CATTERICK RACES

CARLISLE 2.50 ... CHRISTMAS LIGHT @ 7/1 Bet365, Corals and best price 13/2, 6/1 others.

David O'meara's filly has dropped 6lb in the handicap from her August 4 length 7th placed finish at York in a 1 mile Class2 handicap. Having competed the running she was well there going for home and wasn't hard pushed by Hayley Turner when beaten in the final furlong by rivals rated up to 17lb higher than this contest allows (OR 92).
Again had rivals rated low 90's just in front her penultimate outing in a Class3 at Thirsk when well there until the 8th furlong found her out.
Always at the rear latest when drawn wide over a trip looking beyond her at this stage of her career.
Again this represents another drop in Class being 3 grades below the York outing and back to a more suitable distance at which she won her maiden off a 4lb higher rating. Her only other handicap run at this trip at Beverley she wasn't disgraced going down less then 3 length to Don't Call Me, who was on the first run of a hat trick with the final leg off 84 winning the Dubai Duty Free Handicap.
John Fahy takes off another valuable 5lb and the 7/1 on offer worthy of a 2 Pt wager.

CARLISLE 5.45 ... CAPTAIN MACARRY 1 Pt @ 6/1 Lads

Latest form figures 000040 not inspiring but is another taking a drop in trip and class who's best form coming with 6 of his 7 wins from 16 runs over this 7 furlongs distance.
Now 17lb lower than last run at this trip in June having been contesting Class2 handicaps since his Kempton All Weather success off 85 this time last season.
Normal visor retained and Ian Brennan having ridden a handful of placed runners for the Yard this month up for the 3rd time, who although not the best strike rate this month tempering confidence somewhat, gave him a decent ride at Sandown 2 outings back.
