmeister is only 2lb higher than for May's Redcar success and must enter calculations, along with Woobay, who hit the woodwork at Hamilton nine days ago.

WOOBAY has been threatening to come good for a while and a repeat of her runner-up effort at Hamilton last week may enable her to go one place better. Lola's Moment shaped quite well on the AW last time and is a threat, with Noble Captain another to consider trying 5f for the first time.

The vote goes to WOOBAY who was arguably a shade unlucky at Hamilton last time, so could make amends.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +0%) Crack The Kode	7 7/1(+0%)	(4) Crack The Kode 7/1, Course winner. Winner here in August. 2/1, last of 8 in nursery at Thirsk (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Testing ground over 6f a possible excuse latest; no surprise if he gets back on track..
2	8 2nd (8) (7/2 +50%) Louella	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(8) Louella 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, good second of 9 in nursery at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 54 days ago. Back down in trip. Not ruled out. Improved latest but both 3lb rise and return to this trip give her questions to answer..
3	9 3rd (9) (9/2 +10%) Lotting's Lass	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(9) Lotting's Lass 9/2, 33/1, career best when winning 12-runner nursery at Southwell (5f) 6 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so she's a big player under a 6 lb penalty. Sprang a 33-1 surprise last week (5f, AW); further progress is needed but that's possible..
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -33%) Moyola	12 12/1(-33%)	(5) Moyola 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in nursery at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Can give a good account. Gelded since last seen; drops 4lb; may be capable of better after just five starts..
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 +8%) Jungle Jean	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Jungle Jean 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Must improve. Worth a try over 5f on nursery debut and may be able to improve in this sphere..
6th	7 6th (7) (15/2 -7%) Blufferonthebus	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(7) Blufferonthebus 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, good fourth of 7 in maiden at this course (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Much respected on her handicap debut. Has shown more on last two runs; enters nurseries needing improvement to break her duck..
7th	2 7th (2) (9/2 -80%) Scoops Ahoy	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(2) Scoops Ahoy 9/2, 9/2, career best when winning 5-runner nursery at Chelmsford City (5f) 20 days ago, just holding on. Can go well again. Came out on top in a blanket finish at Chelmsford latest; up 2lb; now has to back that up..
8th	6 8th (6) (9/2 +31%) Zaphea	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(6) Zaphea 9/2, Winner at Musselburgh in September. 4 lengths eighth of 12 to Lotting's Lass in nursery at Southwell (5f, 4/1) 6 days ago. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. 5f winner (good to soft); weakened out of it latest; up 4lb; more needed..

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.

LOUELLA was no match for a progressive rival over 7f at Thirsk in August. Her pedigree would suggest she ought to have no problem with a drop in trip and, from just 3lb higher, the Invincible Army filly could open her account. Recent Chelmsford scorer Scoops Ahoy can mount another serious challenge, while market support for handicap debutant Jungle Jean should be noted.

A tight-knit nursery but John Quinn's filly LOTTING'S LASS looks the way to go under a 6 lb penalty for her convincing breakthrough success at Southwell only six days ago. Scoops Ahoy is feared most on the back of his Chelmsford victory, ahead of handicap debutant Blufferonthebus.

Kevin Ryan's gelding CRACK THE KODE won here on good to soft before finding it too testing at Thirsk. He is taken to get back on track.

15:20 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (15/2 -7%) One More Bottle	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(4) One More Bottle 15/2, Foaled February 3. Mukhadram gelding. Brother to 7f/1m winner Alotabottle and half-brother to several winners, including 5f winners Triple Jaye and Smokey. Dam ran once. Notable newcomer on breeding. Sixth foal from a once-raced dam; brother to the 7f-1m winner Alotabottle (RPR 89)..
1	6 1st (6) (2/1 -14%) Last Applause	2 2/1(-14%)	(6) Last Applause 2/1, Once-raced maiden. Third of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 66/1) on debut 15 days ago. Could do better and should get competitive again. Commendable third on Newcastle debut (6f, 66-1) a fortnight ago; extra yardage should suit.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/4 +69%) Nominal Event	2.75 11/4(+69%)	(8) Nominal Event 11/4, Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Debut was promising and it's much too soon to be writing her off. Failed to replicate Chester effort when in action at Hamilton last week; first go at 7f..
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 -82%) Ribble Radiant	2 2/1(-82%)	(2) Ribble Radiant 2/1, Won 9-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 14/1) on debut. Off 115 days. Likely to improve and can make it 2-2 on her return. Picked up nicely to score on Beverley debut (7.5f) in June; off since but is respected..
4	3 4th (3) (11/2 +45%) Dain Ma Nut In	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(3) Dain Ma Nut In 11/2, Foaled May 17. €26,000 yearling, €8,000 2-y-o, Phoenix of Spain gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, sister to smart winner up to 7f Windfast. Bred to have speed and worthy of a market check. Second foal from 5f winner (RPR 77); trainer is not noted for 2yo winners..
5th	7 5th (7) (20/1 +50%) Hope Joanna	20 20/1(+50%)	(7) Hope Joanna 20/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, last of 8 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good) on debut 55 days ago. Will have to prove an entirely different proposition second time out. Always behind on debut at Brighton (7f; 22-1) two months ago; major improvement required..
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 +24%) The Crafty Mole	50 50/1(+24%)	(5) The Crafty Mole 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in minor event (40/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Struggled to make any impact on either start; safer to look elsewhere for the solution..
7th	1 7th (1) (125/1 -25%) Factorforfurniture	125 125/1(-25%)	(1) Factorforfurniture 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in minor event (150/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ronald Thompson. Well beaten on both starts to date; best watched on first start for Ollie Pears..

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.

Ribble Radiant struck on her debut at Beverley in June and, though respected, she has an absence to overcome and will need more under the penalty. With that in mind, the vote goes to LAST APPLAUSE. The daughter of Acclamation hit the frame over 6f at Newcastle first time out, but she can be more potent over this longer trip. Kevin Ryan often does well in these types of contests and his charge, One More Bottle, must enter calculations on his racecourse bow.

RIBBLE RADIANT finished to good effect when making a successful debut at Beverley 115 days ago and the form has proved solid, so she's worth a chance to maintain her unbeaten record for all that the absence is a slight concern. Last Applause looks a big threat after a promising start and newcomer One More Bottle is one to note on pedigree.

The returning Beverley scorer RIBBLE RADIANT could prove capable of defying the penalty. Last Applause is next best.

15:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/5 +20%) Ice Max	1.2 6/5(+20%)	(3) Ice Max 6/5, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 22/1, out of depth when 13¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Dancing Gemini in listed race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Shortlist material. Improvement remains possible and with course form a plus, he's worthy of respect.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 -25%) Bellarchi	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) Bellarchi 5/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year, latest at Hamilton in September. Stiff task when 4½ lengths eighth of 9 to Prime Art in Firth of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, good, 40/1) 11 days ago. Respected. Triple sprint winner who is up 2lb and in trip for return to nursery level; more needed..
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 +11%) Noo Point	3.333333 10/3(+11%)	(2) Noo Point 10/3, Winner at Chepstow in June. 7/2, creditable second of 8 in minor event at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Improved form at Epsom latest; has it to prove on slower ground but remains of interest..
4	6 4th (6) (4/1 -45%) Charged Up	4 4/1(-45%)	(6) Charged Up 4/1, Winner at Musselburgh in July. Ran creditably when third of 11 in nursery (3/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, every chance when bumped over 1f out. In the mix. Marginal career best over 1m at Thirsk latest; drops 1lb and back in trip; not ruled out..
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 +12%) Empire Of Light	22 22/1(+12%)	(5) Empire Of Light 22/1, Winner at Newmarket in June. Seventh of 10 on nursery debut at Yarmouth (6f, soft, 33/1) 13 days ago. Seems to be going the wrong way and hopes pinned on a first-time visor and/or a step up in trip working the oracle. 6f winner; well beaten on last three starts but first-time visor may help.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ICE MAX shed his maiden tag over C&D on his penultimate start before being well held in the Flying Scotsman at Doncaster last month, but this is a much easier assignment and he can defy an opening mark of 80. Noo Point filled the runner-up spot in a novice event at Epsom last time and has to be considered on his nursery bow, while Empire Of Light could improve for the application of a visor for the first time.

Karl Burke is having an outstanding season with his juveniles and ICE MAX is fancied to get back to winning ways on handicap debut having been found out in listed company at Doncaster last month. Bellarchi is another taking a drop in grade so she could well emerge as the main danger, ahead of Charged Up.

The suggestion is ICE MAX (nap), who returns to the scene of his win and drops back to realistic company. He could have more to come.

1	2 1st (2) (10/3 -11%) Easter Icon	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(2) Easter Icon 10/3, C&D winner in August. 9/2, rare below-par effort when 10¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Tarbat Ness in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 33 days ago. Can make presence felt. C&D winner in August (from 2lb lower); beaten 11l by Tarbat Ness last time; soft ground?.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/4 +39%) Tarbat Ness	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(4) Tarbat Ness 11/4, Winner at Ffos Las in September. 4/1, respectable fourth of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Not out of things. Soft-ground Ffos Las winner (2m) penultimate; is closely matched with Yasmin From York..
3	8 3rd (8) (5/1 +23%) Sugar Candie	5 5/1(+23%)	(8) Sugar Candie 5/1, Again ran creditably from just out of the handicap when 4 lengths third of 10 to Tarbat Ness in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, heavy, 14/1) 33 days ago. Maiden (0-10); better in blinkers; third to Tarbat Ness at Ffos Las last month; a possible.
4	3 4th (3) (11/4 +21%) Yasmin From York	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(3) Yasmin From York 11/4, C&D winner. 11/1, third of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago, running on. The booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye and she makes more appeal than most back at this venue. Dual C&D winner (good to firm); sits on last winning mark, so she'd have to merit respect..
5th	12 5th (12) (15/2 -7%) A Day To Dream	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(12) A Day To Dream 15/2, 12/1, ran up to best stepped up to 2m when sixth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (good) just over 5 weeks ago. Each-way claims with a repeat. Successful on seasonal reappearance at Thirsk (1m4f Cl 6, soft) in April; stamina at 2m?.
6th	10 6th (10) (150/1 -50%) Coeur De Coeurs	150 150/1(-50%)	(10) Coeur De Coeurs 150/1, Fared no better on first outing since leaving Jedd O'Keeffe after 15 months off when last of 10 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good, 66/1) 15 days ago. Tailed off on recent stable debut at Redcar (1m6f); isn't the solution..
7th	11 7th (11) (150/1 -127%) Archive	150 150/1(-127%)	(11) Archive 150/1, 14/1, made an inauspicious return to chasing at Hexham (15.6f, good) back in June, tailed off when unseated rider fourth. Significantly up in trip and can only be watched back on the level. Poor form over jumps earlier in the year, and hasn't won on the Flat since April 2019..
8th	5 8th (5) (10/1 -122%) Toscan Genius	10 10/1(-122%)	(5) Toscan Genius 10/1, Winner at Newcastle in September. 13/8, seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 15 days ago. Up in trip. This is just his third start on turf and could well have more to offer. Newcastle winner (12.5f, Cl 6) penultimate start; beaten favourite next time; up in trip..
9th	6 9th (6) (25/1 +11%) Jamih	25 25/1(+11%)	(6) Jamih 25/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Visored for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Redcar (14f, good) 15 days ago. Struggling for form at present so best watched. Course winner (1m4f); out of form in recent starts & an easing mark isn't enough to tempt..
10th	9 10th (9) (66/1 +0%) Misscarlett	66 66/1(+0%)	(9) Misscarlett 66/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. 16/1, ran a shocker back on the Flat when last of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (21.6f, good to soft) back in April. Best watched back down in trip. Toiled on return to Flat at Pontefract (2m5f) in April and absent since; best watched..
11th	1 11th (1) (40/1 -21%) Fly Awhile Johnny	40 40/1(-21%)	(1) Fly Awhile Johnny 40/1, 80/1, well-held third of 4 in minor event at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. No joy in three starts for this trainer and beaten 28l at Hamilton latest; handicap debut..

LTO Selection:

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

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

YASMIN FROM YORK had Tarbat Ness (fourth) over a length behind when third over 2m1f at Pontefract last month and the seven-year-old has been left on the same rating. She has proven to be more than capable at this level and could be the one to beat today. The is in solid form at present and he should go well once again, while Milltown Lily makes the most appeal of the remainder after her second at Carlisle and she goes off the same mark.

YASMIN FROM YORK scored twice over C&D last year and having dropped to her last winning mark, she gets the vote to regain the winning thread with the booking of Hollie Doyle catching the eye. The main danger could emerge from Easter Icon, who needs to leave a rare below-par effort behind at Ffos Las last month, with Toscan Genius and A Day To Dream rounding off the shortlist.

A chance is taken that easy ground won't prove a barrier to success to the Catterick specialist YASMIN FROM YORK.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Poor form except her second start, when showing minor promise at Yarmouth; more needed..

LTO Selection:

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

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

Compensation could await WADE'S MAGIC, who has been knocking on the door over C&D of late. Tim Easterby's gelding races off the same mark as his recent second here and holds the most compelling claims. Autumn Flight posted one of his better efforts when finishing a close-up third at Pontefract last week and is feared most on this quick turnaround off a 2lb lower rating. White Umbrella has been in fair form on the all-weather and completes the shortlist.

GARIFULLINA has few miles on the clock and caught the eye back from a 4-month break at Redcar last month. She makes fair appeal. Autumn Flight and Wade's Magic can also make their presence felt.

A weak contest where the suggestion is WADE'S MAGIC, who has conditions to suit, a handy draw and goes well at this track.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

TARRAFF won with plenty to spare when gaining a breakthrough success on her handicap debut at Leicester last month and the three-year-old filly is fancied to shrug off a 6lb rise in the ratings to strike again. Valley Of Flowers travelled with more verve on her recent Ayr triumph and isn't taken lightly off 5lb higher in this contest, while Richard P Smith could unlock some untapped potential now upped to 1m4f and the son of Belardo is another to consider.

This is tougher than the race VALLEY OF FLOWERS won at Ayr but she has a host of good C&D efforts to her name and is chanced to go in again raised 5 lb. Don't Look Back, Ring of Beara and Richard P Smith are all dangers.

The filly TARRAFF has the potential to do better and, with the stable's runners in good form, she can back up her Leicester success.
