BIG SCREEN Catterick Racecourse are pleased to announce that the big screen is present at today’s race meeting and will be at all Catterick’s fixtures during 2023.

CASH MACHINE A cash machine is available for use in the Gods Solution Bar. COMMUNICATION DEVICES The use of tablets and laptops is strictly controlled on all racecourses and they may not be used in or near any designated betting area, or for off course betting purposes. Failure to comply could result in your removal from the premises as per the Terms and Conditions of entry.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In the event of an incident which necessitates the partial or total evacuation of any area of the racecourse, announcements will be made over the Public Address and on the CCTV. Please follow the directions of the racecourse staff and leave your area in a calm and orderly manner. If you feel you require extra assistance please notify the nearest member of the racecourse staff.

FACILITIES FOR DISABLED RACEGOERS Facilities for Disabled Racegoers – Viewing ramps for wheelchair users only are situated next to the parade ring and in front of the grandstand. Disabled toilet facilities are available in the Gods Solution bar, next to the Luncheon Suite, next to the disabled car park and in the Course Enclosure facilities.

HORSERACE BETTING LEVY BOARD The Horserace Betting Levy Board prize fund schemes provide for the estimated inclusion of £206,645 in ratecard and incremental prize money at this racecourse from September to December 2023.

HORSE WELFARE AT CATTERICK At all Catterick race meetings we has a minimum of two fully qualified equine vets who are employed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. They work closely with a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer who is also always in attendance. In the unfortunate event of an accident or a horse becoming hurt or injured, the racecourse vets are on hand to act swiftly and treat a horse without delay.

It is now standard procedure that all racecourses have modern, fully equipped horse ambulances so that horses can be moved and treated in more comfort. If a horse is injured out on the course, the vets and their assistants will erect screens enabling them to work in private - the use of screens will not automatically mean the horse has been seriously injured. Serious injuries at Catterick Racecourse are thankfully very rare, but we regard any injury, however slight it may be, an absolute priority and we would like to assure all racegoers that we have the right people, the right equipment and right procedures to deal with them efficiently.

FIRST AID Will all racegoers please note the location of the first aid post which is at the entrance to the Disabled car Park.

RACE CONDITIONS For today’s race conditions, please see page 31.

SHUTTLE BUS Catterick are pleased to announce that they are now providing a shuttle bus service between the racecourse and Richmond town centre. Today the shuttle bus will leave the main entrance approximately 10 minutes after the last race. For further details please contact the Racecourse Office.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

RACE FACTS Leading course trainer (18-23): M Hammond (12 wins from 186 runners, 6%) runs BALKOTIC Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): F O’Brien (4 wins from 19 runners, 21%) runs BLUE BIKINI Longest Traveller: DRAGON ROCK trained by J J Hanlon, Ireland.

TODAY’S TIP DRAGON ROCK showed much improved form when opening his account over fences in convincing fashion 25 days ago and, still unexposed over hurdles, Shark Hanlon’s charge could well be worth siding with to follow up now handicapping in this sphere. Beachcomber and Blue Bikini are just a couple of others to consider.

Mr Paddy Hanlon (7) J Br B g Shantou (USA) - One Day More (IRE) John Joseph Hanlon, Ireland T O Ms Rachel O’Neill B Mrs J. M. Mullins TIMEFORM VIEW Well held in Grade 3 company on penultimate start but quickly back on track returned to handicap company when successful over fences at Fairyhouse (24.3f) 25 days ago. Remains unexposed over hurdles and he’s respected. TFRHHHHH BHA122 Mr Toby McCain-Mitchell (7) J Br Ch g Presenting - Pretty Puttens (IRE) Ben Haslam, Middleham T O Mr John P. McManus B Mrs Rita Kent TIMEFORM VIEW Dropped in grade and with cheekpieces back on, he won for the first time over hurdles since 2018 at Cartmel (22.1f, good to soft) in July. Hasn’t fired since but addition of a first-time visor may well spark a revival. TFRHHHII BHA120

Mr A J O’Neill (3) J Br B g Bathyrhon (GER) - Alpes du Sud (FR) Jonjo O’Neill, Cheltenham T O Mrs E. J. Wills Wasdell Group S B Mr Philippe Rainteau TIMEFORMVIEWImpressive when landing second of 3 starts in bumpers and fair form when landing a Huntingdon maiden hurdle (25f) 24 days ago, TFRHHHHI BHA118 well served by front running/step up in trip. Possible he can do better again now attentions switch to handicaps.

Miss Fern O’Brien (3) J Br B m Winged Love (IRE) - Bleu d’Avril (FR) Fergal O’Brien, Cheltenham T O Nick Brown Racing BresBet S B Louise Kemble TIMEFORMVIEWVery capable when on song, gaining fourth career success at Warwick (21f) in May. First start for 6 months was TFRHHHII BHA115 modest at Chepstow (23.6f) in October but certainly no surprise to see her leave that behind.

Miss Imogen Mathias (7) J Br B m Yeats (IRE) - Needle Doll (IRE) Evan Williams, Llancarfan T O Mr W. Williams B Sean Keane TIMEFORMVIEWLeft John Groucott and returned to form when landing a 6-runner Southwell handicap a year ago. Premature exit wasn’t her fault next time and shaped as if still in form when third at Market Rasen final start. Off 10 months and starts out for another new yard/returned to timber. TFRHHHII BHA94

Mr Ryan Price (7) J Br B g Balko (FR) - Aurore Celtique (FR) Micky Hammond, Middleham T O Raypasha Micky Hammond Racing S B E.A.R.L. Haras Du Mondant & J.

TODAY’S TIP The vote goes to Fergal O’Brien’s fairly useful Flat recruit TEORIE as form picks Climate Precedent and Hourless don’t set the bar that high. Rose de la Jarrie, winner of her sole start on the Flat in France, is another hurdle newcomer who could have a say, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

TODAY’S TIP Her position in the market suggested that better was expected of BEAN NORTY on handicap debut at Huntingdon during the spring, and she is worth another chance now back down in trip on debut for new yard with William Maggs, who is very good value for his 7lb claim, aboard. Just Jess put in a good shift when runner-up last time and she is next on the list ahead of recent Bangor winner Mullins Cross and Turbulent Power.

RACE FACTS Leading course trainer (18-23): T Easterby (8 wins from 66 runners, 12%) runs BEAT THE EDGE Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): T Easterby (3 wins from 14 runners, 21%) runs BEAT THE EDGE Longest Traveller: TRAPISTA trained by J O’Neill, Cheltenham, 211 miles.

TODAY’S TIP FANFAN DU SEUIL is nothing like the force of old but his reduced mark reXects that and he looks ready to end his losing run judged on his close second at Doncaster on his belated return last month. Ribeye has taken well to fences and is an interesting runner back down in trip after 7 months off, while Rocco Storm can be expected to bounce back returned to this sphere.
