1:15 Haydock Racing Tips (10th June)

I'm sorry but I've bought a new laptop and somewhere or somehow I've lost all my stuff stored in my word documents, its nothing crucial apart from losing Saturdays blogs so the 3 sprints will be given a lot differently and a lot shorter than usual. 

HAYDOCK 1.15 

5F Listed class There's 4 known front running types and the 3yo Prince Of Pillo 6/1 could be the one to set the pace but it might need this run for fitness, Regional 9/2 might prefer a longer trip to show its absolute best and might be worth a small lay bet. Raasel is my 3rd top rated using a rating recorded in 2021 but hasn't been near that level since then and the same can apply to my 2nd top rated horse Mondammej. My money will be riding on KORKER 9/1 (EW) - who I call jackpot town after so many memorable wins - usually races in midfield or at the rear of the field before staying on strongly at the finish and with 4 front running types it could be the fast paced race this one likes to aim at and maybe an each way wager will pay dividends.

Lay bet: Regional -5pts

HAYDOCK 1.50 

6F Class 3 A big field of 14 for this sprint with just Mr Wagyu 10/3 known as a front running type and could do enough to make the frame but I'm not sure it can win this race but being the top weighted horse in theory it is the class horse in the race but I couldn't back it at such a short price. One I will look to lay is All The Kings Men 9/2 who may be better over further and finishes too late to win unlike when I visit https://www.bestcasinositesonline.com/real-money-casinos/. IIllusionist can struggle to stay this distance if there's a fast early pace but a 2021 rating makes it my 4th top rated. Music Society comes out 3rd best again using a 2021 rating and usually stays on at the business end over this distance, Lucky Man 14/1 is my 2nd top rated and is usually held up in the rear or in midfield before running on strongly at the finish and might be worth an each way wager while EMPEROR SPIRIT 16/1 (EW) is my top rated using a 2022 rating and has an even higher one from 2021 and it usually likes to track the leaders before staying on the stronger nearing the finish and at the price it has to be done as an each way wager.

CATTERICK 4.30 

5F Class 4 I hope all 8 runners take part so I can go with an each way bet in this dash, the main problem is that there is no known front running type in this race although at least half the field do like to track the leaders so I expect there will be a decent gallop over the minimum distance here. Muscika 9/1 and Mid Winster 5/1 both race as though further would suit them better so this race might not be run to suit them so might be worth laying if of value to do so. Ready Freddie Go is my 3rd top rated on overall figures and 2nd top on recent, 2022/23, ratings so could make the frame and might be worth an each way interest, Live In The Moment 13/8 comes out 2nd best using a 2021 rating but its best since then has been way way below that level so looks poor value in my eyes and might be worth risking with a lay bet. My money will be riding on LEODIS DREAM 11/1 (EW) who likes to track the leaders so can cover any tactical move in the race and if able to reproduce its best rating recorded at Haydock last year it would win this race with a bit to spare but the lack of known early pace does mean my stakes wont be at full strength but I think an each way wager ought to pay dividends.

2:30 Catterick Racing Tips (24th August)

CATTERICK 2.30 

A nice looking class 4 race with 10 contestants and one known front running type, I would possibly look to lay both Vintage Clarets and Spring Is Sprung but as they are both 3yo’s I'm never 100% sure as they could still improve without warning, Dark Shot can struggle to stay the distance is there's a fast early pace, Oso Rapido, Embour, Muscika, Impeller and Birkenhead all have pieces of form that would see them compete to make the frame but this race might fall into the lap of JORDAN ELECTRICS 9/1 (EW) who is a confirmed front runner and if allowed an easy lead, which could happen here unless something else changes from their usual racing tactics, and a repeat of its Hamilton rating would see it get back to winning ways and might even be worth backing each way. 

ABANDONED 

MUSSELBURGH 2.50 

A field of 9 runners with 3 that have been known to lead before, I will look to lay Koropick if its a single figure price as the trainer is 0-18 at this course and its last win was back in 2017, I might also lay the 3yo Primo who has only produced slow times over this distance, the 3 at the top pf the handicap are the known front running types but Abel Handy doesn't seem to want fast good to firm ground hence why its times are relatively slow, Canaria Prince is my 3rd top rated and could set the pace to the race so could be dangerous but I will be backing TANASOQ 13/2 who is versatile when it comes to its racing tactics and that does include leading and has a good positive jockey booking and if getting to the front then should prove more than hard to catch. 

Tanasoq 13/2 3rd -1pt 

Total -1pt 

CATTERICK 3.00 

Twelve runners but only one natural front running type in Hot Scoop but I doubt it can lead all the way for the victory as it needs to improve a good few spots time wise so maybe one to lay as could Wades Magic be as it doesn't seem to like the fast good to firm surfaces, Point Of Woods can find the distance too far on good to firm ground so another lay if value to do so, Billian is capable of recording a good speed figure but usually on flatter courses and hasn't been in good form lately, Stronsay recorded a good speed figure at Hamilton last year but hasn't been anywhere near that standard so far this year and it also has poor trainer stats of 1-48 at this course, Ginato hasn't been in good form lately but its best from 2021 would see it be competitive here, others that are capable of going well are Portelet Bay and Freedom Flyer but neither have been in great form while the top weighted RAIN CAP 10/3 has been in tremendous form winning 3 of its last 4 races and its shrewd trainer has found it another good opportunity to add to its win tally. 

ABANDONED 

LINGFIELD 3.40 

A field of 12 for this class 6 race on the artificial Polytrack surface where I can see 3 runners, Viewfromthestars, Sir Rodneyredblood and Cool Spirit, who have been known to lead before and latter pair are course and distance winners and either could possibly do enough from the front to make the frame, Sir Sedric seems to either prefer a longer distance or the Tapeta surface so might be of value to lay, Real Estate has won its last 2 races and is going for the hattrick here and comes out in 2nd top spot on my figures so could possibly win this race but I will be backing the top weighted BIG BARD 14/1 who recorded a rating at Chelmsford last year which would be good enough to win this race and has what looks a significantly positive jockey booking who has a 21% win ratio on the stables older horses and at the price it has to be backed each way.

LINGFIELD 3.30 

Class 5 race with 10 runners over 5 furlongs and 3 known front running types, if Khurumbi is a single figure price I will lay it as I'm not sure this surface will suit it and further might also be better for it, 2 of the possible pacesetters, Howzak and Red Walls, have been in poor form lately, the former could do best of the pair but usually gives an indication when a return to form is imminent Micks Spirit is my 4th top rated just 1lb below Saaheq in 3rd top spot so either or both could make the frame, I will be hoping that WINGS OF A DOVE 7/1 the other possible pacesetter can lead from stall 2 and gain control of the rails and once hitting the front could prove hard to catch. 

Wings Of A Dove 9/1 3rd -1pt

CATTERICK 4.55 

A 10 runner race over 5 furlongs in a class 6 affair and 4 front running types in the field, Golden Hal and Astapor should ensure the early gallop is a good one although the latter races as though further would suit it better and might be worth laying if of value to do so, Red Allure is my 3rd top rated and likes to track the leaders, I have joint top rated horses, DAPPER MAN 15/2 in stall 5 and KING CRIMSON 4/1 in stall 7 and both are front running types so whichever one wins the battle could be the one to go on for the win but i honestly cannot split them and will be backing them both.

WINDSOR 5.20 

An 11 runner class 6 race over 5 furlongs with 4 known front running types amongst them, one horse I will be looking to lay is Bernard Speirpoint who seems to be a much better horse when racing over further, if Thegreyvtrain is a single figure price its another I would think about laying as its not running well lately despite being at the front in the early stages of a race and that's in slow run races which I doubt this one will be, We’re Reunited is my 3rd top rated and likes to stay on at the finish and further might suit it better but it could still make the frame here, FORESEEABLE FUTURE 11/4 is one of the likely leaders and being my 2nd top rated it could prove hard to catch if getting to the front and with the apprentice jockeys claim it only misses top spot by 1lb behind SPARKED 15/2 who usually tracks the leaders before staying on strongly at the finish as its so close between the pair of them I will be backing them both.

WINDSOR 6.50 

Class 4 race with 9 runners over 5 furlongs with 4 front running types in the field so it should be a true run race, the top weight Treacherous hasn't any form over today's distance but it might get outpaced here before staying on too late nearing the finish but if others falter it could possibly make the frame, any others that could be lays all look likely to be double figure prices and represent poor value, Son And Sannie who is my 4th top rated could do best of those coming from off the pace especially if the top 3 all go off too fast and fade nearing the finish, Coronation Cottage who is my 3rd top rated does its best form and ratings in lower class races so may be outclassed at this level, Just That Lord is my 2nd top rated and recorded its best speed figure over today's course and distance last year while my top rated LA ROCA DEL FUEGO 4/1 also recorded its best rating over this course and distance but it was recorded this year and if getting the fractions right could get back to winning ways in this race and i like the booking of the apprentice jockey who takes 5lb off its weight and has a one win from two rides for the stable.

1:55 Catterick Racing Tips (20th July)

CATTERICK 1.55 

A class 6 race with 12 entered but not one of them is known as a front running type which always worries me from the start and means my stakes will be kept in check, if there's good early gallop then Mews House 15/2, Morty 14/1 and Billian 9/1 could struggle to stay the distance although the latter does come out in 2nd top spot on my figures but it best time was recorded on flatter course than today's course which is quite undulating, I will be hoping the 3yo LIV LUCKY 4/1 can go one better than when finishing 2nd last time out over this distance at Hamilton and is my top rated for this albeit that that's only by 2lbs but the trainer does have a good record with horses at this course. 

Liv Lucky 5/1 8th -1pt 

Total -1pt 

SOUTHWELL 4.05 

For a class 3 race this one is quite dire, there is a couple of front running types who happen to be my 3rd and 2nd top rated using just times recorded at this course since the new Tapeta surface was laid down and they are Rebel Redemption 20/1 who hasn't been in great for lately and Twilight Madness 9/2 who runs quite consistently well enough to make the frame but finds it hard to win a race but either or both could make the frame and be each way prospects, I'm not sure if I can find anything of value to lay in this race, I will be pinning my hopes on BADRI 7/1 who is a hold up type and this race could be run to suit it, the trainer Scott Dixon has four running in this race, which one they think will win is hard to judge but they do have the front running Rebel Redemption but they might be setting it up a strong finishing which should suit where my money will be riding.

1:00 Brighton Racing Tips (13th July)

BRIGHTON 1.00 

A 5 runner race with 2 known front running types, Wiley Post (even money) is forecast to be the six to five favourite but I will look to lay this one as it doesn't seem to appreciate fast good to firm ground and might have been flattered when it won its last race which was a slow run affair so might get outpaced here, T Maxie and Haveoneyerself are my joint 3rd top rated with the latter being one of the known front running types in the race, the 11yo Shamshon can still run a decent race but without winning lately so I will be backing VANDAD 4/1 who could set the pace to the race and if getting to the front should prove hard to catch.

CATTERICK 4.05 

Just 5 runners again here with Abate 11/8 looking the most likely leader but it would want to set a slightly slower pace than usual to ensure it stayed the distance but I think it will be collared inside the final furlong so maybe worth laying especially if its the six to five price forecast on the early tissue prices, Oso Rapide is my 4th top rated just 2lbs below Embour in 3rd top spot but they are a few spots behind Natural Path in 2nd top spot which leaves me with the horse I will be backing the 3yo BAY BREEZE 11/2 who seems to love the good to firm ground and usually tracks the leaders and then stay on the stronger at the finish.

LINGFIELD (AW) 8.30 

Wow the biggest field of the day of the sprints I'm interested in, either/or Stay Smart and Bowling Russian could set the pace to this race and the latter could do best of them being my 3rd top rated, the two 3yo’s Libertus 4/1 and Thisismydream 6/1 both run as though further would suit them better but the likely fast early pace here might suit them so I couldn't lay either of the confidently, I will look to lay Porfin 10/3 who is a better horse over shorter distances, I will be taking a bit of a punt in this race by siding with BIG IMPACT 6/1 who is returning after a break of over 270 days so might be ring rusty but if able to reproduce its best rating from Chelmsford last year it would be winning this race a shade cosily, maybe the betting will be the best guide so I will wait until I've seen the betting.

3:04 Catterick Racing Tips (28th May)

CATTERICK 3.04 

A pity but there is only 7 runners and none known as front running types, yes something has got to lead but at what sort of pace, if its a slow early gallop and becomes a 2 furlong dash then anything could win the race or more that one decides to change its usual racing tactics and there's a very fast early pace which will happen here I've no idea, if there's a decent early pace then i think any one of 3 could win the race, Rebel At Dawn is my top rated on just 2022 speed figures but that is only good enough for 3rd top spot on my overall figures I have joint top rated horses in this race Leodis Dream and SOUL SEEKER 12/1 the former hasn't been in good form recently but did record a fast time at Windsor last year, the latter is being ridden by a 7lb claiming apprentice and if worth their claim it will tilt things in its favour and might be the value call in the race.

CHELMSFORD 4.10 

Looking at the early tissue prices Aramis Grey 9/2 is forecast to be the 9/4 favourite but I think it might be outclassed at this level and represents poor value, the top weight Tiger Crusade 5/1 won at Kempton but it was a relatively slow time and may need further so maybe another one to lay if of value to do so, I expect If You Dare to be the one to set the pace and Aramis Grey and Revolutionise will make sure its kept up to its work and the latter comes out 3rd top on my figures so could do enough to make the frame but that time was recorded back in 2019 so I'm not sure if its still capable of reproducing that rating, i will be hoping that the hold up type FULL AUTHORITY 6/1 can find a clear run when it starts to run on from the rear of the field.

I would expect the pace to be set by Redrosezorro 5/1 and it could do enough to make the frame but I doubt it can win the race but never say never one I will look to lay is Stalingrad 6/1 who might find the distance a bit too far for it and it looks a weak finishing type until its dropped into a lower class race, there is 3 others that would set the pace if nothing else wants to and are allowed to set their own slower early pace, The Armed Man is my 3rd top rated and one of those possible pacesetters so it could feasibly make the frame, Good Earth 10/1 and Drish Hero 20/1 might struggle to stay the distance so will be lays if they are single figure prices at the off any others which i think will struggle are all forecast to be double figure prices, Sfumato is my 2nd top rated using a course and distance speed figure recorded last year but I will be investing on LADY NECTAR 16/1 (EW) who is usually held up for a late run and a repeat of its best speed figure from 2021 at Thirsk would see it back to winning ways but at the price it has to be given as an each way punt.

Ten runners with just Michael's Choice being known to front run and is my 4th top rated so could possibly do enough to make the frame but I doubt it can win this race, I will look to lay Strike 11/4 who might need further to be fully effective and the trainer is 1-61 at this course and the horse is still a maiden after 7 runs, if SWISS PRIDE 14/1 (EW) can reproduce its best rating from Goodwood last year it would win this race a shade cosily but it is 0-14 on grass but has made the frame in 5 of those races it has won on the AW before so it can win races and the jockey has won 3-9 on the AW tracks for this stable but has only ridden once for them on grass so I cannot let it run at the price without an each way wager on it.

WOLVERHAMPTON 2.40 

A class five race over the five furlong dash distance with 10 runners and four known front runners which is always helpful, I will look to lay Street Life 8/1 who may need this run for fitness and maybe better on the Polytrack surface and You're Cool 5/1 won last time out in a class 6 race and it does it best in lower class races, Qaaraat 10/3 finished 2nd last time out but that was in a class 6 selling race and another that may struggle now up in class, Secretfact, Grandfather Tom and Dark Side Prince have been known to lead before but I am hoping that RED WALLS 9/1 can get to the front and if doing so it could prove hard to catch and might be of value especially if an each way price.

I can see 3 runners that have been known to lead before so it should be a true run race, I can see 4 runners that will be big prices but I'm not sure I can see anything that I can lay that will represent value, Stronsay has got a decent speed figure and it finished 2nd last time out so could be a danger but the trainer is 1-38 at this course and the jockey is 0-8 for the stable which is a bit off-putting, I will be having a small bet on USTATH 9/2 who is the one I think will set the pace to the race and if leading it could prove hard to catch.

This at first glance is a nice looking class 4 race, there's only 6 runners but worse than that there's no known pacesetters in the race, Alebegone 5/2 might be outclassed at this level as might the bottom weight Rory 13/2 who also hasn't been in good form lately, John Kirkup might prefer some cut in the ground to show its best, The Thin Blue Line 5/2 might prefer further to show its best so this race might not be run to suit it, Rose Bandit is my 2nd top rated so could go well but my money will be riding on PRIMO'S COMET 5/1 who doesn't want the going to be too fast so it should be ideal and the jockey has a decent record for the stable.

NOTTINGHAM 3.00 

For a class 2 race this one doesn't thrill me, at least there is some early types in the race so I shouldn't complain as it should be a true run affair, the top weight Lezardeux 9/2 might be worth taking on with a lay bet as it can struggle to stay this distance at times and this race might emphasise its lack of stamina for the sixth furlong with 3 known front runners in the race, Jordan Electrics 25/1 is my 3rd top rated might do best of those running to the fore here and might be worth an each way interest at the price, my 2nd top rated is Second Collection 12/1 who did its best at Chester and this course is nothing like that one so I'm not sure if it can reproduce its best time here my money will be riding on WORLD OF WINDHOVEN 12/1 who won two runs ago at Yarmouth where it produced a fast time, fast enough to make it my top rated, its next run was at Newmarket where it finished sixth of six and the trainer reported that the horse didn't like the undulations on that course so its now switched back to a more level flat course so this time wont have any excuses and the trainer is in good form with 4 winners from 11 runners in the last two weeks.

CATTERICK 4.20 Div II

The 1st division of this race has 8 of the 11 runners either being a 3yo or a 4yo and there wasn't enough data to analyse the race, this division isn't great but I might have found a nugget amongst the dirt, looking at the tissue prices the bottom 5 in the handicap will be big prices so will not be of value to lay and I have negatives against everyone of them but I would maybe lay Qaaraat 7/1 and Jakacan 8/1 if they stay in single figure prices but I think they will drift out before the off, I could look to lay Dan De Light 8/1 who looks better over a shorter distance but I have to admit there's no known front running types in this race so maybe a lay isn't a good idea but if that's so then Emjaytwentythree 9/2 may be worth a lay as it might need further and is still a maiden after 13 runs but to lay either might be foolish in fact to lay anything might be downright stupid, Mr Trevor 4/1 is my 3rd top rated using a time from this year at Redcar but wont be an each way price but STRONSAY 9/1 might well be one to consider for and each way bet, admittedly it hasn't been in form lately but its best time from 2020 at Hamilton would actually make it my top rated but the jockeys 0-22 record for the stable and the stables 0-33 at this course do put me off but it might be worth a small investment, which leaves me with GINATO 2/1 who is my 2nd top rated but I expect this one will be the favourite but 1 win from 13 runs doesn't fill me with confidence but does seem the safest option in this race.

4:10 Catterick Racing Tips (7th September)

CATTERICK 4.10

MILITIA a possible pacesetter but would need to improve time wise to win this race and the trainers win ratio is only 8% at this course. 

BUY ME BACK the jockey is 0-4 and the trainers strike-rate with their older runners is a poor 5% and has had 1 winner from 19 runners in the last 2 weeks.

MACHREE has poorish trainer/jockey stats and the trainer is also 0-17 for the last 2 weeks while puts me off its chances.

ASTROZONE has poor trainer stats and its best time from the last 2 years leaves it well short of whats needed to win this class 4 race. 

DAPPER MAN a possible pacesetter and my top rated on just 2021 times at this level and its best speed figure from Hamilton makes it my top rated on my overall figures. 

DARK SHOT has been known to lead but hasn't done so lately but its best time from 2020 at Leicester would make it my 2nd top rated but it could struggle to lead here which could hamper its chance of winning. 

SPANISH ANGEL has poorish jockey stats and time wise would need to improve to win this race but could go well if able to reproduce its best 2020 speed figure.

THRILLA IN MANILLA has poorish trainer/jockey stats but it is capable of making the frame if running to its best speed figure rating. 

ECONOMIC CRISIS the trainer is 1-63 at this course and the jockey 0-17 for the stable and maybe doesn't like good to firm ground.

AUCKLAND LODGE this one might be outclassed at this level but is capable of recording a fast time in the right grade.

SUMMARY: With 6 of the 10 runners having been known to lead I think this race should be won from the front as long as they don't go off too fast from the off, I am going to side with DAPPER MAN 4/1 who admittedly hasn't the best of the draw in stall 8 but it ought to be away fast enough to lead or at least gain a good early prominent position and then a reproduction of its best Hamilton time would see it get back to winning ways here.

3:50 Lingfield Racing Tips (16th August)

LINGFIELD 3.50 

An 8 runner race where half the field have been known to lead before so it should be a fast and furious dash and I think the race could be won from the front as long as they don't go mad trying to lead and spend too much of their energy and tire nearing the finish, firstly I will look to lay Sir Rodneyredblood, if its a single figure price, who may need further, Seneca Chief or Katelli could be the ones to prosper if they do go off too fast, I will be backing both GREEN DOOR 9/1 (EW) who recorded its best time in 2020 but hasn't run over this course and distance since then, it has been off the track for over 300 days but has won before after a break but just in case it does need the run I will also be backing THEGREYVTRAIN 14/1 (EW) who recorded its best time this year over this course and distance but the jockeys 0-9 record doesn't fill me with confidence so my stakes will be kept low and at the prices available, and as long as all 8 runners take part, then it has to be 2 each way wagers.

With no known front runners in this race it might not be run to suit *Sara's Hope 7/1 so I will lay it if a single figure price, Bellevarde is capable of producing a fast time but its best form comes in lower class races which puts me off, I will be splitting my stakes between 2 runners, FREE LOVE 5/1 is my top rated on just 2021 times which is always a positive but I do have THE DALEY EXPRESS 7/1 rated higher but this ones best time comes from 2019 but its best time from 2021 would put it in 2nd top spot so they hold the top positions between them but without a known pacesetter my stakes will be kept low.

CATTERICK 1.50 

A strange race, the bottom 4 in the handicap are all out of form on recent runs but I expect they will all be double figure prices, I think the next 2 in the handicap, Qaaraat and Alex Gracie can both can struggle to stay the sixth furlong if there's a fast early pace and I would also add Alsvinder to the list of those that may not stay the distance, I expect Gullane One to set a fast early pace as that's its only hope of winning but I still doubt it can do so but never say never, Redzone has won over this distance and this course and distance but they were all relatively slow run affairs and maybe another to add to my lay list, Lincoln Gamble is my 3rd top rated and usually races in midfield before trying to stay on at the finish, Jungle Inthebungle comes out 2nd top using a time from Pontefract last year but its last win was way back in 2018 but may need this run for fitness having been of the courses for over 200 days, if *STRONSAY 9/1 runs here after running at Ayr on Monday this will be the one carrying my money, on Monday it was close to the front but the pace was a slow one and then it got outpaced when the other leaders kicked and then stayed on again nearing the finish but I think this race will have a faster early pace which will suit it better.

CATTERICK 3.20 

There is only 6 runners but 4 of them have been known to lead, I can only see Denzils Laughing 9/1 as one to lay as its best times even when winning were on the slow side of things and could therefore get outpaced in this race and could be found easier chances in the future, Militia and Machree are possible pacesetters and the latter is my 3rd top rated, MUTABAAHY 7/2 is my top rated using just 2021 times and has a time 3lbs higher from 2020 but that would only make it my 2nd top rated on overall figures and could be the one to prosper if the leaders go off too fast and fade but of the front runners I've got DARK SHOT 11/4 in top spot using a time it recorded at Leicester last year and I will be backing them both to cover the angles.

CATTERICK 3.35

The early pace is likely to be set by Redrosezorro and this one could go well if allowed an easy lead but maybe not enough to hold for the win, I would look to lay Seas Of Elzaam 8/1 if it is a single figure price as it may need further to shine and Praxeology 9/2 who doesn't appear to like real fast good to firm going and with a fast early pace can struggle to stay the distance, Music Society would be top rated if I used its best time from 2019 but hasn't been near that level lately, North Wind and Freedom have more recent, 2020/21, times that would make them competitive in this race but my money will be riding on PEARL OF QATAR 6/1 who usually likes to track the leaders and then run on strongly at the finish and the jockey booking makes me think that connections are expecting it to get back to winning ways here. 

Pearl Of Qatar 6/1 4th -1pt

GOODWOOD 6.30 

A very competitive race for a class 5 affair but I would look to lay Siberian Night who may need further on fast ground, Sir Rodneyredblood could be the one to set the pace and could prove troublesome if allowed an easy lead and it could even do enough to lead all the way but i have 6 other horses that i also think could win this race and if I stuck with my top rating then Amathus and Under Curfew would be the selections but both have poor jockey stats which puts me off a little, Storm Melody, Physics and Iconic Knight are others that also could be in the mix at the finish so this race might be best left alone but if pushed I would go with MADRINHO 10/1 who has a decent speed figure, so looks the value call in the race,but it is the jockey booking that catches my eye with a 31% win ratio for the stable so I am hoping an each way wager will pay dividends.

BATH 7.40 

A class 4 dash with 9 runners but surprisingly only 1 known front runner amongst them, Many A Star 13/2 might be worth laying as it might need further to show its best and this race might not be run to suit it, the 3yo Asadjumeirah 7/2 is 2nd top rated on 2021 times but drops to 4th on overall figures but could be able to improve further, Zulu Zander has a time from 2020 that makes it my 2nd top rated on all my figures but the jockeys 0-14 on the stables older horses makes me think this one has another target in mind, the top weight Beyond Equal is my 3rd top rated on all figures sing a 2020 time from Windsor but I will be backing UNION ROSE 20/1 who is 3rd top on just 2021 times but its best from 2020 makes it my top rated and it has good, 17%, trainer stats but the jockey has a 25% win ratio for the stable so I'm hoping they are good pointers, it looks the value call in this race and at the price has to be given as an each way punt.

DONCASTER 7.53 

There is a couple of front runners in this race so I doubt either can win this race, I would look to lay Treble Treble 7/1 who has only slow times and doesn't really seem to like good to firm ground, I wouldn't put anyone off backing Blackheath, Big Les or Athollblair Boy who all have pieces of form that could see them being concerned in the finish but I am hoping that GHATHANFAR 11/2 from stall 11 can track a front runner housed next door in stall 10 and gain an advantageous early position from which to attack at the business end of the race and the jockey has a decent 15% win ratio on the stables older horses.

CATTERICK 3.25 

A 9 runner race where Signore Piccolo could lead if nothing else wanted to but this distance can be too far for it so it would try to set a slowish pace but I think Aleef will be the one to make sure there is a good early pace but this one wouldn't want the going to be too fast, Tukhoom a hold up type is my 4th top rated, Zumurud sits in 3rd spot and it likes to track the leaders, I've got 1lb between my top 2 ratings so will be back both MEDICINE JACK 7/2 in 2nd top spot and ROUND THE ISLAND 4/1 who is in top spot.

This isn't a great apprentice jockeys race, I can see 3 who might set the pace so it should be a true run affair, I had to go back to 2019 for Red Stripes best turf time but hasn't shown much in its latest runs, if HARROGATE 2/1 sets the pace and can repeat its best time from last year it could lead all the way but its run this year was way below that level when it finished 2nd but beaten 4 lengths in a relatively slow run race, I have BOUDICA BAY 4/1 just 1lb below top spot and the trainer has a good record at this course with a 25% win ratio, so I will be backing both of them in this race.

There should be plenty of early pace to this race as all 3 known front runners are in my top four ratings,and times of that top four of the eight runners are a bit higher than the other half, Benefit Street a possible pacesetter comes out 4th top rated and could make the frame Inaam in 3rd top spot is the one that could do best of those coming from off the pace and could even possibly win if they cut each others throats vying for the lead, Alsvinder comes out 2nd best on my figures and is only 2lbs below SWISS PRIDE 5/2 who is my top rated and if getting to the front it could prove hard to catch.

Only 7 runners here but there's 2 natural front runners and another that can front run if needs be, Super Julius a possible pacesetter is my 4th top rated, Saaheq comes out 3rd best and usually runs on at the finish so could be the one to prosper if they do go off too fast, Hey Ho Lets Go usually likes to track the leaders and then stay on at the finish and comes out 2nd best on my figures but I will be siding with BOOM THE GROOM 7/1 who is the one that's very versatile when it comes to racing tactics and compared to last year this is a drop in class and if on its “a” game the price is generous.

CATTERICK 1.45 

NOT ON YOUR NELLIE 5/1 may not prefer the going to be too fast and won at Ripon on good ground and that time would make it my top rated. 

CAPTAIN CORCORAN 3/1 this one only has slow times over this distance and looks as though further would suit it better and at the price i would have a small lay bet. 

USTATH 9/1 one of five horses that has been known to lead but hasn't shown much time wise recently and its last win was in 2018 so another i would lay if it stays at a single figure price.

HARROGATE 8/1 the 2nd possible pacesetter and comes out 2nd top on recent, 2020/21, times and 3rd top overall but is 0-7 on turf. 

ALSVINDER 11/4 is number 3 that could lead and its best recent time would make it 3rd top but slips to 4th best on overall speed figures. 

BLACKCURRANT 10/1 the 4th possible leader has only slow times over this distance on turf and hasn't made the frame from its 5 turf runs, so maybe best when running on the AW tracks.

CARLOVIAN 12/1 this one races as though it needs a slower surface or maybe a longer distance and it could be it needs both and I think it will be an outsider in this race. 

SUWAAN 8/1 the 5th and final front runner but this one has been in bad form on its last few runs and hasn't won a race since 2017, so I will lay it at the price. 

SUMMARY: With 5 possible front runners in this apprentice riders handicap it could play into the hands of one of the 3 runners coming from off the pace at the finish, if pushed I think that Harrogate or Alsvinder could do best of those racing from the front but they could go off too fast and fade nearing the finish, Carlovian and Captain Corcoran have both been known to stay on at the finish over this distance and maybe need further which leaves me with the top weight NOT ON YOUR NELLIE 5/1 who doesn't want it to be really firm going, which I doubt it will be, and if able to reproduce its best speed figure from Ripon last year would see it winning with a bit in hand but, there is nearly always a but, it hasn't run since last September and therefore may need this run for fitness but I cannot find anything in the race to back so I will go with a smallish win bet.

I think its a shame there's only 7 runners but hey ho there's nothing I can do about it, I would look to lay (Fox Hill + Mutabaahy + Jill Rose) Red Pike comes out 3rd top on it best 2019 time, Longroom likes to track the leaders and comes out 2nd top overall but I am hoping DAPPER MAN 14/1 can lead in this race and if getting to the front and reproducing its best Newmarket time from 2019 would have a few spots in hand and win cosily, I would love to put this up as an each-way bet but cannot with only 2 places up for grabs.

BEVERLEY 2.30 

This is a race I would normally leave well alone, its a very poor class 6 affair with a lot of either 3yo’s or lightly races horses but the topweight QAARAAT 8/1 has become well handicapped recently and in this race, it's carrying the topweight against inferior horses and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get back to winning ways and the price is a little more than I was expecting. 

Qaaraat 8/1 5th (-1pt)

CATTERICK 3.15 

A race where there's quite a few lightly raced sorts so my stakes won't be at full tilt maybe it's not really a race to be betting in and it's only after looking at the tissue prices have I decided to write up this race, Carlovian and Indian Pursuit should make sure there's a good early pace and either could do enough to make the frame, B Fifty Two could go well but doesn't like really fast going, the one to catch my eye is, of course, top-rated who is well weighted on its best tie from Doncaster last year but this one does want genuine good to firm ground to show its best so if the going is ideal I will back LUCKY BEGGAR 7/1.

I love my AW racing but this is a dire affair, of the 11 runners I could probably lay 7 of them and maybe the 3yo bottom-weight maybe should be added to the list, Bernies Boy is my 3rd top-rated but that's using a 2018 time and looks to be on a downward spiral but could get placed here as the race is that bad, Cappananty Con is 2nd top-rated on 2020 times and could go well but I will be backing TOMSHALFBROTHER 10/3 who is the top rate on this year's speed figures and the trainer has a 27% win ratio with their older horses on this course.

7:00 Catterick Racing Tips & Lay Bets (22nd July)

CATTERICK 7.00 

LUCKY BEGGAR this horse seems to need truly good to firm ground to show its best, it's my top rated and racing against inferior animals it could get back to winning ways here.

QAARAAT has only slow times recently and going back to its best from 2018 it would still need to improve to win this race.

GUARDIA SVIZZERA has only slow times in 2019/20 and its 2018 best would leave it a little short of winning this race and maybe a longer trip would suit it better.

B FIFTY TWO may need to be held up to get this distance, especially on good to firm going if there's a fast early pace but could possibly make the frame. 

LINCOLN GAMBLE one of six 3-year-olds in this race and this one might be a better horse when tried over a longer distance but never say never with these young horses.

LADY MONICA has a time from Newmarket in 2019 that's not good enough to win this race, it usually races in midfield but not for me in this race.

GOSSIP this 3-year-old has one distance run on good to firm ground where it didn't really show much but it did stay on at the finish so a longer trip might help.

OUTTAKE exactly the opposite for this 3-year-old, it has looked over 6 furlongs as it doesn't stay the trip so a drop back to 5 furlongs might help its cause.

CARLOVIAN this is the horse that I think will set the early pace using its best time from 2019 it comes out 3rd best on my figures so could make the frame from the front.

ALEX GRACIE this 3-year-old hasn't run on turf before so I'm not sure what to expect but early indications are that it might be better dropped down in trip.

LADY NECTAR this 3-year-old hasn't any form at this distance and will may need a shorter trip to shine.

MIDNITE BRIDE has only a slow time at this distance but this race is this 3-year-olds first handicap run so it might have had its talents hidden in its 3 previous runs. 

CONCLUSION: With half the field being 3-year-olds this isn't a race to go in all guns blazing trying to shoot down the bookie, if Carlovian my 3rd top-rated sets the right pace then it could make the frame and then the rest might struggle to get involved apart from my top two, 2nd top is B Fifty Two is capable of doing well here timewise but may struggle if there's a really fast early pace so I will be siding with the topweight LUCKY BEGGAR 15/2 who likes to track the leaders and then stay on strongly at the finish and taking on inferior opposition it looks to have been found the ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways.

4:00 Catterick Racing Tips (10th September)

CATTERICK 4.00 Div1 (8.4) 

Quite a poor class 6 race so any stakes will be kept low, B Fifty Two won last time out in a veterans race and its at the top of the handicap here so it could go well again in this race, Kodicat is another that could go well but this one can struggle to stay 6 furlongs if there's a fast early pace so this fairly stiffish course might not suit it too well, I will have a small wager on the bottom weight CARLOVIAN 12/1 just because it could be the one to set the pace in this race and if leading could prove hard to catch, if the price is big enough I will obviously advise going with an each-way bet. 

Carlovian 12/1 1st 

CATTERICK 4.35 Div2 

Not sure this division is better or worse, Mambila and Indian Pursuit have been known to lead before and if either is allowed an easy lead they could do better than they ought especially so if the latter is allowed to dictate the pace, Mr Greenlight and Mansfield could be in the mix if they can reproduce their best but my money will be riding on the top-weighted ROSE MARMARA 5/1 who I will admit hasn't been in the best of form so far this year is on a losing run of 10 races but I do think it has only once had its ideal conditions and it did get placed in that race but this horse has been in class 4 races this year so I'm hoping the drop in class here will see it bounce back to winning ways. 

Rose Marmara 5/1 2nd 

CATTERICK 5.10 

The 3rd class 6 race of the day but this 5 furlong affair looks much better than the 2 previous races here, I've got joint 4th top-rated horses in Rego Park lady and Young Tiger who both can be held up or track the leaders and their best times have come this year as has Lydiate Lady who comes out 2nd top-rated with Pearl Noir in top spot, Pearl Noir’s best overall time would make it 3rd best and Lydiate Lady would be 2nd top overall, the one my money will be riding on is SEAMSTER 8/1 who is being ridden by a good 5lb claiming apprentice and that allowance would move it into 2nd top spot on 2019 times but its best time at Nottingham in 2018 is quite a few spots higher then add on the fact its front runner in a race where doesn't look an abundance of early speed it could possibly be able to lead all the way here and as usual if the price is big enough do it as an each-way investment.

Seamster 12/1 6th

4:10 Catterick Racing Tips (3rd September)

CATTERICK 4.10 (8.4) 

A hard race to analyse with 6 having good chances of winning if going back to 2018 and 2017 for some of their best times and maybe Orions Bow, Highland Acclaim and Zylan are on a downward spiral, Extrasolar is well weighted on its best time but is on a losing streak of 11 which leaves me with the 2 I will be backing, firstly INDIAN PURSUIT 9/1 who is the only known frontrunning sort in the race and if given an easy lead could prove hard to catch and I have only B FIFTY TWO 5/1 rated higher but this one can find the trip a touch too far if the early pace is really fast but I will be backing them both to cover the angles but my stakes won't be at full strength. 

B Fifty Two 11/2 1ST 
Indian Pursuit 9/1 4th


GOODWOOD 5.00 (7.3)

A poor turnout of just 5 runners and Silca Mistress could be the one to set the pace but would need to improve timewise and hasn't been in top form this year, Sweet Pursuit and Wotadoll could be staying on at the finish but my money will be riding on the 3-year-old CHITRA 6/1 who likes to track the leaders and then stay on the stronger at the finish. 

Chitra 6/1 2nd 

CATTERICK 5.40 (8.4) 

A competitive race but the lack of known pace puts me off and I won't be betting very heavily in this race, Funkadelic is my 3rd top-rated but the trainers 0-21 record here puts me off this one, Kibaar would be in the mix on its best time from Thirsk in 2018 but my money, well a small amount of it, will be riding on LONGROOM 11/1 who has a time this year that would leave it needing to find a few pounds but a 2018 time at Ripon makes it my top-rated and maybe worth a small each-way punt. 

Longroom 11/1 4th 

SALISBURY 6.30 (8.2) 

Back to 5 runners and 1 known frontrunner in Emaraaty Ana but its best time from 2018 leaves it with something to find and I'm a bit surprised its the 6/4 favourite, Ice Age on a losing run of 13 and Baron Bolt are my joint 2nd top-rated again on times from 2018 while my top rated horse did record its best time this year at Ascot so FOXTROT LADY 13/8 will be burdened by my money.

Foxtrot Lady 13/8 3rd
