Tuesday October 6th

Two confident selections to kick off the week for us having had no bets Monday. Take the early prices.

Hernando's Boy shaped as though he would come on for the run when beaten just over seven lengths behind Simple Jim over 1m 6f here last time out. He is an out and out stayer and should appreciate the return to two miles. A dual course winner, he has been dropped five pounds by the handicapper after the last run, and Tom Eaves takes over from a clamier in the saddle. The selection represents good value at 8/1 and looks sure to go close.

Jackday has been consistent all year and contests a weaker race than he has generally run in this season in division II of the stayers handicap at 5.00. He has struggled to get his head in front, often finding less than looks likely at the business end of the race, but I reckon he has a class edge on this lot and the decent Barry McHugh takes 5lb off his back. 4/1 looks fair value.

Best Recommendation:

4.30 Catterick Hernando's Boy 3pts win @ 8/1 (William Hill, Guaranteed)

5.00 Catterick Jackday 4pts win @ 4/1 (William Hill, Guaranteed) Won

1pt each-way double @ 8/1, 4/1 (William Hill)
