Catterick, Lingfield (a.w.) and Worcester (N.H.)

once again, very modest racing this afternoon, but at least there are 3 meetings. At Catterick, the best race is the 5 furlongs handicap at 16.20 CET, in which Le Toreador (Kevin and Amy Ryan) can complete a hat-trick. However he would not want any more rain, and Hypnosis (Tony Hamilton), whose trainer Neil Wilson is in good form, could be a big danger. The claiming race at 17.50 is also over 5 furlongs and looks a match between Obe Gold (David and Adrian Nicholls - a team in red-hot form) and Rasaman (Kevin and Amy Ryan), who is dropping in grade and goes well on the soft. Another who should appreciate the easier going is the Monsun gelding Andorn (Peter Kirby/ David Kenny), who has top-weight in the 1 1/2 miles apprentice handicap at 18.20. William Haggas can land both divisons of the 2yo maiden over 7 furlongs at Lingfield with Wriggle (Liam Jones) at 15.00 and the well-bred Azizi (Richard Hills) half an hour later, while Piazzo San Pietro (Andy Haynes/ Tom Queally) can co mplete a quick July hat-trick in the 6 furlongs handicap here at 16.30. Over jumps at Worcester, Jonjo O´Neill and Tony McCoy can continue their good run with Night Cru in the novice hurdle at 15.40, while the 2 miles 7 furlongs handicap chase at 16.40 looks the best betting race of the afternoon. Beehawk (Kevin Bishop/ Paddy Brennan) was a close second of 13 over this CD recently and should be involved again, but Irish raider Misty Isle (L Byrne/ Jack Doyle) looks a big threat.
