The Horserace Betting Levy Board prize fund schemes provide for the estimated inclusion of £156,289 in ratecard and incremental prize money at this racecourse from 1st January to 22nd March 2024.

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

Bold form figures = All-Weather form

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.

TODAY’S TIP

BARON DE MIDLETON quickly returned to form when third in handicap company at Newcastle 11 days ago and, holding excellent claims on these terms down in grade, Brian Ellison’s veteran looks the one to side with. That said Foveros is finding his feet for his new yard and is a player, with Allbetsoff another who can feature.

TODAY’S TIP

This can go the way of LILY DU BERLAIS, who is yet to match her fairly useful bumper form in this sphere but has been campaigned solely in graded events and this is a much easier assignment returning from 11 months off Second choice is Sweet Fantasy, who carries a penalty having gone in at the first time of asking over hurdles for her new yard at Plumpton in January, with Snowrocco seemingly best of the remainder

RACE FACTS

Leading course trainer (19-24): Mrs S J Smith (13 wins from 88 runners, 15%) runs BURROWS HALL

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): R Menzies (5 wins from 28 runners, 18%) runs ONWARD ROUTE

Longest Traveller: BARRICANE trained by O Murphy, Wilmcote, 178 miles.

TODAY’S TIP

This looks competitive for a small field, the quartet all last-time-out winners, but preference is for BURROWS HALL, who improved for a step up in trip when scoring readily over C&D recently Barricane and Champ Royal are both obvious dangers.

Longest Traveller: JOBSONFIRE trained by S Allwood, Whitchurch, 136 miles.

TODAY’S TIP

GABORIOT perhaps doesn’t have quite as much class as some of his rivals but he’s in form and has much less to prove than most, so he’s preferred to Jerrysback, who has a long absence to overcome. Percussion is also likely to play a hand if he can put a tame display at Leicester behind him.
