Matt Brocklebank had a 5/1 Monday winner - now check out his Tuesday selections.
COLD HENRY has had a little break since ending his all-weather winter campaign on a bit of a low note at Southwell in February and it's encouraging to see him back here at Catterick where his form figures are very encouraging (11334). He's back on a good mark too, rated just 4lb higher than when last successful and on the same mark as when beaten a head at Southwell last summer. Soft ground suits him well and the in-form Joanna Mason is back on the saddle which looks another plus.
A fascinating handicap featuring a host of improvers but JAYYASH looked one to follow when winning over course-and-distance last time and can follow-up.
An opening mark of 80 looks very fair for the well-bred son of Siyouni who showed a good change of gear to quickly to go the front when beating Goodwood Odyssey by a length, the runner-up going on to win on his own handicap debut at Sandown next time.
He was still rough around the edges when second behind Esquire in the Greenham at Newbury last time and EL BODON is capable of further improvement.
The drop back to six furlongs shouldn’t be an issue, he’ll be coming home strongly and if the penny has finally dropped he could prove too good for these.
He’s much less exposed his rivals and FIDELIUS can make a winning start to life in handicaps.
Robert Cowell has done well with similar types of late and the son of Harry Angel showed enough in three stars at two to suggest he’ll be competitive from a mark of 66.
It’s early days for ARKENDALE with Ed Bethell and he can open his account for the yard.
Third at Chester in September from a two pounds higher mark, he looked very much in need of the run on his return at Newcastle, not suited by how the race developed. The ground is right for him and he looks handicapped to go very close.
He goes well at this track and BUY THE DIP can return to winning ways.
Jim Boyle’s charge is two pounds higher than when winning over course-and-distance in October and shaped well on his return at Kempton in early April, carried wide inside the final furlong. He’ll go well.
