Happy 106th Birthday Frank Buttery Handicap Hurdle - Catterick

Junior Des Mottes

J: J M Quinlan T: Nick Scholfield
Race Winner
73/50

Reason for Tip

Has been a very strong performer lately with wins at Fakenham and Plumpton last month and bids for hattrick here today at Catterick. Runs under a penalty but since they’ve added cheekpieces, this seven year old has looked better and better and no reason further progression won’t happen. Ideal trip today on ground that is fine for this horse and looks a major player today in what’s on paper, a rather ordinary race. Junior Des Mottes is taken to defy the penalty and complete the hattrick. Yard and jockey are both absolutely flying at the moment and winning plenty of races, they also have a great record together when teaming up. Junior Des Mottes is the obvious form choice and not sure anything in this line up can contest him today even under a penalty.

Baldomero

J: Joanna Mason T: M Appleby
Race Winner
35/2

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here in the 4.02 at Southwell and one horse who looks particularly interesting today is eight year old Baldomero from the Appleby yard. Form of 19114 since November last year including a win at this course back in November off a mark of 83. After a series of wins has reached a peak mark of 92 currently after winning off 90 two starts ago. Despite the fourth placed finish lto, i don’t think this mark is impossible in the right race and this race looks potentially a very winnable one. Baldomero has decent course form, fine over this trip and is pretty versatile stall wise so 11 isn’t a huge concern. Race looks ripe for the taking and if Baldomero can break well he can take some catching. Big odds and there is a chance the handicapper has found the mark that stalls this horse but if running a decent race at a course he likes, Baldomero can feature today. Joanna Mason aboard.

🎯 Dark Horse

Brother Boris

3.10 Fakenham | Odds: 8/1
Trainer: L Wadham
Jockey: Tom Cannon

Brother Boris is far more interesting than his bare form suggests. While still a maiden, he ran a strong second over C&D on New Year’s Day last year and is now 7lb lower than that effort — a huge positive in a race lacking depth.

The obvious concern is the absence since April, but if he’s even close to fully tuned, this mark gives him a real chance to outrun his odds. He generally jumps soundly, stays the trip well, and Tom Cannon is a positive booking for a yard that does well placing horses shrewdly.

At 8/1, he makes plenty of appeal for each-way players and wouldn’t shock if going very close.

Roaring Ralph

J: Mark Winn T: M Dods
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Six year old Roaring Ralph has strung together three good runs in a row this year so far with form of 221 since 8th January. Got up nicely over C&D lto and after only a 3lb looks well treated still. This race is by no means a tough one and Roaring Ralph has a good chance to complete a double. Seems to relish this course and despite having a wideish draw from stall 7, unlikely to hinder him. Mark Winn aboard for the ride. Couple ahead of this six year old in the market but neither look overly threatening and a lot of this field have question marks to answer. Another consistent performance from Roaring Ralph would see him run out the winner i think.

Flying Pimpernel

J: G Sheehan T: Jamie Snowden
Race Winner
22/5

Reason for Tip

Reasonable bumper form of 283 and returns today for hurdling debut after a few months off. The form from the plumpton race lto looks half decent with one of them going in since and Flying Pimpernel looks a big player today. From a yard that knows how to ready their hurdlers and whilst they don’t run here at this course very often, when they do they have won half their races. Top jockey aboard in Gavin Sheehan who has a stellar record recently and also finds regular success riding Snowden trained horses. Trip and ground look absolutely fine today for this youngster and should be heavily involved if getting round cleanly. Likely winner.

Noble Birth

J: Keith Donoghue T: G P Cromwell
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Pretty interesting horse Noble Birth, three time winner over hurdles and generally runs a decent race in that discipline. Chase record is nothing to be shouting home about so yard have opted to keep him over hurdles for now which looks a big positive. Well treated on his best form and this race is markedly easier than some of the hurdle races he’s contested in recent months. Trip is ideal at 2m6f and acts on soft/heavy ground which is what’s forecast for Naas today. Yard possibly not winning as much as they should be at the moment but those streaks always end and this looks a great chance for this nine year old to get the job done today under a positive ride from Keith Donoghue. Big chance.

River Spey

J: Ashley Lewis T: E Walker
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Three year old River Spey was progressive last term with form of 53431 including a big race in a large field handicap at the Ebor meeting. Won at Chelmsford lto but that was 146 days ago and so going well fresh could be a question that needs answering from this youngster. Walker yard pretty decent at readying them and he has a decent rate at horses winning after a 60+ day lay off so on paper River Spey should go well after the break. Well drawn in stall 3 and this is a pretty weak handicap entry point for this boy on handicap debut today. Course debut for River Spey today but from a yard with a good record here and has a talented apprentice aboard in Ashley Lewis who knows how to win at this track too. Major player on handicap debut today and a likely winner.

🍀 Lucky 15 – TipMan Sunday Shortlist

🟢 Anariza

12.20 Windsor | 7/2
Returned from a long break in excellent style when winning lto at Wetherby in first-time hood. Still unexposed, well treated, and capable of stepping up again despite the rise in class.

🟢 Audacious Annie

2.05 Fakenham | 5/1
Forgive the latest run over an extended 3m — that trip stretched him. Back to his ideal 2m4f today with a big 7lb claimtaken off. Well handicapped and dangerous if things fall right.

🟢 Special John

3.35 Windsor | 4/1
Ultra-consistent since joining the Thomas yard and chasing a hat-trick. Up in class, but still looks ahead of the handicapper and remains open to further improvement.

🟢 Willitgoahead

3.55 Thurles | 5/2
Rock-solid form lto when second in a strong contest, sets the clear standard here. Course winner, ideal conditions, and trained by a red-hot Gordon Elliott. Very hard to oppose.
