William Hill Epic Boosts Handicap (Div I)

Catterick · 15:25 · Saturday, 17 October 2026 · 7f6y · Good To Soft · Class 4

🤖 AI race preview

Brighton Boy leads the pace appeal with a consistent RPR of 87 and strong form in soft going, having finished first at Pontefract under David Allan in a recent run where he led inside the final furlong — a pattern suggesting he can maintain pressure through the closing stages. Diamont Katie stands out with a clean 1st-place finish at Catterick in a Cl5 on good ground, showing resilience and ability to hold position under Sam James, and her recent form in soft conditions supports her as a hard-to-oppose contender despite a modest rating. The main danger comes from Misunderstood, who has shown early pace and a tendency to weaken late despite a headgear change and a strong showing at Ayr, while Kings Merchant, with a solid RPR and recent top-three finish at Catterick, presents a value each-way player at the forecast price.
