Catterick Bridge Race 4 - John Smiths Catterick - Raise A Pint Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Irish raider COURT CANYON (1) was last seen three months ago having closed the previous campaign with a 1.3L win in a maiden hurdle contesting 4023m at Clonmel. Boasts two wins from four starts and makes plenty of appeal. WILLIAM YEATS (7) returned in excellent order filling a placing when resuming on the flat before scoring by 7L a jumpers flat tackling 3400m at Sedgefield. In the mix again. JOEYBOTTLES (3) debuted eight months ago finishing second in a 3250m jumpers flat at Perth. Not raced since and rates a key chance if ready to go. NOONETELLSMENOTHIN (5) makes his jumping debut after a short break. Was 3L third on the flat over 3200m at Ludlow. Could prove competitive.

Racing second-up today. Not raced for 40 days. Fresh up after five months finished seventh of 12 starters at Newbury on November 6 over 3270m, 70 len behind Captain Hugo with 71.5kg at $41. Previously second-up won by 1.75 len Newton Abbot on June 4 over 3400m defeating Little Lady Rock carrying 68.5kg at $4. Can't recommend off that performance.

Third-up today. Resuming got back early finished seventh of 9 runners at Uttoxeter on October 31 over 4000m, 54 len behind Home Made Hero with 68.5kg at $151. Second run from a spell ran on from midfield; finished fourth in a small field at this track on November 21 over 3900m, 13 len behind Silver Hill carrying 70kg at $26. Go close. Must be a chance in today's scenario.

Second run from a spell won by 7 len Sedgefield on November 24 over 3400m on rain affected going defeating Drakaris with 71kg at $3.30 in a flat. Fitter now and making headway every start. Expect another forward showing.

Resuming after a break; having raced just once last preparation sat on the speed and boxed on steadily finished third of 9 starters at Sedgefield on September 30 over 3400m, 5 len behind Siouxfonic with 67.5kg at $10.

Seven-year-old mare who is first race starter by Black Sam Bellamy out of Leaderofthedance. Tough assignment at her first outing so tempted to favour others.

Last start finished seventh of 8 runners at Doncaster on November 29 over 3300m, slow track; 30 len behind Storming George carrying 66.5kg at $51. Start before eased back early on finished seventh of 9 starters at Wetherby on November 15 over 3200m, on slow going 23 len behind Fresh Perspective carrying 66.5kg at $19. Struggling to recapture her best form of late and appears tested in this line up.
