Catterick’s 0-100 Novices’ Handicap Chase at 4.20pm today might not be quite on a par with the level of the excitement we’ll be experiencing in the Midlands a week from now, but don’t turn down the opportunity to back a winner in this awful contest and boost the Cheltenham war chest.
I can pass on a good word for Sue Smith’s top weight Work Boy, a nine year old who hasn’t shown too many flashes of brilliance just yet in his short career, but is thought to have improved sufficiently after a reasonable effort last time at Sedgefield to get his head in front here.
West Yorkshire based Smith has employed the services a decent conditional to make the job easier to the tune of 5lb, and with second placed finishes in the bank at Market Rasen and Sedgefield he can go one better here.
I’d love to be able to sign off with a flourish and tell you he needs to win this to get into one of the handicaps at the Festival, but April 1st is still three weeks away, so just back him to win at 5/1 with Bet365 (who offer Best Odds Guaranteed) or if you have a Sportingbet account, you can take the 11/2, which is the best available.
Good luck!
