(3) Bubbles Wonky 5/2, Promising Lope De Vega colt who came in fourth of 13 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good, 22/1) on debut 14 days ago, running on. Can do better. Well in the mix.
Promising fourth on recent debut at Redcar and there can be optimism he will improve.

(7) Mercury Day 4/6, Time Test filly who shaped well when a debut fourth of 17 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 9/2) 21 days ago. That form rates the pick here so she's the one to beat with more to come.

Tailed off at big odds on both starts (7f/1m).
LTO Selection:

13:45 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MERCURY DAY wasn't beaten far into fourth on her debut at Newmarket and, with normal improvement, she could be the one to beat. The main threat is Goldingreatstore, who showed plenty of ability when third on his first outing at Pontefract and can put it up to the selection. Bubbles Wonky should take a step forward from his fourth at Redcar and completes the shortlist.

Ralph Beckett's Time Test filly MERCURY DAY made a promsing start when fourth in a big-field Newmarket maiden and looks the way to go here. Redcar-fourth Bubbles Wonky also has better days ahead of him and rates the chief threat, with Goldingreatstore and Last Applause both in the mix too in a fair juvenile novice.

The Ralph Beckett-trained filly MERCURY DAY holds strong form claims having been fourth of 17 on her recent debut at Newmarket.

16/1(-78%)
(6) Mattella 16/1, Mattmu filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Canaria Prince. Dam 5f-6f winner who stayed 7f out of winning half-sister to useful sprinter Angus Newz. Market can prove a good guide for this newcomer.
Half-sister to two 5f winners for the yard but may be best watched on this belated debut.

(8) Button Bay 6/1, 6,500 gns yearling, Camacho filly. Closely related to 1m/9f winner Bumblebee and half-sister to 8.5f/9f winner Grey Spirit. Betting can prove a good indicator.
6,500gns y'ling; makes debut with Newmarket yard in good form; betting may be informative.

Finished last at 125-1 on debut in January 2022 and absent since.
LTO Selection:

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

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

LUDDEN LASS finished third behind a well-bred John & Thady Gosden newcomer at Southwell last time, which signalled she has taken a step forward as that effort came after a 122-day break. Therefore, the three-year-old should be able to shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking. The main danger is Hamlet, who was victorious on debut and should give it a good go even with a 7lb penalty to shoulder, while any market support for Button Bay should also be noted.

LUDDEN LASS returned from a lay-off with an encouraging Southwell third and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark in a novice where a few have question marks against them. Southwell-scorer Hamlet is feared most under his penalty ahead of the lightly-raced Sixties Chic.

Preference is for LUDDEN LASS, who has run well to be placed over 7f the last twice and could benefit from this drop back to 6f.

Oso Rapido

3/1(+0%)
(1) Oso Rapido 3/1, C&D winner. Good second of 13 in handicap at York (7f, heavy) 8 days ago, just holding on (first past the post but subsequently disqualified for edging left). Expected to be bang there despite a 3 lb rise.
First past the post at York last Friday (demoted due to interference); key player up 3lb.

(5) Music Society 5/1, C&D winner. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (6f, soft, 18/1) 21 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022.
Something to prove regarding current form but his record at this track catches the eye.

Ripon brings out the best in him; remains to be seen how he fares on his first visit here.

Broken Spear

3.333333
10/3(+39%)
(2) Broken Spear 10/3, Latest win at Leicester in May. Respectable 3¾ lengths third of 8 to Ramiro in handicap at Chester (7f, heavy, 12/1) 21 days ago. Needs consideirng.
Back to form when third at Chester last time and he relishes testing ground.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Catterick Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MUSCIKA bounced back to form in good style with a three-length success at Epsom in August and he was raised 6lb for that effort, which keeps him feasibly treated on his previous form. Therefore, the nine-year-old can make it a double. Broken Spear wasn't disgraced in third over 7f at Chester last month and he could appreciate the return to the trip he last won over in May. Of the remainder, Oso Rapido makes the most appeal.

C&D winner OSO RAPIDO lost the race in the stewards' room when demoted to runner-up at York last time so is fancied to gain compensation in this tight-knit sprint. In-form pair Broken Spear and Ramiro can both have a say too and chase home the selection in that order.

Having made his headway perhaps quicker than ideal prior to fading into fifth at Ayr recently, the in-form RAMIRO earns the vote.

11/2(-22%)
(1) Vintage Clarets 11/2, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 5/1, career best when winning 19-runner handicap at York (5f, soft) 28 days ago by neck from Wen Moon. Can go well again despite a 3 lb rise with that form working out well.
Runner-up in this 12 months ago and prevailed in a big field at York latest; strong claims.

Glorious Angel

Went close over 7f on Monday but the drop back to 5f isn't an obvious plus.

Count D'orsay

(10) Count D'orsay 16/1, C&D winner but he saw his run of good form come to an end when eighth of 12 to Wen Moon in handicap at York (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Type to return to form.
Below par last time but in good form previously and he has a positive record in this race.

(3) Manila Scouse 10/3, Latest win at Chepstow in August. 11/4, respectable fourth of 9 to Never Dark in handicap at Haydock (5f, soft) 21 days ago. This C&D scorer needs considering.
Not quite at his best last time but has had a very good season and could be in the mix.

(8) Copper Knight 18/1, Latest win at Pontefract in July. 14/1, below form sixth of 12 to Wen Moon in handicap at York (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Sort to bounce back.
Not at the top of his game the last twice but on a competitive mark and not discounted.

3yo who has thrived at York this autumn and could still have more to offer.

9/1(-29%)
(7) Never Dark 9/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in September. Below form fifth of 12 to Wen Moon in handicap at York (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort.
Only 5th behind Wen Moon at Haydock latest but not ruled out in view of previous good form.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Catterick Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

VINTAGE CLARETS was a gutsy winner over 5f at York last month and a repeat of that effort would make him tough to beat. Richard Fahey's charge finished a neck in front of the reopposing Wen Moon, who has subsequently franked that form by coming out and going one better over 5f on the Knavesmire. Glorious Angel runs off the same mark as her narrow defeat over 7f at Musselburgh and joins Count D'Orsay on the shortlist.

WEN MOON got back to winning ways at York last time out and is weighted to go close again despite taking a 6 lb rise here. Vintage Clarets also arrives on the back of a recent success at the Knavesmire and is feared most. Manila Scouse, Count d'Orsay and Glorious Angel all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

Last year's runner-up VINTAGE CLARETS prevailed narrowly from Wen Moon in a big field at York last time and is taken to follow up.

Now operating from career-high mark but sound claims nevertheless.

Soundly beaten elsewhere the last twice but four C&D wins this year and could bounce back.

0-12 but went very close at Pontefract recently and has run well on soft/heavy in the past.

(5) Ugo Gregory 13/2, Latest win at Haydock (7f) in August and twice finished runner up in handicaps at Chester/Beverley before a lesser effort at York (7f, heavy) 8 days ago, slowly into stride and never in the mix after halfway. Remains 5 lb above last winning mark.
Well beaten at York last Friday but runner-up twice in a row prior to that; not discounted.
LTO Selection:

16:20 Catterick Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

QUEST FOR FUN was only just denied in a deeper contest than this over 7f at York last month and he could be tough to beat in these calmer waters. Tim Easterby's runner has been raised 4lb in the ratings for that effort but another bold bid looks assured. Legal Reform is feared most raised just 1lb for his three-quarters-of-a-length second over 7f at Chester last time, while better can be expected from Capital Guarantee.

A 3-time winner earlier this year, LEGAL REFORM returned from a short break with another fine effort when runner-up on yard debut at Chester last month and with conditions holding no fears, he can make a bold bid to maintain his 100% record over this C&D. Quest For Fun ran a cracker himself when just touched off at York recently and he's feared, whilst Mutanaaseq could dispel a couple of lesser runs now returned to this venue.

Heavy-ground C&D winner LEGAL REFORM (nap) was a good second on his stable debut at Chester three weeks ago and can go one better.

Pretty consistent in defeat this year, close second at Carlisle (1m3f) penultimate start.
LTO Selection:

16:55 Catterick Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Valley Of Flowers completed her hat-trick at Newcastle eight days ago and, though respected, this will require a career-best performance. FLASH BARDOT has been largely consistent this season and gained a deserved victory at Newbury last month. George Bass negates most of the 4lb rise incurred for that success and she is fancied to follow up. Others to note include Dark Jedi and Matchless.

VALLEY OF FLOWERS has thrived in recent weeks, bringing up the hat-trick (all under Jo Mason) with any amount to spare over further at Newcastle 8 days ago. With the drop back in trip holding no fears (C&D winner), she can make a bold bid to bring up the 4-timer. Flash Bardot rates the chief threat, ahead of Dark Jedi.

Opposing Valley Of Flowers flies in the face of three easy wins but FLASH BARDOT took very well to soft ground at Newbury.

(2) Can Can Girl 13/2, 16/5, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Ripon (16f, soft) 21 days ago. It's now fifteen runs since her last win in 2022, though.
Placed most starts this term; worry is the lack of impact in her four races on soft ground.

7/2(+50%)
(4) Ebony Maw 7/2, 10/1, won 9-runner handicap at Ayr (13.1f, heavy) 9 days ago. Needs considering desite taking a 2 lb rise in the weights.
1m5f with heavy ground at Ayr nine days ago saw him register his second win from 27 races.

14/1(-250%)
(1) Skye Breeze 14/1, Resumed with 1m4f win at Newcastle and has posted good efforts since, fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f). Off 6 months but still not taken lightly with few miles still on the clock.
Off since March and has more to prove on turf; it's also a new trip; check the betting.

9/2(+55%)
(8) Sugarpiehoneybunch 9/2, Course winner who shaped as if needing the run after six months off when tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 28/1) 8 days ago. Very much one to consider now despite being 2 lb out of the handicap.
Very interesting if judged on her 1m4f win on heavy going here in April.

18/1(-13%)
(7) Crazy Crackers 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (8f) 52 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for.
Moving up from 1m for this second handicap is a leap in the dark; tongue tied first time.

9/2(+25%)
(3) The Dancing Poet 9/2, 4-time course winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (12.1f, soft) 17 days ago. Can give another good account.
Four 1m4f wins here; goes well on soft and some 1m6f form also puts him in the picture.

(6) Ae Fond Kiss 11/2, Respectable second of 6 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, heavy, 9/1) 21 days ago. Possibilities.
1m6f on heavy going at Chester on latest outing and came 2nd of six but she was beaten 15l.

17:30 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

EBONY MAW was finally able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when winning at Ayr nine days ago. With that confidence-boosting success under his belt, Ewan Whillans' charge can shrug off a subsequent 2lb rise and double up. Can Can Girl drops in class following a good second at Ripon and must enter calculations, while The Dancing Poet appeals most of the remainder.

An open handicap so at the likely odds it is worth siding with SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH to build on her recent Newcastle tenth after an absence and bag a second course success off a handy-looking mark. Skye Breeze also returns from a spell off the track but Ed Bethell's low-mileage 4-y-o merits consideration along with course-specialist The Dancing Poet and Ayr-scorer Ebony Maw.

Recent heavy-ground winner Ebony Maw has a big shout. Watch out also for SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH, who won on heavy here in April.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
