After two terrible starts, Hab Reeh set to bounce back in Catterickbridge.co.uk Amateur Riders´ Handicap (Div I) at Catterick
The going is soft at Catterick, and it is still unsure how the surface will behave on Tuesday afternoon. A few initial races should show which side is likely to be favoured later in the day, but the punters will hardly have any time to make their moves.
According to the current available data about the conditions, Hab Reeh looks to be the one to beat in the Catterickbridge.co.uk Amateur Riders´ Handicap (Div I), getting started at 17:00 GMT.
His confidence is at a low after a couple of embarrassing defeats lately, but in the hands of Serena Brotherton, he is expected to overcome moderate recent displays.
He is only 1lb above mark that he defied in June this year. After making a few unfortunate rides early in the season, the 4-year-old finally got it right in June, when taking a close triumph over Sovereign Street at Redcar. The Voltigeur Restaurant 2 Courses For £10.95 Amateur Riders' Maiden Handicap saw him lead after the very first furlong.
Ruth Carr’s charge continued to run well in the middle stages to keep his head in front. He was seriously challenged in the dying moments, but a quick wise move helped him retain advantage until the finishing line. Eventually, he seized the first rank by a head’s distance.
After getting off the mark in a great fashion, the son of Diktat carried forward the fine work to run a good race at Beverley. In the Jinyu - Tyregiant.com Handicap (Div II), he ended up third after a very close battle.
Owned by Mrs B Taylor, A Dickman, Mrs R Carr, the Anglo Irish Choral Society-bred has been going through a bad spell since then. However, the situation is significantly in his favour today, thus an improved act can be expected.
Tim Easterby’s in-form 3-year-old, Dazzlin Bluebell, is going to be the biggest threat to him. The daughter of Strategic Prince knocked on the door recently, as she narrowly missed the victory twice. She should be thereabouts again.
Including the aforementioned pair, 15 horses have entered the class 6 meeting, which will be run over five furlongs. The winning prize is £1,976. Good luck to all the participants.
