Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Rock On Pedro No. 1, stall 12
H. J. Horgan · Olly Murphy
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (8/35, 14 days)
Rock On Pedro heads our ratings on 69, a clear five pounds ahead of Bollin Neil on 64, and that cushion is the strongest argument for him in a Class 6 contest over two miles on soft ground at Catterick. Bollin Neil is the chief danger, with Habari and Ebony Maw both on 62 and close enough to pounce if our selection fails to handle the testing conditions. The bottom half of the field is rated below this level, so the contest should revolve around the first four in our figures, and Rock On Pedro is the pick.
Runners
H. J. Horgan (5)
Olly Murphy 8/35
Rock On Pedro has run over today's trip and going, and his last win came five starts back, while his recent finishes of sixth, seventh, seventh and eighth are modest. Our rating of 69 ranks him top of twelve, though a 395-day absence is the one concern.

Dylan Hogan
Ed de Giles 0/1
Two Plus Two arrives fresh enough after 15 days, having run over today's trip, and a fifth last time out follows a seventh and a ninth, though he's without a win in his last six. Our rating of 61 sits above his official 57, but 139 lb is a hefty burden.

Tim Easterby 6/58
Fresh off a run just ten days ago, Bollin Neil has a second four starts back to his name and has been over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 64 ranks him second of twelve. The risk is a ninth last time out, and he is winless in his last five.

Shane Gray
Daragh Bourke 1/6
Habari is a leading danger on our figures, ranked third of twelve and back quickly after 11 days, with experience of today's going and an official rating of 54. The risk is a run of finishes of seventh, eighth and seventh, leaving him winless in his last five starts.

Kevin Stott

Flag of Eva has been beaten in all six recent runs, with a seventh last time out and a third four starts back his best finish, though he returns after 19 days with a yard in form (8 from 23 lately). Carrying 135 lb off 60, he looks short of a winning edge, and our rating ranks him eighth of twelve.

Ewan Whillans 2/11
Ebony Maw has finished in the first four in five of his last six, including a win five starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before. A fourth last time out and a slide to sixth two starts back are the worry, along with 134 lb.

David Allan

Fairydale won two starts back but was beaten into eighth last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going before after 15 days off. Carrying 129 lb off an official mark of 54 looks a stiff ask, though our rating of 58 ranks her sixth of twelve.

Joanna Mason
Tina Jackson 0/2
Golden Samba is winless in her last six, unplaced last time and a seventh two starts back, so she is hard to fancy at 127 lb off a mark of 43. In her favour, she has run over today's trip and on this going, and a third six starts back shows some ability.

Winless in his last five, Lion City was seventh last time out, a sixth two starts back, and returns after 239 days off, which makes him hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and our rating has him last of twelve, though an official mark of 42 offers a little hope.

Patrick Morris 1/9
Masterpiece is winless in his last four, unplaced last time and a sixth two starts back, with only a third four starts back to cling to. A 28-day break is fine and an official mark of 34 is modest, but our figures rank him ninth of twelve, so he's hard to fancy.

Lilykoy has been in cracking form, second last time out and a winner two starts back, and she's fresh from a run just eight days ago, but a 49 rating that ranks eleventh of twelve on our figures makes her hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip, carrying 124 lb.
