14:10 – AJA Novice Flat Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap (For Riders With 3 Wins Or Fewer At Start Of Season)
Race Details: 1m 4f | Class 5 | Going: 8.4) (watering) (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep Class 5 by any stretch and, in truth, the market has probably latched onto the right pair. Made All and Palazzo Persico bring the most convincing recent form, and between them they set a fairly clear standard in a six-runner contest where several of the others arrive with plenty to prove. Made All shaped as though this sort of trip is well within range when placed last time, while Palazzo Persico has at least shown he can get his head in front this season. The rest are either out of form, lightly convincing at the trip, or hard to trust on recent evidence. In a small field like this, tactical positioning and who handles the amateur-rider element best may matter almost as much as bare ratings.
Top Selections
1. Made All – 11/10 with Bet365
Jockey: Miss Natasha Cookson | Trainer: Sam England | Form: 8-1053 | Rating: 58 | Topspeed: 40
Made All looks the solid one. He’s the highest-rated horse in the field, comes here off a respectable third, and his recent profile suggests he’s holding his form better than most of these. The win earlier in the sequence gives him the strongest current piece of substance, and there isn’t much lurking lower down the weights that screams major danger. Sam England’s runner doesn’t need to improve a ton to take this, just reproduce the level he has been running to lately. At 11/10 he’s no giveaway, but in a race lacking depth he’s hard to oppose and makes plenty of appeal as the percentage call.
Bet: WIN
2. Palazzo Persico – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Miss Grace Littmoden | Trainer: Tony Carroll | Form: 030015 | Rating: 57 | Topspeed: 47
Palazzo Persico is the obvious alternative and, in a race where only two places are on offer for each-way purposes, he’s still the one that makes most sense for that angle. His topspeed figure is the best in the line-up, and that recent win shows he retains enough ability to be competitive off this mark. The slight concern is that he was only fifth last time and can be a bit in-and-out, but Tony Carroll’s horses often pop up in this sort of modest handicap and this one has more recent substance than the outsiders. Available at 15/8, he’s short enough, but he still looks the likeliest to chase home the favourite.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple. Made All is the win bet because he brings the most reliable recent form and looks the most solid operator in the field. Palazzo Persico is the each-way option purely because this race appears to revolve around the front two, and he has the figures to go close again. If you want to fear one at a bigger price, On The Bubble is probably the least exposed of the rest.

14:40 – EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands C And D) (EBF Restricted Race Qualifier) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 8.4) (watering) (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly workable restricted novice rather than a deep one, and the obvious form sits right at the head of the market. South West brings the best rating in the field and arrives after shaping well in stronger company, while Mick’s The Boy has already shown enough speed to be a serious player around a sharp 5f like Catterick. Cheeky Chesca is exposed compared to a couple of these but has solid experience and a handy weight pull, so she should give her running again. Behind them, Kaiulani Spirit and Neverbeatdeswalker need to step forward, while the newcomers Prosperity Angel and Longshanks Luke add a bit of intrigue. In truth, though, this looks a race likely decided by the proven juveniles rather than hidden surprises.
Top Selections
1. South West – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Tudhope | Trainer: Richard Hughes | Form: 953 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 60
South West is the one with the standout profile. His form figures have improved with racing, and that latest third reads well enough in the context of a restricted novice at Catterick. An 82 rating puts him clear on the figures, and his 60 Topspeed says he already has the pace for a bare 5f. Richard Hughes tends to do well with these progressing juveniles and Daniel Tudhope is an eye-catching booking at this track. At 7/4 he is no giveaway, but he is the likeliest winner and looks hard to oppose if breaking cleanly and getting into a handy early position. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Cheeky Chesca – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: David Allan | Trainer: Tim Easterby | Form: 552237 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 56
Cheeky Chesca is not quite as sexy a profile as the principals, but she is battle-hardened and that counts for plenty in these juvenile races. She has been knocking around in decent company, her rating of 81 leaves her right in the mix, and the 56 Topspeed figure suggests she has enough natural zip for this assignment. The slight concern is whether she has more improvement left than South West or Mick’s The Boy, but she gets in with just 125 and should be doing her best work if this turns into a proper speed test from halfway. At 10/3 she makes more appeal as a solid place play than a win bet. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
South West is the straight win play and makes most appeal on the strength of his rating, progressive form and likely tactical speed. Cheeky Chesca is the each-way option in a 10-runner field, with her experience and low weight giving her a solid chance of making the frame. Mick’s The Boy is the obvious danger, especially if building on that runner-up effort from stall 1.

15:10 – racingtv.com/freetrial Nursery Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 8.4) (watering) (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This is only a four-runner nursery, but it is not quite the penalty kick the market might suggest. Mardy Bum heads the betting after a step forward to finish third last time, while Lady Dublin brings the best Topspeed figure in the field and has also already shown enough to think a race like this is well within reach. Sunrise At Dawn is less exposed than some and could improve now handicapping, whereas Showmethebubbles looks up against it on what has been shown so far despite a handy low draw and light weight. In a race lacking depth, raw pace over this sharp 5f and which of the principals handles the opening mark best should decide it. It is a small-field contest, but not an entirely straightforward one.
Top Selections
1. Lady Dublin – 9/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Harry Russell | Trainer: Ollie Pears | Form: 4463 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 72
Lady Dublin gets the vote because her profile looks a touch stronger than the market is giving her credit for. That latest third was a solid effort in the context of this modest little nursery, and the standout piece of evidence is the Topspeed figure of 72, comfortably the best on offer here. She also has the joint-best official rating in the field and represents a yard that knows how to place speedy juveniles. In a race where there is not much hiding place over 5f, that established pace and form count for plenty. Available at 9/4, she looks the value against a shorter-priced favourite who still has a bit to prove. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only four runners, this is a straight win-only play and Lady Dublin is the one to side with at the prices. She has the best speed figure and enough recent form to think she can outbattle Mardy Bum, who is the obvious danger after his latest third. Sunrise At Dawn is the possible improver if the handicap mark proves lenient.

15:40 – Le Veinard 2026. Racing And Info Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: 8.4) (watering) (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a sharp little 5f handicap rather than a deep one, with the three-year-olds taking on some battle-hardened older sprinters. Two Commanders is the obvious starting point after just three runs and he has the profile of a horse still ahead of the assessor, but this is a different test now he meets seasoned handicappers at Catterick on quick ground. Aberama Gold and The Good Biscuit bring the best established sprint form into the race, while Dream Deal arrives in better nick than plenty after a string of solid efforts. In a field of eight, track position and early speed will matter plenty, and there is enough pace on paper for this to be run properly. Tricky enough from a betting angle, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Two Commanders – 2/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Edward Bethell | Form: 312 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 62
He is short enough, but there are reasons for that. Two Commanders has done little wrong in three starts, winning his maiden before backing it up with a solid second, and an opening mark of 80 does not look overly harsh for a three-year-old who could easily have more to come at this trip. The inside draw in stall 1 is another plus around here if Connor Beasley can get him organised early. He is taking on older sprinters for the first time, which always asks a question, but this race lacks depth and the progressive one is often the right one in these midsummer dashes. At 2/1, he is the one they all have to beat. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Dream Deal – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: David Allan | Trainer: Tim Easterby | Form: -06122 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 70
Dream Deal makes plenty of each-way appeal because he is arriving here in proper form and his recent figures read better than most in this line-up. He got his head in front three starts back and has followed that with two runner-up efforts, suggesting he is holding his level well. That Topspeed mark of 70 is the best in the field and catches the eye in a race where only a few arrive with convincing recent substance. David Allan is a good booking for a sharp 5f around Catterick, and from stall 8 he should be able to stay out of trouble and attack. At 7/1, he looks the value alternative to the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Two Commanders is the win play because he is the unexposed one and may simply be better than this mark. For an each-way punt, Dream Deal looks solid at the prices given his current run of form and strong Topspeed figure. The obvious dangers are Aberama Gold, who remains competitive, and The Good Biscuit, who has the figures to get involved if things fall right.

16:10 – Try Racing TV For Free Now Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: 8.4) (watering) (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This is a small but quite interesting 7f handicap, with the 3yos Haaderr and Naval Light taking on a pair of seasoned older handicappers in Mudamer and Woodstock. In a four-runner race, tactics could be everything, especially around Catterick where things can happen quickly, but there is a fair bit to like about the unexposed younger pair. Haaderr arrives after signing off last term with figures of 221 and could easily have more to offer now switched into handicap company, while Naval Light got his head back in front last time and brings solid recent match practice. Mudamer is well treated on old form but hasn’t been finishing his races with much conviction lately, and Woodstock looks vulnerable for win purposes. It’s not a deep race, but it does revolve around whether Haaderr is better than this mark.
Top Selections
1. Haaderr – 11/10 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Tudhope | Trainer: Edward Bethell | Form: 221- | Rating: 92 | Topspeed: 68
Haaderr is the obvious one, but in a race lacking depth that is not a bad thing. He ended last season progressing nicely, with that 221 sequence suggesting he was learning fast and starting to put things together. An opening mark of 92 asks a question, but this yard places them well and Daniel Tudhope is exactly the sort you want in a tactical four-runner event. The older horses here are exposed enough, whereas Haaderr could easily still be ahead of the assessor. At around 11/10, he is short enough, but he still looks the most likely winner and the one with the best chance of improving past these. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a four-runner race: Haaderr is the win bet and nothing else. There is no each-way angle with only one place on offer. Naval Light looks the main danger after his recent win and could be the one to chase the selection home if building on that, while Mudamer is the older horse most capable of nicking a place if the pace collapses.

16:40 – Racing Again 22nd July Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 8.4) (watering) (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a perfectly ordinary Class 6 sprint rather than a deep one, but it is still competitive enough if the market leader underperforms. South Shore arrives seeking a hat-trick after back-to-back wins and is the obvious one to beat despite carrying top weight. Invincible Crown also comes here off a win and has figures that suggest he can make a race of it, while Lucius Aurelius has the raw speed figures to get involved if bouncing back from a below-par latest run. Albegone is the dependable old hand who keeps knocking on the door, and Irish Dancer has been running respectably without looking thrown in. In truth, this revolves around whether South Shore can keep progressing under his penalty, and I think he probably can.
Top Selections
1. South Shore – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Marco Ghiani | Trainer: Robert Cowell | Form: 645311 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 55
South Shore is the one with momentum, and in low-grade 5f handicaps that counts for plenty. Those last two wins suggest he has finally clicked, and although a mark of 71 asks a stiffer question, this is hardly a brutal race for the grade. Robert Cowell knows exactly how to place sprinters and Marco Ghiani is more than capable of delivering one late off a sharp pace. He does concede weight all round, but he is the only runner in here arriving with genuine forward thrust rather than just solid handicap form. At 15/8 he is short enough, but still hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
2. Albegone – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: David Allan | Trainer: Tim Easterby | Form: 052372 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 61
Albegone makes plenty of each-way appeal because he keeps running his race and looks sure to be thereabouts again. An 8yo he may be, but there is nothing wrong with his recent form and that latest second was another reminder that he remains very competitive from this sort of mark. The topspeed figure of 61 matches the best on offer in this field, which matters in a dash like this, and David Allan is a positive booking for a yard that does well with tough northern handicappers. He is not especially well treated, but at 11/2 he looks the value option against the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
South Shore is the straight win play, simply because he is the one coming here in winning form and may still be ahead of the assessor. For an each-way punt, Albegone appeals as the solid alternative in a race lacking depth. Invincible Crown and Lucius Aurelius are the obvious dangers if building on their better efforts, but the safest route is win on South Shore and each-way on Albegone.
