Well here I am once again having been laid low by a bout of illness which caused me to put a halt to all my activities.Not yet fully back to speed as I am still very weak but do hope to be back to normal sooner rather than later.CATALYZE.trained by Rae Guest, is my choice to mark my return to the tipping game and this
horse runs in the 14.30 at
Wolverhampton on Monday where he is quoted generally at odds of 8/1.That's a pretty decent price to get things back on track in the run up to the
Cheltenham Festival and I expect this horse to oblige and do this post a massive favor.This horse has never raced at Wolverhampton before and he is up against a number of horses who have both course and distance experience.He has one victory to his name from 15 starts and that win was over 7
furs at
Salisbury a while back.He has been in the care of Rae Guest for his last 4 starts ,all on the all weather having been with A.M
Balding for his11 previous starts on the flat.His turf campaign saw him in action mainly between 7 and 8 furlongs and he started off over 7 furs for this trainer at the start of his all weather campaign.He went off at 25/1 that day and finished last of the 10 runners.His next start was over 6 furs and he went off at 33/1 and he raced without the tongue strap ,equipment which is normally outfitted on him.His next 2 starts both came over 6 furs and in the first of these, he was supported in the betting from 14/1 down to 15/2 at the off and he finished 6th out of the 11 runners beaten less than 2 lths.His last start saw him finishing 4th of 10 beaten less than 2 lths at a well supported price of 9/2 in a race which saw him finding his way to the front and looking all over the winner at the 5 fur post .His very shrewd trainer has now brought him back down again in trip so, for this horse ,it will be his first time over this sort of trip as well as first time on the the track[He should end up first ,shouldn't he?]Clearly this
Horse does possess some early speed and I believe we can look forward to a pillar to post run for this selection CATALYZE.
