Catterick 4.10
WITHOUT DELAY 1/2pt ew (9-1 WH 4 places 15-2 Sky 5 places)
SWINGING EDDIE 1/2pt ew (12-1 WH 4 places 9-1 Sky 5 places)
Without Delay won over course and distance here last month, her second success here. That was sandwiched between a win at Musselburgh and a 3rd at Thirsk and while we need to put a line through a poor run at the Scottish course earlier this month, she is the sort that can bounce back to form very quickly.
Swinging Eddie is another course and distance winner who hasn't managed to get his nose in front yet this year, his last win was at Wolverhampton just before Christmas. He had a fair run at Redcar in June after five months off and slightly stepped up on that when a four length 7th of 12 here two weeks ago. Has dropped another 2lb in the weights and if he can step up his performance again today then he would be a fairly strong each way bet.
Most bookies are paying 4 places, Sky are paying 5
Catterick 5.10
FIRCOMBE HALL 1/2pt ew (8-1 Sky Betfred Boyle 4 places)
REDROSEZORRO 1/2pt ew (20-1 B365 16-1 generally 4 places)
Fircombe Hall is much better on the All Weather than he is on turf but he comes here in good form after a win at Newcastle last month, his third win of the year on the tapeta surface. He was a good 4th of 10 at Ripon at the end of May so he does act on the turf and he should be a big threat to the main principles this afternoon based on his recent form.
Redrosezorro is a big price, probably as his last two runs, at Ripon and Carlisle, were both disappointing. However he always saves his best for Catterick, winning eight times here during his career and he had two good runs here earlier in the season, a 2nd of 9 over seven furlongs here at the end of April and a 4th of 14 over today's trip in May. He is now lower in the weights than he was then and back at his favourite course he could outrun his odds.
