Verdict — our pick: Mister Sky Blue

Mister Sky Blue holds a narrow edge over this Class 6 field at Catterick over seven furlongs on good ground, sitting narrowly ahead of the chasing pack and looking the most streetwise performer in what is a competitive enough contest at this level. Bizarre Law and Golden Prosperity represent the most obvious threats and will need to be kept onside, with I Can Boogy also capable of making a bold bid if things fall right. The selection's rating advantage, while modest, is enough to tip the balance in a race where the principals are closely grouped, and Mister Sky Blue can make it count over this trip. The verdict is with Mister Sky Blue.

1. Bizarre Law(9)Form: 341704

J: Kevin Stott · T: Michael Herrington · 7yo · 9st 9lb · OR 48 · trainer 23% (14d)

By Lawman out of Bizzarria (Lemon Drop Kid) · Owner: Sitting On Fence Racing Club

Bizarre Law won four starts back and has experience of both today's trip and going, giving him solid claims on conditions; carrying 135 lb from stall nine after 49 days off is the concern.

2. Golden Prosperity(2)Form: 543372

J: Jake Dickson(5) · T: Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood · 7yo · 9st 9lb · OR 48 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Galileo Gold out of April (Rock Of Gibraltar) · Owner: Samantha Ullyott Tony Coyle

Winless in his last six starts but consistently competitive, Golden Prosperity brings vital experience over today's trip and conditions, and that runner-up finish last time out — just 19 days ago — signals he arrives in good nick carrying 135 lb from stall two; the worry is he has yet to convert that consistency into a win.

3. I Can Boogy(1)Form: 676303

J: Alex Jary(3) · T: Nigel Tinkler · 4yo · 9st 9lb · OR 46 · trainer 5% (14d)

By Twilight Son out of Accolade (Acclamation) · Owner: D Caslin P Wilcock

Third last time out, and a third three starts back, suggest I Can Boogy is threatening to find her form, and our rating of 55 gives her a case from stall one carrying 135 lb; the main concern is a trainer in a cold spell at just 5% over the past 14 days.

4. Mister Sky Blue(11)Form: 295434

J: Conor Whiteley(5) · T: Gemma Tutty · 4yo · 9st 9lb · OR 47 · trainer 0% (14d)

By River Boyne out of Sacrament (Acclamation) · Owner: R Mrs J E Huin

Third two starts back and a runner-up six starts back, Mister Sky Blue brings solid recent form into this, and his experience over today's trip and going stands him in good stead; yet to win in his last six starts, but our rating of 60 makes him the one to beat from stall 11.

5. Moral Victory(7)Form: 080

J: Barry McHugh · T: Lawrence Mullaney · 5yo · 9st 9lb · OR 36 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Bated Breath out of Chamber Maid (Nathaniel) · Owner: Reverie Racing

Winless in his last three starts and ranked last on our figures, Moral Victory faces a stiff task here; he has run over today's trip and 34 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh, but an official rating of 36 makes him hard to fancy against stronger rivals.

7. Ridgemaster(10)Form: 073272

J: Amie Waugh(3) · T: Simon Waugh · 4yo · 9st 9lb · OR 49 · yard form 43%

By Mastercraftsman out of Counter Ridge (Tiger Ridge) · Owner: Northumberland Racing Club

17/2Bet365

Ridgemaster arrives here second last time out and is yet to win in his last six starts, with a pair of sevenths in that sequence tempering the promise of two placed efforts; he has run over today's trip and going, and at 135 lb from stall 10, the weight is the notable query.

8. Without Delay(6)Form: 307902

J: Connor Beasley · T: Tracy Waggott · 7yo · 9st 9lb · OR 49 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Decorated Knight out of Apace (Oasis Dream) · Owner: W J Laws

11/4Bet365

Winless in her last six starts but placed twice in that spell, Without Delay has run over today's trip and going and steps back into contention off 135 lb from stall six; a second last time out offers encouragement, though consistency remains elusive.

9. Belling The Cat(5)Form: 245478

J: David Nolan · T: Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood · 3yo · 9st 4lb · OR 44 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Rajasinghe out of New Road Side (Paco Boy) · Owner: S Bland

20/1Bet365

Winless in her last six starts and ranked tenth of thirteen on our figures, Belling The Cat faces a stiff ask here, though she has run over today's trip and going before and arrives reasonably fresh on 32 days' rest from stall five carrying 130 lb.

10. Dee's Honey(13)Form: 95-99

J: Jason Hart · T: Michael Keady · 3yo · 9st 4lb · OR 42 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Mehmas out of Meala (Epaulette) · Owner: Peter Dee Airey

Winless in her last four starts, with a pair of ninth-place finishes in her two most recent outings, Dee's Honey faces a stiff task ranked near the foot of the field on our figures, though she has run over today's trip and returns after just 12 days off.

11. Lanarra(4)Form: -23435

J: James Sullivan · T: R Mike Smith · 3yo · 9st 4lb · OR 48 · trainer 11% (14d)

By Far Above out of Shushu Sugartown (Invincible Spirit) · Owner: The Covenanters

Winless in her last five starts, Lanarra does bring distance and going experience to the table, and 18 days between runs suggests she arrives fresh, but a mark of 48 and a midfield ranking among 13 rivals underline the size of the task from stall 4.

12. Runninman(8)Form: 687406

J: Aiden Brookes · T: Donald Whillans · 3yo · 9st 4lb · OR 45 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Mehmas out of Merry Jaunt (Street Sense) · Owner: Mr D Telford

80/1Bet365

Winless in his last six starts and ranked eleventh of thirteen on our figures, Runninman faces a stiff ask here; a fourth three starts back offers a sliver of encouragement, and he has run over today's trip and going before, but the weight of 130 lb from stall eight adds further pressure.

13. Ryefield(3)Form: 5-8807

J: Tom Eaves · T: Lawrence Mullaney · 3yo · 9st 4lb · OR 48 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Ardad out of Charlie Em (Kheleyf) · Owner: Stuart Rimmer Len Taylor

28/1Bet365

Winless in his last five starts, Ryefield at least steps back up to familiar distance and going conditions, and 14 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh; however, a sequence of sevenths and eighths makes it hard to see him reversing that slide from stall three off 130 lb.

14. Twilight Dawn(12)Form: 7-5330

J: Rhys Elliott(5) · T: Simon Whitaker · 3yo · 9st 4lb · OR 47 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Twilight Son out of Heartstring (Slade Power) · Owner: Five Rise Partnership

Twilight Dawn has placed third on two occasions in recent starts and has run over today's trip and conditions before, but she is yet to win in her last five outings and an unplaced effort last time out is a concern from stall 12 off 130 lb.

NR. Rain Cap(14)Form: 374573

J: Ethan Tindall(5) · T: John David Riches · 9yo · 9st 9lb · OR 48 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Fountain Of Youth out of Rough Courte (Clodovil) · Owner: J R Racing
