2nd March

 200 Catterick-Course specialist Ask Paddy holds a strong chance here.

It loves it here with a 4w-1p-7r record and is at its best after a recent run(Returning to the track within 30 days 6w-0p-14r) and it drops in class into a grade where its a force with 4 wins from 10 starts.

It surely must go well.

Caventara looked a good prospect back in 2019 but the wheels have fell off since.

Another Emotion represents a yard that hasnt got going all season.

Back Ask Paddy 16pts at 3.25 at Bet365/Hills-2nd(-16pts)Jumped out to its right a lot and that could have made the difference.

230 Catterick-Back over hurdles,I expect First Man to carry on its progressive profile,the slightly better ground will also help and this is pretty weak.

Clear danger is Gold Runner ,who is unexposed over this trip but is penalised for its recent win.

Back First Man 12pts at 4.0 at Bet365-Won(+66pts*BOG*)Dug it out well and drifted too.

300 Catterick-If the same Relkadam turns up that won last week then it will definitely win but its not the most consistent and I couldnt have it at odds on.

Miss Amelia competes off a career high mark,it is in good form but its ran below par in two previous visits here while Pull Green is unexposed but needs to improve.

The value is Monsieur Co,who should be able to creep into it and if its at its best then its a crazy price.

Back Monsieur Co 4pts at 11.0 at Hills-UP

340 Leicester-We were on Miss Zip last time,when it was hammered in the betting but made a bad mistake early on and was pulled up.

I have got to give this well handicapped horse another chance particularly as its 3/3 during Feb and March.

Arqalina looks a vulnerable fav to me,as its on a career mark now after its latest win and marks near this have proved too much in the past.

The unexposed Boro Babe is probably the main danger.

Back Miss Zip 8pts at 6.0 at Various Bookies-PU(-8pts)Lifeless performance(DT+38pts)
