105 Catterick 

Paddling 5/2 bet365

Hopefully Catterick will miss all of the bad weather thats forecast and the meeting goes ahead. I like the look of Paddling who contests a very average Class 5 handicap chase. First of all the yard are going well which is a big plus and I think this horse is capable of much better than his current mark of 89. He was useless over hurdles, never got closer than 43 lengths behind the winner and didn't do much better in 3 bumpers.

His 3 runs over fences have been much better, all over 2 miles. He now steps up in trip and has a good third last time out to his name, he should now be ready to do himself justice.

Good luck with this race!! I was looking through this one earlier, and thought what a rubbish race. I wasn’t sure your one could turn the form with the winning machine (not) in Mr Whitmore (apologies for the irony). I then swapped my allegiance to the old timer Amuse Me. Okay 11 years old but surely capable of this race if returning to any type of form. I don’t like the race one bit so I’m only going to stick it in a very small Yankee.
