5:00 Catterick Tips

17 months off the track, Betties Bay moved to the James Owen stable in December and swiftly notched an AW hat-trick. Travelling well before quickening latest at Southwell at the end of January. Still well treated and should be too good for these.

Ed Bethell has a great record here at Catterick, and his Pull The Rug, who after running well over the minimum trip behind decent horses Chairmanfourtimes (rated 92) and Catching The Moon (rated 98), won a six-furlong nursery at Leicester in September when stepped up in trip. He wasn't beaten far when fifth in a six-furlong handicap at Newcastle in October. The winner, Ten Carat Harry (now 24 lb higher), has franked that form since, and Pull The Rug could have more to offer on turf now returning from a break.

Distance winner making her seasonal debut after 228 days off, having won her last run in a Class 4 over 6f with a rating of 72. Interesting today: dropped to Class 5, with rating having risen to 75, but a good 3 lb claimer takes over in the saddle. Sneaks into each-way bet at 6/1.

Lightly raced, ex-French-trained 4yo filly. Two runs this year. Respectable return run in an 18-runner handicap, drawn on the wrong side and met traffic problems. She went too quick at the front last time out in a 5f sprint. On a reduced mark now and takes a drop in class to this Class 5, 6f handicap. She was only beaten 3L last Oct when third in a Class 2 contest. With the jockey's claim, she's effectively 18 lb better off from that run last Oct.

Miss Rainbow is a game little filly who ran a solid race last time. She chased hard and kept plugging, only losing by 3 lengths. Her course record is strong with a prior win and multiple places at this track. Plus, she's effective at 5f on any ground and loves the visor. Pyle's booking adds a nice edge too from a bargain basement, so this mark looks spot-on here.

Now 1 lb below last winning mark. Back on turf is a plus, as he has better form on turf. Gets 3-year-old allowance also. Solid chance.

Makes second start for new yard and could be suited by the drop in trip and ease in grade after racing over the extended 7 furlongs in a Class 4 at Beverley 18 days ago.
