Catterick have an afternoon flat card Tuesday and the 0-60 handicap at 3.15 looks absolutely taylor-made for Gottcher who carries top weight but looks well drawn in stall three. Keith Dalgleish and Joe Fanning have teamed up to have nineteen winners thus far in 2013 and Gottcher ran well on his first start to finish third on his first run for 340 days at Musselburgh two weeks ago and from 1lb lower mark and will be very hard to beat.


In the other sprint handicap at 4.45 the race looks set to go to Dandy Nicholls who has both Tajneed and Majestic Manannan with preference for the latter. Tajneed generally does his winning in lower company and although he has stable jockey Adrian Nicholls on board, Majestic Manannan has a win and a second from his last three starts and remains in good heart.


There is more evening racing at Kempton and Dukes Delight (6.30) should be able to return the money lost on a failed gamble last time out at Lingfield. The gelding was backed like defeat was out of the question on handicap debut and was punted into a 6/4 favourite for the David Lanigan and Ted Durcan combination. He was beaten by a head and a short head, staying on strongly over a mile and a quarter and upped to a mile and a half, he should be able to collect from an unrevised mark.


Jeremy Noseda’s Ocean Sunset (7.00) was a huge eye-catcher on debut at Wolverhampton last month and the colt can build up that initial run when showing greenness throughout. The colt should have no problem with the trip over a mile and three furlongs and the race looks to lack a lot of depth. I’m Fraam Govan is bred for much further whilst Le Grande Cheval, Rancho Montoya and First Warning come from stables that are severely out of form. Noseda has booked Ryan Moore in a move that can be deemed a massive positive.


The longshot of the day comes in the six furlong handicap at 8.30 where Equitania can hopefully take advantage of a tumbling mark. Apprentice Tim Clark takes off a useful 7lb and the filly is at her lowest mark since winning a similar event at Lingfield last year. She was a course and distance winner here off a 4lb higher mark and should get a nice toe into the race drawn in stall four with Roger Varian’s Agerzam will likely to occupy front-running duties. Badr Al Badoor will be a warm favourite courtesy of her last time out course and distance win whilst Ferjaan and Rebel Magic are from in form stables.


Before riding at Kempton Park Champion Jockey Richard Hughes is at Ffos Los for a strong book of rides, not least Soryah for Luca Cumani in the 4.30 over a mile and a half. The filly should suit the step up in trip after winning readily at Epsom on handicap debut but has punished by the handicapper and is up 9lb for her efforts. David Simcock horses are in good nick and as such it could be worth taking her on with Princess Caetani. She has been running well this season despite getting her head in front and in a much weaker race than she has come across thus far, she can upset the apple cart and turn over Cumani filly.


In the penultimate race at 5.00 it would be no surprise to see Tony Carroll’s Tammuz put in a much improved effort now sent handicapping. She’s rated 60 for three average efforts in maidens but stepped up to a mile after her first run of the season should see her come on dramatically. Harbour Captain is seeking the hat-trick and is dangerous should she be able to get a soft lead.
