Tuesday’s pick goes in the…

2.45 Catterick :

Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I operate the service. Generally, I’ll identify and share the selection in the evening before the following day’s race and I then add a detailed write-up later on that night/next morning.

Those happy to take the early price on trust can do so, whilst some might prefer to wait for my reasoning. As I fit the early service in around my family life, I can’t give an exact timing on the posts, so I suggest you follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook for instant notifications of a published pick.

Who?

Chant at 11/4 non-BOG (until morning)

Why?

A winner over this trip at Pontefract nine days ago took, his career total to four wins, all of which where over 1m 3.5f or 1m4f, all at Class 5 and all when rated 61-70, Three of his four wins have been on good to firm, he has three wins under today’s jockey and three wins at 4/1 and shorter.

His trainer Ann Duffield is 9/34 (26.5% SR) for 36.1pts (+106.1%) with runners priced at 10/1 and shorter since the start of 2014, of which…

• those last seen 4-25 days ago are 8/27 (29.6%) for 20.5pts (+76%)
• those ridden by PJ McDonald are 8/21 (38.1%) for 40.5pts (+192.7%)
• and on good to firm ground : 5/12 (41.7%) for 35pts (+291.3%)

In addition to the above and more generally, Mrs Duffield’s record in claimers since 2010 with horses who didn’t run in a claimer LTO is 13/58 (22.4% SR) for 28.7pts (+49.5% ROI), broken down as follows…

• males are 9/38 (23.7%) for 33.2pts (+87.5%)
• at 5/1 and shorter : 10/26 (38.5%) for 16.5pts (+63.3%)
• on good to firm : 6/19 (31.6%) for 22.7pts (+119.6%)
• ridden by PJ McDonald : 3/14 (21.4%) for 11.3pts (+80.8%)
• Class 5 : 3/11 (27.3%) for 0.96pts (+8.7%)
• at Catterick : 2/9 (22.2%) for 0.82pts (+9.1%)
• over 1m4f  : 3/4 (75%) for 6.83pts (+170.7%)

…meaning that it’s… a 1pt win bet on Chant at 11/4 which was available from Betfred and/or Totesport at 10.45pm,but they don’t go BOG until morning. Best BOG price was the widely offered 5/2 BOG, but I think this one will shorten anyway and to see your preferred bookies’ odds, simply…
