Aldwych Arrow, trained at Warthill near York by Mark Buckley, can chalk-up his second Catterick success of the season tomorrow.
The four-year-old lines up for the Pickhill Handicap over one and threequarter miles and will have the assistance of Sheriff Hutton jockey Kevin Darley, who this season is riding as well as ever.
Aldwych Arrow prevailed by a short head from Aspirant Dancer (winner since) on this course last month over just short of a mile and a half, and then tackled tomorrow's distance at Haydock when chasing home Sadler's Realm.
Clearly in good heart, Aldwych Arrow has strong claims in this largely modest event.
The exasperating Technician has good prospects in the Middleton TYAS Handicap.
Eric Alston's gelding remains a maiden after more than 20 races, but has stacked up a host of placed efforts. At Musselburgh last time he failed by a short heat to beat Johayro, who won again yesterday. With Willie Supple in the saddle tomorrow Technician deserves one more chance.
Lunch Party goes well over this course and distance and Jack Berry's charge is fancied to take all the beating in the Moulton Classified Stakes. George Duffield has the mount.Bollin Roberta shaped well at Thirsk recently to finish third to the well-regarded Gemini Guest.
Over the same distance tomorrow in the Sinderby Median Auction Maiden Stakes, Tim Easterby's filly promises to run a big race. Lindsay Charnock has the mount.The televised action comes from Lingfield where At Large is napped to lift the six furlongs Ruinart Champagne Handicap.
A good fourth to The Puzzler over an inadequate five furlongs on his reappearance, At Large stepped up to six furlongs at Newmarket three weeks ago and finished eighth of 17 to Perrystone View after meeting trouble in running.
He would surely have finished a lot closer with a clear run and he deserves the chance tomorrow. Michael Roberts takes over from apprentice Neil Pollard.Golconda, who has notched two wins in her last three starts, is fancied to oblige again in the Tote Football Betting In Running Handicap.
Michael Bell's filly showed plenty of determination to get home by half a length at Kempton recently.
Night Shot, who caught the eye at York last week as a horse now primed to hit the target, gets my vote in the £20,000 Courage Leisure Stakes.
Ian Balding's popular campaigner came from well off the pace in the Group 3 Duke Of York Stakes to finish an excellent fourth to Sampower Star, beaten only half a length by Yorkies Boy for third place.
Night Shot has less on his plate tomorrow and can make the most of his opportunity to win a Listed race.
