Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Aberama Gold heads the field on our ratings at 86, narrowly ahead of Marching Mac on 85, and that small edge is enough to make him the pick in a tightly packed Class 4 sprint at Catterick. Over six furlongs on soft ground, the line-up is bunched, so a pound or so could decide it. Marching Mac is the chief danger, with Manila Scouse on 83 and Azure Zain on 82 also in the mix. Aberama Gold gets the nod to edge out that trio.
Runners
Grace McEntee
Phil McEntee 1/5
Winner last time out and again five starts back, Marching Mac is back quickly after seven days and has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 85 puts him second of eight. The risk is a patchy middle spell, with an eighth and a fifth in the form.

David Allan
Tim Easterby 6/58
Miraculous was sixth last time out, 10 days ago, and has one win in his last six starts, a victory three starts back, so the form is patchy. He has run over today's trip and carries 138 lb off an official mark of 80 from stall 6, but our rating of 82 only ranks him fifth of eight.

Tom Eaves
Kevin Ryan 3/27
Belsito has won twice in his last six starts, but he's slipped to a fifth two runs back and a seventh last time out, a drift that holds him back. He's quick back after 10 days, has run over today's trip and going, and carries 138 lb from draw 3.

Tim Easterby 6/58
Manila Scouse bounces back from a quiet spell with a second last time out just ten days ago, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before, while our rating of 83 puts him third of eight. The risk is that he is yet to win in his last six, with four unplaced efforts in that stretch.

Billy Garritty
Brian Ellison 4/25
Homestrait showed a bit of form with a third last time out, and a second five starts back, so she isn't without credentials, plus she has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after eight days. Still, a poor eighth three starts back and our rating ranking her seventh of eight, with 135 lb to carry from stall seven, make her hard to fancy.

David O'Meara 5/45
Aberama Gold has been consistent, finishing second three times in his last six starts and fourth last time out four days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 86 makes him the one to beat, though he is yet to win in that spell.

Cam Hardie
Richard & Peter Fahey 3/36
Azure Zain has run over today's trip and on the going, and a third two starts back plus a win five starts back show he can pick up a race; our rating of 82 puts him fourth of eight, a leading danger. The main risk is a seventh last time out and 130 lb after 36 days off.

Shane Gray
Ann Duffield 0/2
Quercus was unplaced last time out and has only the one win in his last five starts, a victory two starts back, with fifths and a sixth around it. He has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after ten days, but our rating has him ranked eighth of eight.
