28th December

200 Leicester-Noble Legend returned to form last time and would have solid chances if that run can be repeated,however it has been pretty inconsistent the last 2 years and is 0w-2p-6r going right handed.

Great Link is 0w-2p-7r over 2m4 and has posted its best rating at shorter and on better ground than this,it may be vulnerable late on.

Moorlands Jack looks better on good ground and this is also a rise in class.

The value has to be The Italian Yob for a yard that his flying at present.

Its 2 runs this year give it every chance ,its 2 from 3 in December,the trainer is 4 from 9 at this track and the stallion has a 28% strike rate at this track.

Back The Italian Yob 8pts at 7.0 at Betvictor/WilliamHill(Accept 5.0)-3rd(-8pts)

245 Catterick-Truckers Highway is improving but im shocked that Nautical Twilight isnt favourite.

Its latest run when dropped back to 2 miles was the best of its 3 runs over fences and has to be the one to beat here.

The speed figure backs up that run and I expect this horse to shorten in its odds a lot.

Difficult to see anything else being involved if the main two run their race.

Back Nautical Twilight 13pts at 4.0 at various bookies(Accept 3.0)-Won(+39pts)Different class to these.(DT+31pts)
