Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 -50%) Couldbeaweapon	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Couldbeaweapon 6/1, Won by 17l off a 6lb lower mark at Sedgefield in October and ran to form when second last time; best around 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground; generally consistent. Solid sequence; two wins in October; probably thereabouts but needs extra to win this.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +64%) Bridge Court	2 2/1(+64%)	(1) Bridge Court 2/1, Ran to form switched to fences in a new headgear combo when beaten 3 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective around 2m4f, acts on S, GS; more to come as a chaser. Best effort 12 days ago when second over C&D (good to soft) in the first-time cheekpieces.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 0%) Grandad's Cap	3 3/1(0%)	(2) Grandad's Cap 3/1, Produced a solid effort when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, possibly needing the run when fourth and beaten 21l in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time; effective at 3m on good ground but plenty more is required. Second favourite on handicap debut latest (3m); major improvement is needed; chase debut.
4	6 4th (6) (6/1 -71%) Bravethewaves	6 6/1(-71%)	(6) Bravethewaves 6/1, Back to his best and showed a good attitude when winning a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell last time; best around 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good ground; respected after a small rise. Inconsistent but won twice over fences last season and went in again on his latest start.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/1 +50%) Beat The Edge	7 7/1(+50%)	(7) Beat The Edge 7/1, Below form tried in a visor comfortably held in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time; effective up to 2m5f, acts on S, G; often finds little in finish. 8yo who is 2-36 over fences; hasn't fired on his last four starts; career-low mark.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -133%) Uncle Al	14 14/1(-133%)	(5) Uncle Al 14/1, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces landing a handicap by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time; best around 2m4f, acts on S, G; fair chance after a small rise. Chasing on last three outings, winning by a nose in first-time cheekpieces on latest.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (13/2 +13%) Mutual Respect	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(4) Mutual Respect 13/2, Travelled, ran to form when 12l third in a handicap chase at Wetherby most recent run; visor first time; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S, G; below last win mark, has a chance. This switch from cheekpieces to visor needs a positive response; another career-low mark.

12:18 Catterick (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Uncle Al and Bravethewaves arrive on the back of victories at Sedgefield and Southwell respectively. The latter makes most appeal of that pair with Ben Smith taking 6lb off his back, but it could be the turn of BRIDGE COURT. The addition of cheekpieces appeared to spark improvement in the six-year-old when runner-up over C&D and Sandy Thomson's charge is taken to build on that good effort by going one better.

Following an admirable display over C&D on his recent chase debut, BRIDGE COURT may go one better this time.

1	2 1st (2) (2/1 -23%) Kaka's Cousin	2 2/1(-23%)	(2) Kaka's Cousin 2/1, Promising effort when second beaten a short-head in a maiden point at Boulta latest; returning from long layoff; effective at 3m; joined a good yard and can have a say on rules debut. £160,000 buy after close 2nd in Irish point; interesting on stable/hurdles debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/8 +28%) Ballyeaston	1.625 13/8(+28%)	(1) Ballyeaston 13/8, Made mistakes but ran to form when 8 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f on good or good to soft; can do better when stepped up in trip. Irish point second who has been 2nd in a bumper and 3rd on both hurdle starts; contender.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/4 +17%) Centurion's Sister	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(6) Centurion's Sister 11/4, Improved when second beaten 3l in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh latest; effective around 2m, acts on S, GS and AW; more to come as a hurdler. Second in two bumpers and placed in all 3 hurdle runs; 2m3f should suit; worth considering.
4	4 4th (4) (50/1 -25%) Siege Of Acres	50 50/1(-25%)	(4) Siege Of Acres 50/1, Ran well up to a point and may have needed his first run since wind surgery when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last time; effective around 2m on soft ground; could improve in handicaps. Well beaten in 2 Irish points, a bumper and, after a wind op, a maiden hurdle; more needed.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -288%) Annie Mcgrath	33 33/1(-288%)	(5) Annie Mcgrath 33/1, Still in front when running out in a point at Tranwell latest; returning from long layoff; brings potential to rules and this isn't much of a race. 42,000 euros buy; ran out in a UK point in March; no easy task on rules debut.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (250/1 -150%) King Kodiak	250 250/1(-150%)	(3) King Kodiak 250/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced when needing the run in a novice hurdle at Carlisle last time; likely to prefer 2m4f or further over hurdles; faces a tough task here. Some promise in bumpers but tailed off last of 12 on only completed start over hurdles.

12:53 Catterick (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

The frustrating Centurion's Sister placed yet again when second at Musselburgh last month. She can have a say in proceedings as usual, but the less-exposed BALLYEASTON makes most appeal. Fergal O'Brien's charge faced tougher opposition when finishing third at Aintree and Newcastle last month and looks to have a leading chance in this company. Narrowly beaten between the flags, Kaka's Cousin cost 160,000 pounds and is one to note in this sphere.

Hurdling debutant KAKA'S COUSIN looked a decent prospect pointing in Ireland and is preferred to Centurion's Sister.

1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +0%) Supreme George	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) Supreme George 7/2, Improved after a wind op, landing a handicap by 6l off a 7lb lower mark at Ludlow last time; effective 2m on a sound surface; surely has more to offer over fences. Won at Ludlow on 2nd chase start (first run after wind op); a possible despite 7lb rise.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/6 +67%) Classical Sting	0.833333 5/6(+67%)	(3) Classical Sting 5/6, Improved switching to fences when landing a handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Kelso last time; effective around 2m, acts on S; more to come over fences. Improved on hurdles form when winning at Kelso on chase debut; up 6lb; strong contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/4 +31%) Galidam	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(1) Galidam 11/4, Ran well on chase debut when beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Effective around 2m and acts on soft ground. Needs improvement but that looks possible. Won claiming hurdle in France; sound third on chase debut at Wetherby latest; a possible.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (14/1 +0%) Conquer The Breeze	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Conquer The Breeze 14/1, Found ground too soft, race may have come a bit soon when fourth beaten 22l in a handicap chase at Sedgefield latest; effective at 2m on a sound surface; ground in his favour, can go well. Hexham winner in June; fair fourth next time, but below his best last twice; bit to prove.

13:28 Catterick (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow

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

Wind surgery seems to have worked the oracle for SUPREME GEORGE. He left his previous form behind when returning the convincing winner at Ludlow on his second start over fences, and Donald McCain's charge looks one to keep the right side of. A winner at Kelso on his return to the fray, Classical Sting also proved himself well suited to the larger obstacles. He rates the main danger, ahead of Powerofjet and Galidam.

The choice is CLASSICAL STING (nap), who improved on his hurdling form to get off the mark on his chase debut at Kelso last time.

2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +54%) Crystal Days	3 3/1(+54%)	(5) Crystal Days 3/1, Made too much use of up in trip on softer ground when fourth beaten 40l in a novice hurdle at Doncaster latest; effective 2m, likely to get further, acts on G; chance in this. Placed in good mares' maiden on hurdle debut; soft ground the excuse last time.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 -54%) Eastern Shores	10 10/1(-54%)	(6) Eastern Shores 10/1, From a yard that won this last year; improved but was never put into the race when 7 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon last time; a point winner who showed promise in 2m bumpers and acts on good ground; looks one for handicaps over hurdles. Improved form when placed at Huntingdon this month; can progress again; shortlisted.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 +0%) Klassy Pearl	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Klassy Pearl 12/1, Confirmed debut level when second, beaten 6l in a maiden at Monksgrange last time; returning from a long layoff; effective at 3m in points and open to marked improvement. Came second in two Irish points in March; market may guide before this rules debut.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/2 +17%) Azahara Palace	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(2) Azahara Palace 5/2, Scored comfortably, improved for debut experience when winning a novice hurdle at Hexham by 3l last time; effective 2m, acts on any; could progress over hurdles. Useful Flat racer; won heavy-ground hurdle this month; today's quicker surface will suit.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/1 +10%) Roarin' Success	9 9/1(+10%)	(9) Roarin' Success 9/1, Below form when held and hampered down the field in a handicap at Newbury last time; off a short break; effective up to 10f on the Flat and brings some potential to hurdles. Useful at her best on the Flat; sold for 10,000gns after two poor run; stable/hurdle debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (80/1 -142%) Berwick Law	80 80/1(-142%)	(4) Berwick Law 80/1, Made a modest debut in a hood when well beaten in a bumper at Ayr on her only start; needs to find plenty more now switched to hurdles. Made low-key debut when well-held fifth in heavy-ground Ayr bumper this month.

14:03 Catterick (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

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

Roarin' Success was useful on the Flat and if she takes to hurdling on her first start for Donald McCain, she could be the surprise package. However, NINNA COLLINA has won both starts this season when produced late on and although she has to give weight away, there is a chance she is better than this and will be seen in stronger events soon enough. No Tricks At All and Azahara Palace both look as if they will be better over further in time.

The pick is CRYSTAL DAYS, who may not have handled soft ground last time and has good claims if judged on her previous Uttoxeter third.

8th	1 8th (1) (8/1 +33%) Slaney Opera	8 8/1(+33%)	(1) Slaney Opera 8/1, Ran to debut form, up in trip, possibly not stay 18l third in a hunter chase at Stratford most recent run; effective at 3m-3m3f on sound surface; may improve handicapping for new yard.

14:38 Catterick (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

The last four winners have all carried 11st 2lb or more, pointing to the top half of the handicap, and I SEE THE SEA ticks plenty of boxes. A C&D winner by two lengths last time out when keeping on well on similar ground, he has only been put up 2lb, which seems unlikely to scupper his chances. Slaney Opera finished third in a decent hunter chase at Stratford when last seen and is hard to overlook in this grade. Redbridge Rambler is also considered.

In a low-grade event, the well-handicapped MERSEY STREET is taken to get off the mark over fences. Slaney Opera is next best.

15:13 Catterick (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Hajey won this in 2023 off a mark of 113 and as he races off 3lb lower after a Sedgefield fourth, he has to enter calculations. Gardener returns to hurdles after unseating over fences at Bangor and is more than capable off his current rating, but CAMARRATE might have the edge. A promising two-length second at Wetherby in October, he races off the same figure in this weaker contest.

The answer might be CARAMELO RAPIDO, who shaped quite well on his recent seasonal debut and will hopefully have come on for the run.

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.
