Catterick 4.25
By UK Flat / AW (Northern)
NORTHERN - Catterick 4.25 Handicap Class 4 - 1 mile 4 furlongs - Soft - 15 run
I think that the going and trip rule a fair few of these out with several upped in trip and others not frankly normally at home in the mud.
Of those upped in trip it would not be a surprise to see Cuban Habana improve and run well and it is feared, The Nu Form Way will welcome a return to soft going but I'm not sure of the trip and the same applies to Sweet Fantasy. I can't totally rule out the out of form Bollin Margaret and Spyfall but both would be surprise winners. Arrange is another with ground issues but TWO BROTHERS is the one they all have to beat and worth a "win saver" if you like to play that option.
I'm quietly confident that these are ideal conditions for KINGS PRINCE it's also best fresh and has been a winner and a runner up off similar breaks, it's interesting they come back out at this stage of the season although it may be one that's destined for the Sales. I also think that FURZIG is very overpriced in these conditions. Its got Course and Distance winning form from a mark of 83, and despite regressing may have found an opportunity off a mark of 75 that looks very appealing.
TRACKER - Kings Prince / shrapnel - Furzig (win saver - Two Brothers)
