Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Knicks looks the right one to side with in this Catterick sprint, as our top-rated runner on 62 and four pounds better than his nearest rival, which is a worthwhile edge in a modest Class 6 contest on soft ground. Winter Crown is the main danger on 58, while Profiteer and My Mate Mackley, both on 53, head a tightly packed group that has to find improvement to bridge the gap. With the rest of the field rated 52 or lower, Knicks has the clearest path to victory over six furlongs. Knicks is our selection.

Knicks is yet to win in his last six, but he arrives fit after 22 days, finished a fourth last time out, and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 62 tops the field against his official 58, making him the one to beat from stall 10.

P. J. McDonald
Steph Hollinshead 2/13
Winless in her last five, Sweet Desire was unplaced last time out and has finished sixth and eighth before that, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and is fit enough after 19 days, but 134 lb from draw 2 is a lot, and our rating of 42 ranks her ninth of ten.

Winter Crown has finished seventh, sixth, eighth and ninth in his last four runs, yet he has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 58 ranks him second of ten. The main risk is that he is winless in recent starts and 36 days off, carrying 134 lb from stall 1.

Chasing a hat-trick after winning last time out and two starts back, My Mate Mackley arrives fit from a 21-day break and has run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is that he carries 132 lb off an official mark of 56.

David Allan
Tim Easterby 6/58
Profiteer has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 53 ranks him third of ten, while a light 126 lb and a 27-day break suggest he's fresh enough to outrun his form. The main risk is a ninth last time out, with nothing better than a fifth five starts back.

Suzette is yet to win in her last five starts, with a sixth last time out and a third five starts back, but she has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 53 sits above her official 48. Carrying 125 lb from stall four after 32 days off, she looks a midfield type.

Eldeyaar was beaten into ninth last time out, but he was third two starts back and second three runs ago, and he has run over today's trip and going, back quickly after 12 days. Yet to win in his last six, he sits sixth of ten on our rating, off 125 lb from stall five.

Ski Angel is winless in her last six, though two seconds two and three starts back show she can get involved, and she has run over today's trip and going. A fifth last time out, 15 days ago, and a 45 figure ranking her eighth of ten make her hard to fancy off 124 lb.

Consistent without cracking it, Container Express has been fifth last time out, a fourth two starts back and a third three starts back, and has run over today's trip and going. A 222-day layoff and no win in his last five starts hold him back, though 47 on our rating sits close to his official 48.

Dylan Cunha 4/18
Winless in her last six, Mayflower Rock was sixth last time out, a fourth two starts back and another fourth three starts back, so she's hard to fancy and ranks last of ten on our rating of 41. She has run over this trip and on this going and is back quickly after seven days, but 122 lb from stall seven offers little extra.
