Plenty of Catterick sprint regulars in action in a tight handicap. TRICKY DICKY bolted up at Southwell on his latest start, and his affinity for this track is an asset which is explained by his front running approach to races. He runs from a career high mark, whilst others have fallen in the weights, so he will need to have his 'A game' on the table in order to follow up. Lackaday is well handicapped, whilst Meshardal was 20lb better back in 2015, but his recent clash with Extrasolar implies that there is precious little to choose between those horses, with a big run expected from both.
